2013 prediction sure to be wrong
Every year I love to put out my own predictions piece (here is last year’s) and I am mostly always wrong. For those who like to point out how dumb I am; bookmark this so you can use it later this season. Division winners National League West: Los Angeles Dodgers: I don’t think it will …

Springtime Baseball Latitudes and a Cosmic WBC
As major league teams (and we BSB writers) finally emerge from off-season hibernation, a entire month of spring training games in those two sanguine states of Arizona and Florida offer baseball fans a sneak preview of future prospects, flashes of brilliance from replacement players doing their best to earn a roster spot, and brief glimpses …

The Wilder Card
It’s time to take a little break from the paired-pitching analysis and replacement-level player dissection that is the 2012 Rockies to discuss the second wild card. I’ve hated the idea since before it became a reality, back when Tom Verducci of Sports Illustrated first brought it up. To be fair, it wasn’t his idea, but …

Baseball skills competition – we need it!
Hockey has a great skills competition before their All-Star Game, so does basketball. I remember back in the day watching guys like Mark Gastineau lifting weights in the sand prior to the NFL Pro Bowl or Darrell Greene winning the Fastest Man competition. How about those old school NBA games based solely on the dunk …
