Have you noticed that game after the game the officiating of veteran umpires have gotten worse. Is this a sign to the MLB to expand the replay use or does the main aspect of getting the call right means a crew meeting?
Do umpires need to start cracking down and work as a crew?
I mean why else do we put six umpires on the field in a postseason game?

The Washington Post and AOL Fanhouse are reporting that Los Angeles Dodgers bench coach and former Yankee great Don Mattingly is a candidate for the vacant manging spot for the Washington Nationals.

This past week, the Nats have asked and were granted permission by the Dodgers to court Mattingly.

He told Fanhouse that any interview would wait until after the World Series.

Personally, I think this is a great move for the Nats.  I thought when Joe Torre left the Yankees they should have tried to hire him.

Now they may just get the next best thing.

If 2004 taught us anything, besides how to properly apply fake blood on a sock for profound effect, it would be to assume nothing.

What you're about to read assumes absolutely nothing. Zilch. Nada. It lives solely in the moment.

The Yankees played one of their best all-around games of the season on Tuesday night, a 10-1 win over the Angels that put them one victory away from their 40th American League pennant.

The Phillies continue on their quest Wednesday to be the first National League team to win back-to-back World Series since the Big Red Machine of the Cincinnati Reds in the mid-70's.

They are one win away from getting back to the World Series for that second straight year. Former Phillies starter Vicente Padilla, and the somewhat snake bit Los Angeles Dodgers, remain standing, just barely, in their way.

After a devastating blown save and blown game by 100 mph pitcher Jonathan Broxton on Monday night, the Dodgers are hanging on by a thread.

The MLB finally had a chance to do the right thing in regards to a player that was caught cheating, but instead just as usual MLB turned its back on its fans! It's getting very old; this is the same MLB that allowed for steroids to become rampant.

Who was MLB protecting this time? The answer is Mariano Rivera. On camera there's a clip that shows Rivera clearly spitting on a baseball. Here's the clip if you want to see for yourself what Rivera did.

It's official, ESPN's Steve Phillips has amazing taste in women. It was released today that Phillips had an affair with another lower level ESPN employee, Brooke Hundley. Phillips ended the affair and was then harassed and stalked by this "lovely" lady. She then proceeded to leave a letter on the front steps of the Phillips home addressed to Steve's wife. I don't know about you, but this chick seems like a winner! Let's look into this story...

Before I begin, I’ll set my own record straight: this is not a diatribe to follow the lines of Game 6 of the NBA Western Conference Finals in 2002.

I’m not going to sit here and point fingers about conspiracy theories, all the while playing mysterious music in the background .

Great American Ball Park (GABP) officially opened its doors at the beginning of the 2003 season. Located on the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, it serves as the home of baseball's first professional team, the Cincinnati Reds. Despite the team still looking for its first winning season since moving in, Great American Ball Park remains a wonderful place to watch a baseball game.

At various points throughout the season, we try to take a bit of a step back and objectively review what has come to pass and what the future might hold for our Cleveland Indians.

We conducted a survey of Indians fans and experts at the beginning of the season, the All-Star break, and one last time when the 2009 season came to a close. Below, you will find our final conclusions on the Indians' 2009 season, based on the results of our last survey.
