Stuff like this makes my head hurt.
I hate even linking to it because I hate sending even a tiny bit of traffic in that direction, but I feel like this jackass needs to be called out just for his utter lack of originality. Seriously? We’re still asserting that people who employ certain metrics to [...]

Man, so much of this “respect the other team” stuff bubbling up the last couple of days. I guess it’s that time of the Spring. Jon Heyman:
The Milwaukee Brewers are a young team, but they are growing up fast. They recognize that they are new school and not old school, but that they must go [...]

Look: I do not aim to make light of the sexual assault accusations against Ben Roethlisberger. But something in the story caught my eye:
A 20-year-old student in the college town of Milledgeville, Ga., told a police officer that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her.
Hold on one second: Milledgeville? How is this the first [...]

Hat tip to D.J. Short for the story. The random (assuming it is random) coincidence has always entertained me.

The Internet is atwitter with this report from Jesse Spector in the Daily News, in which Bengie Molina weighs in on what he feels happened between him and the Mets this offseason. Check it out:

We don’t see it, but we’re told that Tone Loc picks off Reeves at first base. [...]

I read the print edition Daily News every day on my commute into Manhattan. I realize, of course, that I could get all of it online on my iPhone, but I like the effect of seeing the front and back pages, plus I don’t think reading on such a tiny screen is good for my [...]

Baseball Prospectus’ PECOTA system projects the Colorado Rockies to win the National League West in 2010 despite a quiet offseason in which the team’s biggest acquisition was part-time catcher Miguel Olivo.
Still, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise: The Rockies will return nearly the exact same team that won 92 games and the Wild [...]

‘Duk posted this classic Reds video today at Big League Stew, and it made me realize that there could be a few TedQuarters readers who haven’t seen the following bit of absurdity:

So Steve Phillips has been replaced as ESPN’s resident GM-turned-analyst by former Blue Jays honcho J.P. Ricciardi.
I don’t know exactly how it’ll shake out — from the news stories I’ve read, it sounds as though Ricciardi’s destined for Baseball Tonight and not necessarily replacing Phillips in his star turn as the third member of the [...]
