I Hate My Team and You Should Too
July 29, 2008
By: Md23Rewls
It has been nearly a month since I posted my baseball love connection article. The good vibes were just rolling in, man oh man, except for the Seattle Mariners, who I forgot existed. But I now know the Mariners do exist, and in honor of their unmemorable team of scrappy losers, they are going to lead off this list. Everybody should hate their team. What’s a love affair without a vase or two thrown out the window? I will order this list as I see fit.

All You Need is Love
July 1, 2008
By: Md23Rewls
This week marks the midway point of the baseball season, a season that has met mediocrity to a large degree. This is what it has come to. No team has more than forty-eight wins, and only five teams have fewer than thirty-five (three of those teams reside in the NL West). The vast majority of teams sit comfortably in the 35-42 win range. It’s a whole lotta vanilla, and it looks like there will be a whole lotta teams around 90-93 wins come the end of the season. So what’s a poor boy to do? Sing for a rock n’ roll band as Mick Jagger once sang so famously forty years ago? No, in this age of equality (mediocrity?) you must learn to love and hate all baseball teams equally. And I am here to help you do just that. I’ve come up with reasons to love every team. Coming next week: Reasons to hate them. But we’re all about positivity, so let’s start pouring on the love before we scald them with a burning hot poker.

After the Gold Rush
May 29, 2008
By: Md23Rewls
I write this article tired, bitter, and in need of food. Cheers. We have not spoken since I returned to the greater Boise area. I know, I know, it really really sucked not to hear from me. Seriously. You all wanted to hear about the storage room that I’m currently living in, and how I have my stereo set up on the ground. You want to hear about how Eagle, Idaho, has been receiving an inordinate number of thunderstorms as of late. You really do want to hear this stuff. But the Yankees suck, and I’ve gotta talk about them, rather than the dangers of not putting enough stamps on your envelopes and having to walk down to the post office and pay extra. So let’s talk Yankees, shall we?

Breaking Down Mojo
April 23,2008
By: Md23Rewls
I am not a fantasy sports guy. Let me get that out of the way up front. I think it’s somewhat lame and obsessive the way people end up caring more about their fake teams than their real ones (on occasion). If you own Manny Ramirez, you can’t seriously tell me that you hope he hits three home runs against the Yanks as long as New York wins. You are just messing with karma then. However, I have played on and off for the last few seasons. Normally I fall hopelessly behind or forget my team exists, but I have vowed for this year to be different, and so it shall be—that’s right, I am going to break down my fantasy baseball team for you. The name of my fantasy baseball team is Mojo. You are going to sit there, you are going to read my analysis, and you are going to tell me what an amazing team I have. You are not going to question my amazing roster, and I hope that you refrain from calling me an idiot, for your own sake. To start with, here were my five rules entering the draft.

Md23Rewls' Guide to Baseball
April 1, 2008
By: Md23Rewls
Opening day is upon us, and that means that it’s time to start honing our skills as fans. Crack a chair against the wall, knock over a table, throw dogs at goldfish, it’s that time of year again. It is never too early to panic. Bad things happen every single game, and as a diligent fan you must be prepared to deal with it. That’s where I come in. You may remember me from other memorable guides include those to Life, Fears, Parenting, and Proper Punctuation/Grammar. There are so many rules to this stuff, you really do need to be aware. Let’s begin with a few simple questions.

You'd Better Believe It: The Prediction Article
March 11, 2008
By: Md23Rewls
For the first time in over a month, I am supplying an article to the fine people of these Yankee sport entertainment reading forums, and in order to drum up support for aforementioned article, I am willing to go the extra mile. That’s right, a prize. Each response will merit the most popular household pet in the country. More friendly than a dog, cleaner than a cat, and just about as portable as a goldfish, for your time and effort in reading/responding to this article, you will receive...you’d better believe it...that’s right: A goat. The first ten people to respond to this article will get a free goat. Free goat, just for a comment. Curse me out, win a goat. Praise me, win a goat. Goats can be eaten, adored by children, eaten by adoring children, even brought to baseball games in select cities. So read this article and procure the majestic goat. NOTE: Free goat not necessarily free. Some limitations may apply. Goat availability based on number of goats in my vicinity. Zero goats currently in vicinity. The idea of a goat will have to suffice. Watch the Oakland A's or Pittsburgh Pirates, they are goats in the terms of competitive teams if you think about it. Visit a petting zoo.

Sizzle? Steak? I Want a Refund!
January 17, 2008
By: Md23Rewls
This off-season was supposed to belong to Alex Rodriguez and Johan Santana. The best hitter and pitcher available for a price. It was supposed to be an off-season with a million different things swirling around. Instead it has been dominated by the Mitchell Report, which is coming far too late, and has ended up causing more problems than solutions (although token solutions abound). George Mitchell is not a Free Agent. He is going to have no impact whatsoever on the upcoming season. The big name outed was Clemens, and he isn’t going to play. Really, who cares? Like everything so far, the report has been overblown.

New Year and All That Jazz
December 28, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
I'm back from a long hibernation from article writing. Hold your applause/tomatoes until the end. 2007 was a weird baseball year. It started with overbidding for a 4.40 ERA Japanese League pitcher by Boston, culminated with a championship by Boston, began to wind down with talk of Boston signing Alex Rodriguez (who they weren't going to get even if he hit actual Free Agency, rather than his little pseudo-Free Agency stint), really really began to wind down with talk of them trading for Johan Santana (they didn't), and then ended with a 400 page steroid report by a Boston suit. Like I said, a weird year. All of that Boston stuff that I spent a bunch of words writing out to start doesn't even raise the weirdest thing about this season, that the Colorado Rockies (!) were in the World Series. The NL was seriously bad. So after all of that, what do I want for 2008? I'm glad you asked, or did not ask but kept reading anyway. To quote my good friend Bob Dylan, “Let's go...”

The Jello of It: Sticking a Spoon into the Off-Season
November 8, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
Alex Rodriguez bores me, so I’m not going to talk about him. I know what you’re saying, and it’s gotta be something like “Thank you.” You are welcome. Another person who bores me is Scott Boras. Blah, I don’t see a reason to talk about him either. Another one down. Joe Torre’s pretty much been talked to death too, somehow. Good for the Dodgers to sign him, even if it weirds me out to see him in Dodger blue. Grady Little has that look of someone who might or might not have been abducted by aliens. I’ll take the sleepy grandfather over the insane dude on the street corner any day of the week. That’s pretty much it for that. In short, there’s stuff going on this off-season, fun stuff. I mean, I seriously want to go play in the ball pit at McDonald’s or something, that’s how excited I am.

Into the Wild: Suppositions on the Departure of Joe Torre
October 28, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
It is hard for the job of manager to seem permanent. Head coaches in all sports have next to no job security. It might be better in baseball, but few managers last more than five years. Joe Torre seemed permanent. Whether you liked his style or not, there was something about Torre that was different. It’s hard to think of another manager in this day and age that so much represented a team, seemed like the fabric of the team, simply put, someone that fit. When you think of baseball teams, managers aren’t the first thing that come to mind, but when you thought of the Yankees it wasn’t the Yankees managed by Joe Torre, it was Joe Torre’s Yankees. He presided over some of the greatest teams in the history of the franchise and the game. Regardless of how much or how little he had to do with those successes, Torre wasn’t just a manager. He was one of the faces of New York baseball.

The Off-Season of Ash: Where We Go from Here (Plus a Free Half-Finished Guide to the Playoffs)
October 11, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
Ash fell from the sky. Or will fall from the sky. Or may fall from the sky at any minute. That’s pretty much all that’s left of the Yankees these days. Ash baby, ash. It’s clogging the newspapers, choking up the radio waves, causing fans to go into spastic fits of ill-timed rage. Ash. Torre should be gone any day now, and when that happens, the ash will truly start to fall. That’s just the first coating too. Ash is like frosting, in that it coats things. Also like frosting, it tastes incredibly bitter and is not recommended to be eaten. Scratch that actually, but you get the point.

Taking a Bite Out of the Postseason Hamburger
September 25, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
Mercifully baseball has almost reached its postseason. I don’t think I could take many more Toronto tilts, Baltimore makes me want to vomit, Tampa Bay just bores me. It is a great great thing that there are only six more games in the regular season. At this point it is hard for me to really care about the outcome of these games. Oh I want them to win, but really, I just want them to get over with it already. You start itching in your boots to get walking already. Walking to the playoffs!

Just How Wrong was I?
August 23, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
Texas scored thirty runs. You know who saw that coming? Not me. No, the person who saw that coming was probably drunk or drugged or God only knows what because this is the first time it’s happened since 1900. For the record, my prediction of highest scoring game prior to the season was 17-14 between Arizona and San Diego. Count, and you will clearly see that the combined score of that (fictional) game does not match the combined score of the Rangers-Orioles tilt. This reminds me of all the times I have been wrong. I know you aren’t suppposed to look back at your early season predictions on August 23, but I’ve decided to cheat and take a peek at them. Strap yourself in, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Burning Down August: Answering Random Questions

Trade deadline come and gone. Hitting the deadening midst of August, you smack straight into that lull where there’s not a ton of stuff happening. It’s just baseball now, man. Here are some questions that need answering, and I’m here to do just that (for better or worse).

People Get Ready: It’s the Trade Deadline!
July 24, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
Last summer I was somewhere in Minnesota when the Yankees acquired Bobby Abreu from the Phillies. I remember crashing in our hotel room and turning on the TV, watching the scroll at the bottom of ESPN for what trades had gone down. Abreu’s trade had been talked up for a while, but to see that it had finally gone through was awesome. He was exactly what the Yankees needed at the time, and was the missing piece in an offense that was missing Sheffield and Matsui for most of the year.

Been Wading through the High Muddy Water (Shimmying through the Mountain Time Zone)
June 21, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
I’ve got a few different things to hop around to in this article, so if it seems to skip a little, that’s because it is. I’ve never been a huge fan of Interleague Play. It’s always struck me as a bit of a novelty act, a gimmick to boost ratings that doesn’t have any substance behind it. Some matchups are fun to see. Yankees-Mets, Angels-Dodgers, Giants-A’s. Good regional matchups that the fans in those areas like to see. I could do without them though. The whole thing has run its course and should probably be put to sleep nice and easily. That won’t happen any time soon, because Major League Baseball is one of the slowest sports to institute change (STILL doesn’t have instant replay). The ironic thing is that Interleague Play isn’t a tradition. It’s not like the somewhat naive idea behind keeping out replay, that it’s a human game. But Interleague Play is so relatively recent that it shouldn’t be something that we cling to. Just get rid of it already. Gimmicks are only fun for so long.

Hitting Fifth Gear While Stuck in Traffic
June 13, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
Looking at the standings still makes my eyes rust. That it has taken a seven game winning streak (and counting) to reach .500 is a bit troublesome. The Yankees remind me of a basketball blowout right now (the NBA Finals have sucked by the way, for all those of you who don’t care). When your team is down by twenty points, cutting it to 16 really looks good. But you’re still down by sixteen. It gives you hope to cut into the lead though. You start thinking about the long stretch there is to play, start thinking “Maybe they go cold and we hit a lot of shots.” Mainly, you start thinking about getting it down to ten, even eight or so by the fourth quarter. A lot of thinking.

Bringing it All Back Home
June 4, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
Sitting here in this cramped room with a mug of bad coffee, I realize something about these New York Yankees: There is nothing to write about them. Oh, there are stories, there are a million different ways I could write about Clemens or A-Rod or Cashman, but there’s really nothing beyond that. The team has been so disjointed that it has given me an extreme lack of material. The problem is that whenever you want to talk about a team, there is usually some underlying goal in the postseason, and it is obvious that the team is taking steps to get there. With the Yankees, we all know that they want to get there, but that isn’t showing in the results at all. And results are all that really matter. That’s why there are many people who say Torre should go, and they have a legit point. The Yankees haven’t gotten it done so far this year, they haven’t gotten it done in six years.

Songs for a Season: A Bunch of Random Things Thrown Together for You to Read
May 25, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
Baseball and music have always been tied together. Beyond the multitude of butchered renditions of “Take Me Out to the Ballpark” you have other such musical trivialities as irritating stadium music, irritating batter walk-up themes, and irritating pitcher entrance music. But beyond all the minutia of that stuff, there is the music of baseball. And yes, it is exactly as corny as I make it sound. The crack of the bat, the slide into second base, the obscenity-laden manager tirades. Music. Here are some songs for this season. Randomness abounds. Enjoy:

There's Something in the Air: FULL FLEDGED PANIC!
May 15, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
The sky is falling. Or so I hear anyway. As of May 15, 2007, the Yankees are closer to last place than they are to first within their division. There are a lot of dire numbers that can be thrown around. Leads blown, pitching gems wasted, horrible defense, and a lack of any consistency to the season. All of which add up to a sluggish 17-19 start. There’s simply not a lot to be happy about. The news of Roger Clemens’ signing with the Yankees about a week ago brought a lot of buoyed spirit, which was quickly dashed by a rather baffling series loss to the Seattle Mariners, who threw some of their worst starters at the Yankees and almost dared them not to win. And the Yanks took the dare. What good does Clemens do if the team’s nine games out of first? Besides keep the Yanks in the news, he still adds something that the team doesn’t really have right now in the starting rotation. He gives them a name, and with him comes confidence. Forget the good performances he should turn in, the most important thing he might be bringing is some sense of stability.

The Dark Oppressive Shadows of April
April 30, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
April ended for the Yankees. Thank God for small favors. The team began the month up and down, found some semblance of balance in the middle, and then crashed and burned the final week and change. During that span of time, the Yankees’ bullpen plummetted from one of the best in the majors, as it was looking the first few weeks, into a taxed, stressed, bundle of uncertainty. April ended with Mariano Rivera recording more blown saves than actual saves. It took the Yankees until April 28 to record their first save, a staggering amount of time. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Jonathan Papelbon of the Red Sox took that long to give up his second HIT (a double by Giambi). It isn’t that the Yankees haven’t been putting runs up. It’s that those runs are seemingly useless when they’re being given right back the next inning. That blown 6-2 eighth inning lead in the first game of the Fenway series was indicative of what the Yankees would do the next 9 games.

Yankees vs. Red Sox: Round 1
April 19, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
Apologies to Cubs/Cardinals or Giants/Dodgers, the best series in baseball resumes on Friday night in Fenway Park. All three games between the Yankees and Red Sox will be nationally televised on either ESPN or FOX. For the rest of the country, these two teams are vastly overhyped, bogged down in a swirl of false media importance. But the reason that New York/Boston gets the attention to begin with is that you will not find higher drama in baseball. It's a combination of things: The fact that these two teams are both among the top five in baseball, that there is identifiable star power in spades, that the fanbases of both teams make little games in April somehow matter. All of that wouldn’t mean jack if it weren’t for the one overriding factor, that being that the games are great. The energy level is unbelievable, and even in games that turn into blowouts it seems that there is that extra “oomph” factor.

All Over the Map
April 8, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
It’s easy to make snap judgements at the beginning of the season. The inevitable “small sample size” is great at fooling people. That doesn’t mean that you can’t make assessments until June. It just means that the conclusions you draw from these early games are probably going to end up changing. This is particularly true when it comes to an aging team like the Yankees. The players tend to take a little bit more time rounding into shape, particularly older starters. The weather certainly hasn’t been helping. A rainout of the second game of the season put the Yankees in an odd situation. Other teams are dealing with snow and 20 degree wind chill. While weather isn’t an excuse for poor play, it’s still a factor. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t make a few observations on this Yankee team early on.

Time to roll out the prediction carpet. The season starts in a few days, and looks to be a wide open race. St. Louis is extremely weak for a returning champ. It’ll be interesting to see how the Tigers back up their World Series appearance this season. Here are some random, mostly unconnected predictions, realistic and otherwise:

Last Comments on Alex Rodriguez
March 23, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
I hope that this really is the last A-Rod article that I’ll have to write that has nothing to do with what he is doing on the field. I hope it’s the last one that deals with the weird, quirky world that is Planet Alex. Probably won't be, but I can hope. It seems everybody has an opinion on Alex Rodriguez these days. It’s the topic that won’t die, even when there isn’t a particularly new angle to it. It isn’t just the media driving the issue, although blaming the media is the easy way to look at it. The bottom line is that there’s SOMETHING about the guy that fascinates everyone. It’s the fans, it’s the agents, the GM’s, the teammates. It’s everybody. He’s one of the most fascinating superstars in sports, and the reasons for it are even more complicated than that.

Regardless of a fan’s loyalty to their team, there are certain players around the league that you find yourself tuning into. You might have no interest in the team they play for, you might even hate the team they play for, but there is no denying their overall charisma and appeal. They are the players that make the game fun to watch. This list is not the ten BEST players or the ten most talented players, it is the players who make you go ‘Whoa’:

Things to Look for in Spring Training
February 25, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
Spring training games can be the ultimate smoke-mirror combination. The numbers put up mean next to nothing, because it is not a competitive venue. Pitchers come in working on certain things. In the same vain, the pitches are FAR from at their peak. Likewise, batters come in working on timing. That being said, here are some things to look for this spring.

The Beauty of Baseball
February 14, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
There is something different about baseball’s Spring Training than the preseasons of all other sports. Perhaps it is the fact that it shines a light out of the tunnel in winter, gives a respite from the black middle months of basketball, and gets us ready for the temperatures to rise and the balls to fly. Unlike with the NFL preseason, which runs in the dead heat of August, or the NBA’s, which runs in the nothing of September and October, baseball falls at the perfect time of the year, when most people are seriously burned out on sports or life in general. The Super Bowl is over and done with, and besides March Madness, there is nothing to look forward to for months. Spring Training gives us back our box scores.

Bottom Feeders Rising
February 2, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
The Detroit Tigers’ World Series run came out of the blue, and set up a formula of sorts for other bad teams to attempt to follow. A few flamethrowers in the bullpen, a rookie starter who can notch it at 100 mph, backed by a solid, if not spectacular set of secondary pitchers. Throw in a backloaded offense that did nothing great, and likewise did nothing horrible, and you are left with your American League World Series representative. Obviously, this formula is hard to simply “come up with.” Detroit had to have many things roll their way, particularly in the playoffs, where the Yankees bats disappeared, Kenny Rogers turned into Bob Gibson-lite for a few weeks, and they faced one of the worst NL representatives ever in the Series. Only problem was that they didn’t finish the job. That being said, here are a few questionable teams who might be primed for a Detroit-ish run in the next few years, and some bad teams that are bound to stay that way.

Fantasy Baseball vs. Major League Baseball
January 24, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
Come February and March, a plague will hit the country. The plague of fantasy baseball drafts. At the same time that teams are prepping for their regular seasons, fantasy owners will be huddling over tip sheets with gallons of coffee, certain that they have the company league under their thumb. New strategies will rise and fall in three hours or less, and curses will be uttered under the breath of countless owners who lost out on Johan Santana or David Ortiz. And all the while, Spring Training will be well underway. Some people actually prefer fantasy baseball to following a real team. Fantasy baseball, just like major league baseball, has its pros and cons. We will run through the arguments for and against fantasy baseball before issuing the ultimate verdict: Fantasy or reality?

Keys to the Empire: Ten Pieces that Could Make or Break the Yankees Season

With the inevitability of injuries, here are the top ten possible impact players (either on the Yankees’ major league roster or in the minor leagues) who have a chance to swing the team one way or another. I tried to exclude starting position players for the most part, to focus on the lesser pieces, though some starters do make their way into the analysis.

Baseball Biases: Mind Games, the Media, and More
January 7, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
At one point or another, we all get the feeling. Sometimes it’s for the umpires, sometimes it’s for the broadcasting team, maybe even for the commissioner himself. It’s enough to make us splinter drawers or punch the mini-fridge next to us, enough to make us yell obscenity and mute the television. Yes, it's the feeling that somebody out there really, really hates your team. Be it on a borderline strike call or an obscene amount of praise heaped upon the opposition, it grates on the nerves like nothing else. But as always, there's a difference between perception and reality, and before smashing another priceless family heirloom, it might be necessary to take a deep breath and ask yourself, "Is that really what's going on?"

New Year in the AL East: Ranking the Contenders
January 1, 2007
By: Md23Rewls
The American League East is always one of the more interesting races, if only because it contains both Boston and New York. It is certainly the most media hyped division. While the AL Central is the deeper division, with the Tigers, White Sox, Twins, and the Indians all expected to be in the race this season, the AL East is now a legitimate three team competition. Toronto's moves last year didn't net them a playoff spot, but they showed improvement and finished second. Boston's late season collapse was horrendous, and gave them their first third place finish in recent memory. I expect them to bounce back after their off year. What follows is a breakdown of the three team's bullpens, offenses, and starting rotations, along with a look at some of the holes that still need to be filled before the season starts.

Old Soldiers: Andy Pettitte and the Lurking Shadow of Roger Clemens
December 22, 2006
By: Md23Rewls
A rotation including Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, Andy Pettitte, and Mike Mussina is loaded with formidable names. It would have been a pretty formidable rotation too, back in, say...the year 2000. The Yankees have not signed Clemens (as of yet), but his name has come up recently in regards to a destination of either New York or Boston. The other three pitchers are running on name power and pitching savvy, which may or may not be enough to get them through a season without a complete and utter collapse.

DISCLAIMER: The following article was written prior to the signing of Andy Pettitte.
Nutshelling the Offseason
December 8, 2006
By: Md23Rewls
Early in the off-season, several teams have already been marked as spenders. The Cubs, in a fashion that is only befitting to the Cubs, managed to re-sign Aramis Ramirez (good move), overpay for Alfonso Soriano (could have been a solid move, but turned to a bad move, thanks to a head scratching eight year deal), and add Ted Lilly (the definition of an average move). Another major player in the free agent market is Boston. After bludgeoning the rest of the baseball world over the head with a $50 million dollar posting fee to gain the rights of Matsuzaka, they subsequently signed J.D. Drew and Julio Lugo. Neither of the deals could really be considered bad, although five years for an injury prone player like Drew is a stretch. Lugo was the best shortstop on the free agent market, which is not saying much. Still, his bat isn’t horrible, just not particularly standout either. And finally there are the Dodgers, who signed perhaps the best free agent pitcher on the market in Jason Schmidt.

(Just Like) Starting Over
November 30, 2006
By: Md23Rewls
It is hard to admit. As a Yankees fan it is hard to admit, but...Manny Ramirez’s swing is a thing of beauty. Beyond all of the things to hate about the guy, and there are so many, it is impossible to deny just how fluid and perfect that swing is. It’s not like his teammate David Ortiz’s, seemingly trying to make the ball go 5,000 feet. With Manny, it looks pure and effortless. When I hear that he has homered, the first thing I do is shout an obscenity at the ceiling. After that though, I wait for the highlight, because man, can that guy hit. What would make that swing all the more beautiful is if he were doing it in a different uniform, in a different league. Ah, now THAT would really be a sight to behold. Out of the AL East. Out of the AL altogether.
