Finally, the Baltimore Orioles are investing in some pitching. Young arms are good to build on, but veteran arms are needed to compete with the Yankees and Red Sox, also known as the Boardwalk and Park Place of Major League Baseball. Kevin Millwood should be, at most, serviceable as a starter for this team.

So during a week where could’ve-been-Orioles were accepting their own Gold Gloves to accompany a World Series win, and shouldn’t-have-been Orioles were having their [...]

That’s how I [...]
So the guy that brought in Esmailyn “Smiley” Gonzalez was unjustifiably fired?
A Dominican Republic tribunal has ordered the Washington Nationals to pay US$40,000 in damages to a scout who was fired after signing a prospect who lied about his age.
Jose Baez, the Nationals’ former director of operations in the Dominican Republic, sued the team for [...]
Either the Washington Nationals are very dumb, the Cleveland Indians are very smart, or they meet somewhere in the midst of Manny Acta’s warm smile and calming personality.
Acta is the new manager of the Cleveland Indians, which is a job that is dangerously close to being as hopeless as the Nationals’ gig. Fortunately, Acta can [...]
