Carlos Quentin Hangs Out Over the Plate
After Thursday night’s melee featuring an enraged (and clearly confused about the game of baseball) Carlos Quentin, and a timid, yet defensible Zack Greinke, many are asking themselves, what would my favorite pitcher do if he were charged by a 6′ 2″, 240 lb. madman who’s willing to forget the fact his team is in […]
Jose Reyes Ankle Injury Could Sideline Him 1-3 Months
Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Jose Reyes suffered what appears to be a moderate-to-severe ankle injury in tonight’s game against the Kansas City Royals.

Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks for April 4
After winning a bit of money on the 2nd, yesterday’s lineup took a step backward. Poor performances from Billy Butler and Elvis Andrus cost us.

Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks for April 3
At this point, you might be saying to yourself, “Why am I reading this?” Bear with me. We’ll get it figured out. It’s too early to bail on me, your resident jerk. Yesterday, we had some lineup issues with Raburn and Valencia not playing at all; ehem, Valencia isn’t even on the active roster. I […]
