MLB Showdown

Posted on August 20, 2008. Filed under: Misc. | Tags: |

At The Sports Nation, we have just re-discovered the  greatest game of all time.  Somehow in casual conversation,  MLB Showdown came up.  Later that day I went into a cabinet and found a white box with all my cards in it.  That was the highlight of my week.
From trading for shiny cards to playing small [...]

AL East

We will be starting a series of predictions down the stretch of the MLB season.
This division is always fun to write about.
The Blue Jays and the Orioles haven’t had terrible seasons, but they don’t have a chance in hell to make a run. Sorry.
To be honest with everyone, I did not like the Bay [...]

Now perhaps the messiest of baseball’s six divisions, the National League West.
Until just recently, none of these teams were even above .500. The San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants are done. They aren’t showing any signs of gaining momentum. The offense for the Padres has been dormant to put it nicely, and the Giants seem [...]

Now we”ll look at the NL East.
I can’t even comment on the Nationals. What is there to say.
The Braves announced publicly that their season was over when they traded Mark Texeira to the Angels. They have too many injuries to contend anyway.
This division just has so much going on. You’ve got the Mets, who will [...]

AL Central

Our series of early August predictions makes its next stop in the American League Central.
The Cleveland Indians have been a huge disappointment this season, currently in last place and a weak 17-30 in divisional games, and with 24 games remaining against its Central rivals, Cleveland appears to be done. Not to mention they traded their [...]

Next in our series of predictions is the National League Central, which has turned into a three-horse race.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are in last place and just traded away Xavier Nady and Jason Bay, their top hitters. This team is clearly looking into the future rather then into the 2008 pennant race. The Cincinnati Reds have lost [...]

I don’t really know what to say here. In my opinion, the Angels are the best team in baseball, and they are running away with it. Plain and simple. They have the best closer in baseball, a deep rotation, and a solid lineup with a daunting middle: Garret Anderson, Torii Hunter, Vladimir Guerrero, and Mark [...]
