Politics, News & Issues > Baseball The best trade in Pittsburgh Pirates history: 1 of 1
On November 18, 1998, Pirates GM Cam Bonifay traded reliever Ricardo Rincon to the Cleveland Indians for outfielder Brian Giles. Rincon had posted ERAs of 3.45 in 1997 and 2.91 in 1998 to garner the interest of Cleveland. Giles had played his 27-year-old season for the Indians in 1998, establishing himself as an above averag... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Sports Archives MLB: Predicting the 2007 American League all stars: 5 of 9
Here are my predictions for the 2007 American League All-Stars starters: Catcher - Joe Mauer - No one is even in his league at catcher in the AL. Victor Martinez has a strong bat, but horrendous defense. Mauer is an all-around great player. Hopefully he stays healthy long enough with that stress reaction to make it to the Al... More..

Using Mike Huckabee's reasons for farm subsidies, I will argue against them. 1. We must be able to feed ourselves as part of our national security. *While America prepares for the day when Mike Huckabee sees the U.S. unable to receive food from outside of its borders, consumers will be faced with higher food prices and taxes...

Seattle Mariners Rotation 1 Felix Hernandez: Keeps the ball on the ground. Had bad luck last season. He is an ace. 2 Jarrod Washburn: Control not bad. Doesn't strike out batters anymore. ERA will be over 4.00. 3 Jeff Weaver: Disappointing in both Anaheim and St. Louis last season. High BABIP in 2006, so expect ERA to come ba... More..
Sports & Recreation > Baseball History Remembering the 1997 Major League Baseball season: 3 of 4
Ten years ago, baseball fans were getting excited for the beginning of the 1997 season. The year before, the New York Yankees had won the World Series. This year would produce a much more unlikely champion. Along the way, there was a race for .400 and a one-man dominance of the batting leader board. Here is a look back at a ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Baseball MLB: What it's like to be a Pittsburgh Pirates fan: 9 of 11
What is it like to be a Pittsburgh Pirates fan? In one word: frustrating. They are currently challenging the Phillies record of 16 straight losing seasons. All the while, the Pirates front office has been blaming their "small market" but showing no aptitude for building a winner. In 2006, the Pirates hosted the All-Star game... More..

Chicago Cubs Rotation 1 Carlos Zambrano: Has been an ace since he was 22-years-old. Completely dominant. Cy Young contender. 2 Ted Lilly: Good for a low-4.00s ERA. Slight drop in his walk rate would bump his ERA below 4.00. 3 Rich Hill: Can dominate batters. Control will determine which side of 4.00 his ERA ends up on. 4 Jas... More..
