Ah, baseball optimism. It springs eternal in those endless, freezing winter months. Here were my prognostications regarding the 2008 Yankees, surely bound for glory, before cruel reality could intervene. Hindsight wisdom located within parenthesis. Special props to Fire Joe Morgan, the forerunners of this journalistic style... I guess. Whatever. (1258 words in story) Full Story By mfitz, Section Other Sports

Not sure if I was ever meant to play baseball, but, for a time, if felt perfectly natural. I sometimes wonder if we are assigned dreams before birth, impossible missions never meant for completion, just so we could learn something from the failure.

Picture this. You're twenty three years old, a third round draft pick, skipped school to grab that bonus, nothing to fall back on. This competition is fierce, and you've been left behind, lapped in fact. In an idyllic youth, a minor celebrity in a small town, you were the special one. Gifted. Bigger, stronger, faster, beloved by all, took pride in the popularity, destined for greatness. (1260 words in story) Full Story By YankTank, Section MLB
"How did you go bankrupt?" Thank you, Queens. Thank you for doing the impossible. Thank you for flooding the headlines and monopolizing the morning news. Thank you for securing your own special spot in history and diluting ours. Thank for liberating us from the stigma that has been emblazoned on our psyches since October 21, 2004.
And mostly, thank you for finally disencumbering us from the toxic ownership of "the biggest collapse in Major League Baseball history." (9 comments, 2336 words in story) Full Story By Peraka, Section MLB

So, if we religiously apply this seemingly common knowledge to our fantasy teams, why can't we apply these principles when coordinating other areas of life? Like...our friends.

For Coppin State's baseball team, the NCAA tournament was never the goal. After an offseason that featured its head coach resigning mid-summer to pursue a different career and all but three players quitting because of an alleged letter that Guy Robertson, the resigned coach, sent to convince the players to quit too, to an athletic budget that makes it a burden to purchase baseballs, the NCAA tournament was more than that clichéd dream from occurring. And no, they didn't make the tournament, because you would have heard the story by now if they had. (1 comment, 1337 words in story) Full Story By Vtknowitall, Section MLB
Remember that old theory that as long as Bud Selig was Commissioner then the Brewers would be cellar dwellers? Throw it out. Built like the cast of a smash hit television show, the Brewers have assembled a team of guys who are establishing their identities with this team, playing the role they were born to fill.
