Nate Silver of Baseball Prospectus and SI.com recently released his list of the 50 Most Valuable Players in baseball. We took Mr. Silver to task for not including Carl Crawford. Let’s just say we aren’t buying Nate a beer anytime soon. In light of this glaring omission, we thought it [...]
Durham 5, Indianapolis 0. We had a couple of things going on so we were going to skip this feature today. Of course by a “couple of things” we mean we didn’t get to sleep til real late. But nooooooo. Jeff Niemann has to go and toss 6.1 innings of [...]
