I think every baseball can appreciate this and find this funny, even for our resident Yankees fan, Josh. In this spoof of “Moneyball,” the team at Jest takes a look at the mighty struggles of the New York Yankees to field a championship team with a $200 million payroll. http://www.jest.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=46873&use_node_id=true&fullscreen=1

The Diamondbacks were able to earn another chance at postseason success by winning Game 3 by hitting Brewers’ starter Shaun Marcum hard and often. The former Phillies starter, Randy Wolf, provided some value to the back end of the rotation in the early part of the century eventually landing in Milwaukee via the LA Dodgers. [...]

The series continues at Busch Stadium in St. Louis for the first elimination game. Roy Oswalt looks to close out the series against the much traveled Edwin Jackson.

As a baseball, I liked what Shaun Marcum did last year but was surprised to see him in trade this offseason. Though it made sense since he was coming off his best season and still in his arbitration years, I could see why he wouldn’t be a long term fixture in the Jays’ rotation. He [...]

ALDS Preview: Game 4 of Yankees/Tigers

After a grueling game last night, the teams return for the elimination game number one. What can we expect from the starters? I have no idea. They can be good. They can be bad. It’s more of a matter of who executes. AJ Burnett has described as enigmatic. Most Yankee fans would describe him as [...]

Big win for the Cards in Game 2 as they beat Cliff Lee to even the series. Having the best offense in the NL allows you keep hoping that you can break through any pitcher, even Cliff Lee. The erstwhile staff ace, Cole Hamels, takes the bump against Albert Pujols and the gang at 5:07 [...]

Now down 2-1 in the series, how will the the Rays respond? Pitching in the top half of the first will be much-hyped-about Jeremy Hellickson, yet another product of the Rays vaunted farm system. After an impressive cup of coffee for the Rays last year, Hellickson spent the season in the Rays starting rotation getting [...]

In keeping with tradition (starting this morning), we’ll take a look at the pitching match-ups and build from there. And what a pitching match-up we have! The rain delayed Game 1 started out with the best starters in the AL facing off but combined to throw only 3 half innings. While CC Sabathia had his [...]

After tying up the series at 1-1, the Rangers travel to Tropicana Field to continue the series in Tampa St. Petersburg. In Game 1, Joe Maddon tabbed rookie Matt Moore to take the ball which turned out to be a superb idea. I’m sure many questioned Moore’s “experience” and “ability to handle pressure” but Moore [...]

The National League had its fair share of drama on the regular season’s last day as the Phillies helped the Braves with their own embarrassing collapse. A preseason longshot made it out of the West so the narratives are just running wild. Arizona Diamondbacks (NL West) vs. Milwaukee Brewers (NL Central) The first game today [...]
