Mike Gallego will throw to Yoenis Cespedes at the home run derby. Remember Bobby Abreu? He dominated the Home Run Derby and disappeared forever afterward. Well, not really, but it drained him real bad. That’s my fear with Yoenis Cespedes at the home run derby this year. I know he’s going to put on a […]

#SHAME!!! My gripe with Josh Donaldson and Grant Balfour not making the All-Star team
These two should be on the All-Star team. The Oakland Athletics are one of three American League teams with 50 wins. They hold the fifth best record in baseball right now.

That dunk contest could have been so much better
So that dunk contest was hard to watch. The final dunks were decent but everything else was just hard to watch. What is the solution? How can we make this thing better? Obviously the problem is the lack of star power. I didn’t even know who was in this dunk contest until I looked it […]
Wishing the dunk contest would be exciting again
You know what’s sad? I don’t even know who’s in this year’s dunk contest. I should know, but I don’t. The slam dunk contest has now become so boring that it just doesn’t excite me anymore. Looking at the dunks of years past, I am reminded about the creativity in the dunks. There was a […]
