The Team of the 2010s Rankings: Part 5

Twenty-eight teams have been listed and analyzed as candidates for Team of the 2010s. And now, two teams remain (if this is your first time checking out the series, you may want to catch up before you continue forward, though that's really up to you--here are Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4).…

The Team of the 2010s Rankings: Part 4

Six teams remain to be listed in the rankings of the greatest teams of the 2010s, and for the first time, every team listed below is one that I consider to be a legitimate contender for the crown. All have some compelling argument to be the decade's best team, though since there is a Part…

The Team of the 2010s Rankings: Part 3

After two days of running through a bunch of teams who, at best, had their moments of glory in the 2010s, Part 3 of The Team of the 2010s Rankings deals with fringe contenders for the crown and teams that, even if they never quite reached the upper echelons of the sport, avoided the devastating…

The Team of the 2010s Rankings: Part 2

Yesterday, in Part 1 of the rankings of the greatest baseball franchises of the 2010s, we delved into some pretty spotty franchises, though near the end, we got into franchises that had their moments. And that's largely what Part 2 is as well--franchises that certainly were not the paragon of success in the decade but…

The Team of the 2010s Rankings: Part 1

In August, with a month and a half remaining in the MLB regular season and with two and a half months remaining until the final World Series champion of the 2010s was crowned, I decided to publish a list of the greatest teams of the decade so far. And now, my "so far" includes the…

The Houston Astros don’t get to have this both ways

Baseball is, first and foremost, a people-pleasing business. There is no inherent value in the ability to hit a baseball hard or throw a baseball fast; these are skills which are appreciated because they allow people, namely the fans of participating teams, to feel happy. And the Houston Astros have spent the last week making…

A St. Louis Cardinals fan guide to the 2019 World Series

Some people don't watch baseball after the St. Louis Cardinals are eliminated from championship contention. That's fine. You're allowed. I am not one of those people, and many of you reading this are not one of those people. But after you spend an entire season being almost singularly devoted to one specific baseball team, it…
