Partying in Rickettsville: A Cardinals – Cubs series preview

(Author's note: For whatever reason, I thought this series was at Wrigley, and I wrote this preview accordingly. Take the title, for instance. I am a fool.

6.11.2018 Recap – Cards win as Flaherty dazzles, Martinez, Marcell & Gyorko Mash

The Padres have eight other baseball men playing tonight, batting in a certain order. Their names, from my memory, are: Janky Hoss Hunter Renfroe Franmil Spanky Xian Shorty (Freddy) Raffy The Cardinals also…

The sordid, shocking, cautionary recent history of the San Diego Padres

In advance of our first run at the Friars, John J. Fleming wrote a great piece about a nondescript 50-year-old team in one of the most beautiful climates on earth. I'm here to tell you the rest of the story. John's absolutely right when he concludes: For half a century, the Padres have, for the…

Evaluating the NL Central at the season’s one-third marker

Last weekend, most teams around Major League Baseball played the 54th game of their season, marking the one-third point of the year. It's easy to look at standings this early in the season and talk about "slow starts" or "small sample sizes," but the fact of the matter is, we're pretty much at the point…

A series preview: The Miami Marlins, an Art Deco tragedy

This gets said a lot but I'm saying it again: It's not easy being a Miami Marlins fan. They've endured real loss, horrible owners, and the exodus of nearly every young and exciting player. It's not easy finding a Marlins fan either. On episode 1,148 of the great Effectively Wild podcast, hosts Ben Lindbergh and…
