The Cardinals and their magical mid-summer deals
Mon Aug 3, 2009 2:54 PM EDT
It really should come as no shock to anyone that Mark DeRosa has hit seven homers in his first 19 games as a Cardinal, or that Matt Holliday, in his first 10 games wearing red cleats, is an absurd 20-for-37 with three jacks and 10 ribbies.

King Felix was almost traded to the Sox
Mon Aug 3, 2009 1:55 PM EDT

When postgame quotes don't make an ounce of sense
Mon Aug 3, 2009 9:20 AM EDT
Marlins second baseman Dan Uggla was probably just trying to say something nice about a former teammate. Or he was stuck in a postgame euphoria and all he could think was happy thoughts. Or he's a good liar.

The Show: possible deadline deals, most depressing season
Wed Jul 22, 2009 11:01 AM EDT
This week on The Show, Rotoworld's Matt Stroup talks with Ben Nicholson-Smith of MLBTradeRumors.com. Obviously there's some talk of Roy Halladay, but we also get into Matt Holliday, the possibility of the Giants adding a bat, and more.

Wed Jul 22, 2009 10:46 AM EDT
The headlines from last night go to Jayson Werthas he morphs into an indestructible force, and the Phillies as a team for a 10-game winning streak that is the longest for a defending champion since 1971.

Pace Car: Pujols, Teixeira, Lincecum, and others chase history, Gehrig, and burgers
Sat Jul 18, 2009 9:18 AM EDT
Plenty has been written and said about the season that Albert Pujols is having, but this nugget might be my favorite: he’s on pace for 60 HR and only 64 K. Incredible. In similar fashion, Roger Maris only struck out 67 times during his 61-homer season in ’61.

Greg Maddux needles Mets, offers wisdom, will be missed
Sat Jul 18, 2009 8:53 AM EDT
Prior to Mets-Braves last night, Greg Maduxhad his number 31 retired at Turner Field. And after a nice ceremony, Maddux concluded his remarks with this gem: "Let's beat the Mets ... like old times." Who knew that Greg Maddux was funny? Even as a Mets fan, that slayed me.

Good bet that something's wrong with Pedro
Mon Jun 1, 2009 9:40 AM EDT
The Mets have a pretty glaring hole in that number five starter slot. Pedro Martinez is still available for the taking. Mets GM Omar Minaya loves Pedro. Mets fans love Pedro. The front office has a history (usually) of being very cognizant of what the fans want.

Sat May 30, 2009 4:21 PM EDT
One of the favorite go-to lines for certain baseball people is to gush about team chemistry. Whenever a team is going well, we hear from managers and writers and players about the great character guys are on the team and this and that.

Wieters debut stacks up to the greats
Sat May 30, 2009 2:34 PM EDT
So Matt Wieters made his debut last night. It was a rather uneventful one: 0-for-4 (fly out to right, grounder back to the box, weak grounder to 3rd, and a backwards K), and the poor Orioles fans couldn't even watch him take BP because of rain.
