AL Wild Card: Astros (Dallas Keuchel) at Yankees (Masahiro Tanaka) At first thought I had the Astros winning but after thinking about it I’m going with the Yankees. Keuchel is a Cy Young contender but he’s pitching on 3 days rest and I’m not sure how often he has done that if ever. Yankees get…
Not a lot of bigger milestones this month but for each of these players these numbers should be a big deal. For me the biggest question from these milestones is whether or not Ichiro will reach 3,000 hits? BATTING MILESTONES Chris Carter, Astros, 100 HR’s Torii Hunter, Twins, 2,400 hits Chase Headley, Yankees, 1,000…
When MLB made the decision to add the 2nd Wild Card team for the playoffs the Trading Deadline forever changed. 28 teams made trades in the last week with 16 of them making multiple deals. This is a great thing for the game of baseball. Biggest surprise for me was the Blue Jays making a…
Alex Rodriguez had another big month in reaching a few new milestones. He got his 3,000 career hit which happened to be a home run. He also become only the 3rd player in MLB history to record 2,000 RBI’s joining Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth. Albert Pujols also reached a big milestone, passing a HR…
A few big time numbers were reached in May and none bigger than Alex Rodriguez passing Willie Mays in HR’s and Lou Gehrig in RBI’s. As controversial as A-Rod has been over the years, what he is doing is pretty amazing considering he didn’t play any ball last year and I am not a Yankees…

I’m going to make this short and sweet this year. Haven’t had much luck the last 2 years but who really does. With all the moves in the offseason and most teams thinking they have a chance will make this much harder than the last couple years. AL EAST 1) Blue Jays 2) Red Sox…
As a baseball fan I usually enjoy reading about who the so called “experts” think will win all the major awards. Most picks are pretty generic but every once in a while someone will pick a sleeper and get it right. I am by no means an expert but I am a huge baseball fan.…
By Kelly: Spring Training is just right around the corner and I’m so jacked for it to start. When those first Pitchers and Catchers report I’m ready. Ready to see the pictures and videos of the players. Ready to hear the sounds of Spring Training, pop of the glove as the players are warming up,…
By Kelly: I always look forward to the beginning of February every year for the release of Topps Series 1 and this year didn’t disappoint. They shook up the design big time. The white borders are gone and it now looks like a stone color that fades into team colors. The checklist is bigger this…
