HAHAHAHAHAHA (wipes tear from corner of left eye) As you can tell I have half a mind to just cut it off here and say they don’t have a chance. But for the sake of them making the playoffs I’ll…
It’s starting to feel like the time of year when all the teams rush to the trade market and go after a new bat or arm. Just as with shoppers on Black Friday, baseball teams too rush out at some…
(Disclaimer: You can live without these players, it certainly doable.) Injuries happen. Trades happen. Prolonged, bench-worthy stints occur. Players might not be there. Whether that player is your everyday superstar or fourth outfielder, the loss means something. But in the…

• Texas– The Rangers are also very solid everywhere. One concern could be their rotation. Alexi Ogando has been good, All-Star good in fact, but Ogando could have his innings capped in an effort to save his arm, or he could…
