Josh Hamilton Looking for Next Team to Stress Out
This morning, MLB Trade Rumors continued the speculation with a short piece on where Josh Hamilton might end up. Texas Rangers? Boston Red Sox? Chicago Cubs? It’s slightly surprising that anyone cares anymore. Hamilton finished the 2012 season with a slash-line of .285/.354/.577, 43 home runs and 128 RBI, but who in their right mind […]
2012 MLB Season Ending Moves Surprising Nobody – Part One
Here’s a handful of tweets from the tweeternet detailing news/moves that should come as a surprise to no one.

NLDS Game 1: St. Louis Lets Washington Off Hook
Errors and offensive inefficiency will kill you every time. Someone said that once at the bar I go to for occasions such as the Super Bowl, my birthday, Wednesday nights. It’s obvious, I know. But sometimes drunken bar wisdom cannot be denied—wisdom is wisdom. The saying was actually something more like, “these fn’ guys are […]
NLDS Game 1: Nationals Strike Out 13 Times in 3-2 Win Over Cardinals
We’re willing to admit it. Sometimes baseball is downright boring. Between the two teams, twenty men were left on base, and hitters went 2-17 with runners in scoring position.

The Oakland Athletics tried to give the game away, but the Detroit Tigers kept trying to give it back. Today’s jerk turned hero: Don Kelly. Over the past four seasons with the Tigers, Kelly has been called up and sent down more times than he’d like to remember. This year in 118 at bats, Kelly […]

ALDS Game 1: Oakland Swings and Misses
Yeah, yeah, Verlander Shmerlader. We get it. He’s lights out, but tonight’s Oakland lineup made themselves ripe for the picking. In tonight’s 3-1 win against the A’s, Justin Verlander struck out 11 over seven innings, allowing only one run on a Coco Crisp solo shot in the first inning. It should be noted the A’s […]
2012 All-Jerks Team
We asked our readers in August who they thought should represent the 2012 MLB All-Jerks Team, and here are the final tallies. Not a bad team, if we do say so ourselves. If only Brandon Inge wasn’t injured… Note: team is comprised of both AL and NL players. The take away? Barely anyone voted. Maybe […]
