The stage was set….like many northeast bar fights of the past between two unreasonable and obnoxious fans….Philadelphia vs. New York…..Phillies vs. Yankees. The wet dream for FOX had materialized. Would the matchup live up to its billing? I give you a big, giant, veiny “affirmative”.
Game One brought us shear dominance by Philadelphia’s Cliff Lee in [...]

Phillies vs. Dodgers
Attempting to avenge last year’s loss in 5 games, the Dodgers once again meet up with the Phillies in the NLCS. This time, however, things may be different.
After dominating and dumping the St. Louis Cardinals, widely considered by many experts to breeze through the National League playoffs, the Dodgers seem to have found [...]

After a dominating performance by Adam Wainwright, the Cardinals’ Matt Holliday choked away game 2 of the NLDS. This type of choke has rarely been seen before, except perhaps in bondage films. Then again, Dodger fans can only describe it as a gift. This gift was so generous; in fact, it reminded me of the [...]

Minnesota Twins vs. New York Yankees
With the Yankees firmly owning the best record in baseball, they elected to have recently crowned AL Central Champion Minnesota Twins take a late night flight to New York, hoping to capitalize on their fatigue. It’s going to work. Without Justin Morneau, their best power hitter and operating on all [...]

The stage is officially set for the greatest comeback within a comeback in Major League History. No other team had gone from 12 below .500 to 20 over .500 in the same season. Then there's the possibility of this week.
On Saturday, jus…

Last night on "Baseball Tonight," Buck Showalter expressed his belief that the Detroit Tigers needed to win the AL Central before Sunday, so they wouldn't have to use Justin Verlander for the season finale.&n…

We have, at times this season, debated whether the Cubs should have traded Mark DeRosa and whether he would have helped the club through its various injuries and lack of production. I don't want to rekindle anything… oh, what the heck. Yes, I do.
During last night's rain…

We recently took a look at how Placido Polanco has been as good as Lee, Ramirez and Soriano in his career. It’s quite surprising, but it is true. Polanco is a free agent this winter. He signed a 4-year deal for $18 million with the Tigers after the 2005 season.
His CHONE projection prior to this season was .303/.350/.406. He’s hit .287/.334/.402. That’s about league average, but Polanco is going to turn 34 years old in 8 days so his true skill level isn’t goi…

It's time for Charlie Manuel to set his starting pitching rotation for the NL division series. And if the Phillies draw the Rockies in the 1st round, Pedro Martinez may be the odd man out.
The manager said before last night's game against Houston that if Colorado is the Phillies' opponent in the National League division series, he will take into account the Rockies' struggles against lefthanded pitching.
Manuel also noted that J.A. Happ pitched well against the Rocki…
