A Spring Training Preview

It’s a mere month and a half until pitchers and catchers report for duty and I’m chomping at the bit in anticipation of Spring Training.  I’ve been attending Spring Traning games and practices since I was a kid and it’s easily my favorite time of year.  There’s a park less than a mile from where [...]

Under The Lights: Balls and Shaft

Well, what a fantastic day here at the compound. Hefler showed up and dropped two posts of knowledge on our asses. Well, one of knowledge and the other one was mocking “New Yorkers” but I am sure if that had a New England accent attached it would apply equally. Spencer continued his tour of [...]

The Playoff Races: The Final Week

Over the weekend, some of the playoff races were shaken up a bit. The Mets imploded yesterday, virtually killing their chances at keeping pace with the Phillies and winning the NL East. The Brewers also lost two of three to the Reds keeping them 1.5GB of the Mets for the Wild Card (2 [...]
