Super Santana Tuesday

Posted on January 30, 2026 by davidbloom

What a day for the N.Y. Mets, as they finally reached an agreement with the Twinkees to acquire southpaw Johan Santana. I thought I would do a “best of” from the blogosphere about the deal. One thought, before I go around the web. Let’s say the Mets still had lefty Scott Kazmir, they probably [...]

Sleepless in Seattle for a Kingdome like deal

Posted on January 29, 2026 by davidbloom

Its been [...]

Where have you gone Joe Charboneau?

Posted on January 27, 2026 by davidbloom

This is not the Class of 96, nor is this an episode of Freaks and Geeks. We hope the players on this list will have a longer shelf life than those short lived but well known television series. Every year we talk about potential and prospecting as far as who will be [...]

Upward Spiral for Hanley Ramirez?

Posted on January 23, 2026 by davidbloom

The Mets SS Jose Reyes in his young career has evolved into highly coveted player because of his ability to get on base, score a bunch of runs, a .300 batting average, home run ability, and his bread and butter the stolen bases. It was partway through last season, I made the statement calling [...]

Clemens Legacy On the Line

Posted on January 20, 2026 by davidbloom

I want to believe the guy. I took his interview with Mike Wallace as a bunch of softball questions. Either NcNamee is lying, or Clemens is. The thing about the Clemens interview is that some things did seem odd. One, saying he knew nothing about what was to be released in the Mitchell report. If [...]

WonderBoy 2008

Posted on January 20, 2026 by davidbloom

In being the first overall pick in the major league draft over 10 years ago, Josh Hamilton was pegged to be the cog that the Tampa Bay Rays hoped to build their organization around. His life went in turmoil due to a serious drug problem that got him kicked out of baseball and a [...]
