Losing to New York on Thursday Night Football in the Meadowlands two weeks ago, coupled with the Phillies getting eliminated from the postseason in humiliating fashion the same evening, made for one of the worst sports nights of my life. The […]

Well, it must have been something like that, because the Giants have announced that they WILL be posting Kazuma Okamoto: Th...

While there has not been much noise about the Washington Nationals managerial hunt, there are hirings being finalized around the league.
