Evan Longoria was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a partially torn left hamstring Tuesday. Not only does this suck for the third baseman, but it sucks a whole lot more for the Tampa Bay Rays, who will be without their best player for at least 3-4 weeks and what might end up being up to 8 weeks.

Check out Sooze wearing that sweet Let’s Get Denarded t-shirt by the fabulous t-shirt makers DiamondCentric Apparel. There’s even a no. 2 on the back.

This could quite possibly be the best way to celebrate the badassery of Minnesota Twins center fielder Denard Span.

We know you want one. [...]

Jamie Moyer is headed to the Hall of Fame… or at least his glove is, as the oldest pitcher to earn a big league victory.

The 49-year-old left-hander, who will turn the big 5-0 on November 18, tossed seven solid innings Tuesday to help the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 5-3. Relying heavily on his not-so-fast fastball and a cutter that’s still pretty nice [...]

Ozzie Guillen is up to his old shenanigans and Bobby Valentine has been told what’s up. Guillen was ejected from Monday’s Grapefruit League game against the Boston Red Sox for what else but arguing a call. Then, as the new Miami Marlins skipper exited the field, opposing manager Valentine gave him a sarcastic wave adios [...]

With Spring Training well underway, it’s time for one of our favorite things in all the world: Season Previews. Five years ago, they began as a semi-serious analysis and ended up as half-assed haiku. We’re just gonna go with what we know. Moving right along with our preview of the National League East, get a [...]

It’s about time to kick off one of our favorite things in all the world: Season Previews. Five years ago, they began as a semi-serious analysis and ended up as half-assed haiku. We’re just gonna go with what we know. Continuing our preview of the National League Central, here is a sneak peak at the 2012 Chicago Cubs.

It has only been [...]

We like to take long breaks from blogging just before Spring Training gets underway. Obviously. But what better way to get back into the game than waking up to hear the news of Josh Hamilton’s alcohol relapse. Sadly, no whipped cream [...]

So the Chicago Cubs have traded Carlos Zambrano to the Miami Marlins, who once again are demanding our attention. We can’t wait to see him in his new Rainbow Brite uniform.

In return, the Cubbies will get right-hander Chris Volstad while also forking over $15.45 million of Zambrano’s $18 million salary [...]

It’s no secret that Fernando Rodney scares the crap out of us. In fact, we’re pretty sure that he frightened the Tampa Bay Rays into giving him a one-year contract worth $2 million on Wednesday. The deal even has a club option for 2013. Hot Stove in Tampa Bay!

Let’s be serious here for a minute. [...]

Sometimes when players are traded, they get all upset about where they end up and who they’ll miss. In Carlos Quentin’s case, he’s pretty excited. The Chicago White Sox traded the All-Star outfielder to his hometown San Diego Padres this weekend, and when he got the call he was conveniently already in town. This is [...]
