Nice to see Shaker grad Jeff Hoffman pitching a clean inning to help the Phillies take Game two of the NLCS against Arizona on Tuesday in Philadelphia.
Sure, it's been nearly 20 years since the 2004 ALCS, but David Ortiz was still able to inflict a bit more pain on Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Yankees' fans.
The New York Mets have had more than their fair share of dysfunctional general managers throughout the years. From Joe McDonald allowing "The Franchise" Tom Seaver to be traded in 1977 to hiring Jared Porter, in between his inappropriate text messages to reporters, the Mets GM position has been anything but "Amazin'."
Sportscasting Hall of Famer, Bob Costas is a proud alum of Syracuse University and frequents the area when his schedule allows. This particular trip is one that he and a friend won't soon forget.

Over the past decade, the development of the daily line-up card, more importantly who's on it and where, has become more of an organizational decision, rather than one that sits solely with the team's manager. For a grizzled veteran skipper, like Buck Showalter, that has been a dooming change.

Brooks Robinson was considered one of the greatest third baseman to have ever played the game of baseball. The Arkansas native became a first ballot Hall of Famer in 1983 and never stopped coming to Cooperstown.
