2012 MLB Preview: NL West

Posted on April 27, 2012 by

Here’s my final division preview. I think this is an incredibly difficult division to handicap. Each of these teams has considerable strengths, but there isn’t a complete team to be found here, in my opinion. It should make for an … Continue reading →

Posted on April 27, 2012 by

It’s been a few weeks since I picked up my MLB Predictions. (A major school project and moving to a new house has occupied a lot of my time lately.) But I want to pick up here with the AL … Continue reading →

MLB Preview: NL Central

Posted on April 10, 2012 by

I’ll admit that it’s hard to think objectively here. As you all well know, I’m a Cards homer through and through. And while I thought long and hard about picking Cincinnati to win the division, I just can’t seem to … Continue reading →

MLB Preview: AL Central

Posted on April 8, 2012 by

This is by far the easiest division to handicap. Detroit could win this thing by 10 games or more. They’re that good and the rest of these teams are playing catch up. But check back in a few years: once … Continue reading →

Here’s the link to my previous AL East preview. Now for the NL’s power division. It’s possible that this division could produce three playoff entrants, thanks to the new double wild-card addition (which I’m warming up to, by the way). … Continue reading →

It’s been a while since I’ve posted one of these. Here’s a random smattering of things I’ve been enjoying lately. American Idol with my kids. Everybody knows American Idol is a long-in-the-tooth franchise: the ratings are slipping, the contestants are … Continue reading →

So Long, Albert

Posted on December 9, 2011 by

Yesterday, shockwave. Albert Pujols, erstwhile first baseman and “face of the franchise” for my beloved Cardinals, came to terms on a 10-year, $250+ million contract with the California Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. In St. Louis, where baseball is king, … Continue reading →

Greatest Game Ever?

Posted on October 28, 2011 by

Obviously, it should come as no surprise to most of you that I’m on cloud nine today. My beloved Cardinals, down to their last strike, not once but twice, the season hanging by a precarious thread with the Rangers poised … Continue reading →

Guts

Posted on October 20, 2011 by

This might be my favorite Cardinal team in recent memory. When ace Adam Wainwright went down in March, Cardinal fans braced for a long season. “Let’s just sign Pujols,” was the prevailing sentiment among many. Play for 2012 and beyond. … Continue reading →
