He has a track record that indicates that he's capable of better performance, however, which is more than can be said for Vidal Nuno. Nuno is a slop-throwing LHP from Indy leagues; Brandon McCarthy has been an ML pitcher for almost a decade now, albeit with a spate of injuries. When Nuno goes...

Well, I mean, if you think I'm reading all of that and reacting, then you're mistaken. That would be stupid and pointless. It's not much of a move, but marginal upgrades can net an extra win here or there that would not be received otherwise, and think about how jam-packed this AL East and AL...

Remember how Red Sox fans were busy chanting "P-E-D-S" in the ALCS after Jhonny Peralta got a run-scoring hit? Bunch of hyprocrites, those fans and that organization. It's unreal how they are still like this after all their success in this century.

This whole charade would really be much more enjoyable if they didn't have a World Series title to show for it, as far as I'm concerned. Hard to enjoy schadenfreude when the team is the defending World Series champion. Their true talent is somewhere between 2013 and 2014. If Jim Leyland wasn't...

with that in mind, fuck Peter Gammons for helping derail the 2004 trade-to-be, because that would've probably been enough to see that team win a World Series; certainly wouldn't have blown 3-0 in that ALCS (not that it's really an excuse regardless, but still...).

I know that many people were hoping this would be the case with ARod last year, and the big difference is that ARod is a dick and Sabathia isn't, but, regardless of the case, well, at the risk of speaking the obvious - you only get one career in MLB. Until science finds a way to reverse aging...

Whatever the unnecessary bickering is about, there is something that can be said about Brandon McCarthy having a pretty solid 2012 campaign in Oakland prior to Erick Aybar breaking his skull. Will he be all that great? Nah, unlikely. Will he be better than Vidal Nuno? Would be hard not to be...
