BASEBALL BLOGGERS ALLIANCE PRESENTS: BBA BASEBALL TALK ON BLOG TALK RADIO TONIGHT AT 11PM ET
A fan’s guide to the Cactus League
If you’re a baseball fan and you’ve never been to Spring Training, you owe it to yourself to go. Trust me on this, you’ll have the time of your life and wonder why it took you so long to get there. If you’re an Angels fan and you live in Southern California, you can easily [...][...]
Offseason Prospectus #17: Colorado Rockies
In the fall of 2007, the Rockies used an eleven-game winning streak and an extraordinary extra-innings win against San Diego in game 163 to surge into the postseason and eventually to the World Series. They had five players with 90 or more RBI – Matt Holliday (137), Brad Hawpe (116), Garrett [...]

The conventional wisdom is that you look at the tea[...]
Rocky Road for the Dodgers
The current end-of-season set between the Rockies and Dodgers is so packed with drama, the postseason itself may seem like a let-down. Among the dramatic highlights of tonight’s game, which I listened to via MLB.com, we had Manny Ramirez, the 2004 World Series MVP, idiot savant of the batters bo[...]
For Cardinals, Clinching Doesn’t Solve Everything
The Cardinals were able to lock up the NL Central this weekend. They weren’t able to lock down worries about the postseason, however. The clincher was nice and you have to give all credit to Adam Wainwright. 130 pitches and he’s still able to strike out batters to keep the St. Louis[...]
Cardinals’ Party On Hold
All the Cardinals needed was a win. A win to head to October. A win, and Chris Carpenter was on the mound. It was all set up for a perfectly appropriate ending. However, someone forgot to either tell the offense or the Rockies, depending on who was more at fault. This article and ot[...]
