We are probably a little late on this one, but we just came across this fantastic YouTube clip. It’s a video of a “British play by play” of a New York Yankees game against the Boston Red Sox. The announcer is giving the play by play as if he’s watching a cricket match and gets utterly confused.

The Philadelphia Phillies have fell on hard times as of late. They are struggling to stay at a .500 record, the bullpen problems continue and the offense is not producing. With that being said, they are 6.5 games out of first place and only one game behind the Washington Nationals for second place.
The big question is, will they be able to get back to their 2008 and 2009 World Series form? Read the rest of this entry »
We take a break from my usual ranting and kvetching about the Mets and other sports related debacles to bring you my newest sketch video which lampoons the MLB Fan Cave. If you’re unfamiliar with it then check out this site http://mlb.mlb.com/fancave/ In the actual MLB fan cave between 10-15 fans are chosen to spend the year watching games and hanging out with players but for the purposes of this video there is only one lucky or not so lucky fan who is chosen. Enjoy!
What would a Zach Greinke start be for the Los Angeles Dodgers without a few hit batters and a brawl? But this time it wasn’t him instigating.

If you saw a video of an 8-year-old squatting 200 pounds, dead lifting about 175 pounds, and pulverizing a punching bag for a minute straight, your first thought probably wasn’t, “Wow, this kid is going to grow up and pitch in the MLB.”
If that was your first thought, then you’re crazy, but that’s exactly what this video is.
Here’s a short clip of Cincinnati Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo working out when he was 8-years-old.

Josh Donaldson, the Oakland Athletics’ starting third baseman has had an All-Star caliber season so far.
On the year, Donaldson hast a .324 batting average, and his hit 8 home runs and driven in 33 runs.
While these numbers are impressive, they aren’t the most impressive thing Donaldson has done this season.
Check out this video of what Donaldson did in batting practice before last night’s game, and focus in on his reaction.

Bio: Another prospect, another Cardinal. That is not the only similarity between Shelby Miller and Wacha, as they both hail from Texas. Again, he was also accepted to play at Texas A&M, but unlike Miller, elected to play college ball. In his final season, Read the rest of this entry »
In this series I will be writing analyses of the best young pitchers and position players that the MLB has to offer.

As any fan knows, there is nothing worse than seeing your team play poorly. From seeing disgustingly bad box score numbers to being disrespected on the radio, TV and internet, teams that perform poorly are treated like they are some sort of human subspecies.
