I’m one of those guys who thinks an MLB salary cap is a silly, unnecessary, terrible idea. You can complain about the Yanks and Red Sox and spending sprees all you want, but that won’t change the facts. For example: How many MLB franchises have played in the past ten World Series? 14. How about …

With a new year, a new attitude towards sports (forum sports article)
With a new year, a new attitude towards sports- In the heat of the NFL’s Lite Beer/Cialis sponsored “race” to the 2012 Super Bowl, and in the midst of the NBA’s rapid fire, exhausting game-a-day semi-apologetic season, it seems none too soon to start talking about and yes, even “critiquing” the state of …

Time for McCourt to Get Out of My Town
A week ago on Wednesday, I headed up to Chavez Ravine to watch the Dodgers take on the Atlanta Braves. It was my time back at the stadium this season. A lot of people were wearing blue, but not Dodger Blue. Navy Blue. Thanks to an incident a few weeks ago against the Giants, police …

The 2011-2012 NFL Schedule: Winners & Losers
Yesterday, the NFL schedule was released in the midst of the lockout and a second mediation session between the players and owners.

On the field, the Dodgers find themselves sitting in 2nd place in the NL West (13-13), 4.5 GB of the division-leading Colorado Rockies.

One Clutch Three
I had a pretty cool spring break, but nothing outrageous (classic “Spring Break” video omitted). I went to Washington D.C. for a few days and saw the National Archives, a few Smithsonians, a Wizards game – the whole nine yards. It wasn’t my first time, or even my second. The reason my spring break tops …

Dean Taylor: A life around the ball field
With only a month left until graduation, the Claremont Colleges’ Class of 2011 will soon be off into the real world. Looking at the seniors, you see a bunch of brilliant 22 year old kids, not the older versions of themselves that’ll manifest some ten, twenty, or thirty years down the road. We know, though, …

The Madness of March (and April)
At the beginning of The Big Dance, I felt that this year’s tournament field would be dominated by traditional powers like Duke, Kansas and multiple Big East teams. There were 17 teams with more than 12 losses in the tournament and what seemed like a couple of overrated teams from the Power 6 conferences like …

A Leadoff Controversy?
Since the New York Yankees re-signed Derek Jeter for a whopping $51 million over three years, questions have arisen as to where the future hall-of-famer should hit in the lineup. For the past few years, we have become accustomed to seeing Jeter lead off. For most of his career, Jeter batted in the #2 spot …
