The Astros Are The Latest Championship Team Who Failed To Repeat
The Astros loss in Game 7 last night of the ALCS makes them the 23rd straight championship team who failed to repeat the following year and to me that sucks for baseball. A sport that has already tossed away all of its traditional core can’t even put together a dynasty anymore in a world that…
Why Has The Media Not Mentioned Ron Washington as a Possible Candidate for Mets Manager?
Of course, considering the makeup of most sports journalists, there’s one obvious answer. But let’s give them the benefit of the doubt.

While Mets fans eagerly anticipates new leadership, pundits seem stuck on Counsell and Counsell only. No mention of Ron Washington (2 WS appearances) or Wally Backman (who’s more…
Interview with New Mets President of Baseball Operations David Stearns
Not happy that they pretty much forced Buck Showalter to resign, but I hope that Stearns and co. don’t just listen to the media and hire Craig Counsell who is overrated in my book (guy hasn’t taken a team to the World series). Much rather they interview Ron Washington or Wally Backman or Robin Ventura…
