It's stupid that Barry Larkin isn't already in the MLB Hall of Fame while Ozzie Smith is. Larkin was one of the most dominant offensive shortstops over the course of a 19-year career spent entirely with the Reds. On his resume, Larkin can list 12 All Star game selections, 9 Silver Sluggers, 3 Gold Gloves, and an MVP. ... Read More

Oh NOOOOOOOOO!

The site is most likely bullshit, but vote, anyhow, because Kermit likes to win things, even when the wins are made-up and he had nothing to do with the victory. Roundup tips, as always, are appreciated.

ESPN has announced that Jon Miller and Joe Morgan will be joined by FORMER GENERAL MANAGER OF THE NEW YORK METS, Steve Phillips (thanks to Zach for the link). It has long baffled me that ESPN plays up Phillips' former job. He got ... Read More

Courtesy of Wikipedia, here are some interesting things that were going on in the world the last time the Cubs reached these heights:
