Whacky Baseball Reporter & Kirby Cricket

2008-08-15T23:53:00.000-07:00

Hello, this is Wacky Wilbur Whiffleballer with the latest Major League Baseball news. Today, I had the pleasure of talking to baseball manager Kirby Cricket of the Yardley PA. Cricketteers (Nicknamed "The Green Grassers"), who has recently launched a complaint to baseball commissioner Bud Selig about the death of ants on the average playing field. According to Kirby there are approximately 47

Pessimism, optimism and the Mets

2008-08-12T21:24:00.000-07:00

Pessimism, optimism and the Mets.One need not look too far to see the delicate boundaries of pessimism and optimism. Just look at the New York Mets and you'll see the almost neutral plane for which to entertain thoughts and behavior patterns towards a presumptive view or for a better word, attitude. You see, the Mets of last season were quite optimistic for most of the 2007 baseball season. That

Stick a fork in the Yankees. They are done.

2008-08-11T02:41:00.000-07:00

Stick a fork in the Yankees. Because they are done. Finito. There's always next year. The reason I say this is obvious and you baseball and Yankees fans know it. The Yankees are weak. Weak at starting pitching, weak at relief pitching, weak in the middle of their lineup, weak on the bench. I'd say they are even weak at the general manager and owner positions, but that's another post altogether.

New online shopping store

2008-08-09T22:45:00.000-07:00

Introducing a new Online Shopping Store site featuring a scroll style way of shopping online shopping stores. It's called Scrollmart.com and is worth checking out. It even has music playing in the background while you shop. I recommend it.Back to baseball. I'm getting sick and tired of all of the scoreboard hawks out there. All you get when you watch the Mets, Phillies or Yankees are announcers

Baseball conflicts with seperation of church and state

2008-08-08T22:55:00.000-07:00

Baseball conflicts with separation of church and state. How dare Major League Baseball impose religion on our democratic nation? Why are teams named angels or padres? Why should they allow people to sing God Bless America in the seventh inning? Why can't they schedule games at the three o'clock hour on Good Friday? Why doesn't baseball sensor players in interviews, preventing them from revealing

Writing is on the wall for Yankees, Mets owners

2008-08-07T01:19:00.000-07:00

It's clear. The writing is on the wall for the owners of the Yankees and Mets. Their general managers must go. After 7 seasons, Brian Cashman has failed to see any player he ever acquired win a a world series ring. Omar Minaya has completely failed as the Mets general manager. Both teams appear dead in their quests for post season play in 2008. That's right. I'm going to beat them all and render

Baseball Prophecy: Beware the ad sponsored uniforms

2008-08-05T03:41:00.000-07:00

Baseball Prophecy: Beware the ad sponsored uniformsIn this age of marketing and advertising in a capitalistic world, don't be surprised if you see your beloved game of baseball take on the look of nascar racing. Don't be surprised if you eventually see your Alex Rodriguez displaying sponser patches on his uniform. Perhaps you'll see Viagra on his tush or Nike on his shoes, or worse yet, the aflac

140 Million Dollars? What a Bust!

2008-08-03T13:07:00.000-07:00

The Mets thus far have wasted 140 million dollars on a psuedo ace pitcher. Johan Santana, who nets around 23 million dollars a year, fails time and time again to finish a ballgame. Unlike C.C. Sabathia, who is single handedly carrying the Milwaukee Brewers to the post season with several complete game performances, Santana can only last 6 or 7 innings per outing. The Mets bullpen is weak and

The Yankees do not have enough

2008-08-02T13:18:00.000-07:00

The Yankees just do not have enough talent to compete for a World Championship. This is being demonstrated on the field on a daily basis. The Los Angeles Angels are teaching the Yankees how to play the game and showing that they have more poise, more balance, better clutch hitting and better pitching than the Yankees. And they are not alone. The Red Sox are also better than the Yankees and will

Yankees, Dodgers conspire against Red Sox

2008-08-01T00:13:00.000-07:00

The Yankees and Dodgers have just pulled off a major conspiracy against the defending World Series Champion Boston Red Sox.That's right. I said it. Joe Torre and the Yankees are still on very good terms, as he convinced Dodgers management to go after Manny Ramirez of the Boston Red Sox. For old times sake and for the sake of his great relationship with the New York Yankees, Joe Torre and Brian
