Kay and O’Neill: Boring and Lifeless Baseball Announcers

Sometimes, the only baseball on television involves the New York Yankees. When the Yankees are on MLB Network, they always use the Yankees broadcast. You would think that once in a while, the network would choose the other team’s feed – but nope, every damn time it’s Michael Kay and Paul O'Neill.

There are three acceptable ways to watch when this unfortunate event happens: 


1: mute the TV
2: See #1
3: all of the above

Cavan Biggio – Running Short of Professional Time

Astros Make Major Mistake

The Astros July 30 trade will turn out to be one of the biggest mistakes in recent memory. GM Dana Brown dealt Joey Loperfido, Jake Bloss, and Will Wagner to the Toronto Blue Jays for pitcher Yusei Kikuchi. This deal looked bad from the start and it’s only going to get worse as time goes on. The worst part of the trade for Houston was giving up Wagner (Astros #13 prospect). 

This trade is going to end up biting Dana Brown where it hurts.

Bob Kendrick Should Be Commissioner of Baseball

It is long past time that Major League Baseball made a significant change that would alter the course of the sport for the better. MLB owners should name Bob Kendrick as Commissioner. Kendrick is President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, a well-respected man, and a tireless ambassador for the sport of baseball. He would be an exceptional choice to lead MLB into the future.

Grow Up, Bryce Harper

Bryce Harper is 30 years old – in calendar years. In mental years, his age is substantially lower. The Phillies player proved his immaturity yet again on May 14 when he charged the Rockies dugout, apparently looking for a fight.
