In sports, teams often raise and sink, it is the way of the game. No one would be entertained if the same teams and players always won year after year. Seldom does it happen, however, that a team pulls out a winning streak from nowhere. The Tampa Bay Devils Ray did just that in [...]

“Breaking news story just in, more baseball players have been determined to be using a skill-enhancing drug called steroids!” My stance on the subject… who cares.
The media widely has been known to blow things substantially out of proportion, and this is certainly one of those cases. It can be argued for hours on end, one [...]

As we near only one month left in this year’s baseball season, the Chicago Cubs have what seems like an insurmountable lead in the NL Central race.

MLB Power Pack is beginning to see a real trend. The same 5 teams have been in the rankings for weeks, and I don’t see any reason for that to change. The 5 best teams in the MLB, as determined by me, follow:
Week 5 - 5/10/08:
5. Boston Red Sox - This run scoring [...]
