In honor of Alex Rodriguez and his breaking of an unwritten rule while playing against the Oakland A's. The following is a list of baseball's unwritten rules and the decision of whether they're worth keeping or whether they really aren't that big of a deal. As for the one that ARod broke, I think we can all agree he knew exactly what he was doing and playing stupid afterwards was even more ...

The Rangers are in an absolute free fall, the Texas sky is falling and somewhere in the Dallas/Ft Worth Metroplex, Chicken Little is running around screaming about it. Well, ok, it's not really that bad just yet but Chicken Little may as well be Ranger fans because they certainly believe the sky is falling down on top of The Ballpark at Arlington. They want Ron Washington fired as quickly as possible, the ...

With the 2010 season less than two weeks old, this seems kind of premature, well, unless you're me than you're chomping at the bit to put a list together like this. There are several managers that should be on this list, maybe more than 10 but we'll stick to 10 and see where that leads us. The managers on this list either had it coming or just sucked enough this year ...

Over the last several months, all the trade talk has centered around San Diego Padres' first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. He was the center of a few rumored big deals before the end of 2009 especially during the winter meetings. But there is one player the Padres may need to part ways with sooner than the trade deadline in July and that's 6'10" right hander Chris Young, the team's supposed ace of ...

If you ask any San Diego Padre fan on the streets of San Diego, most would tell you they don't want to see the last of their fan favorites leave their city. They don't want the team to trade an All-Star, their leading offensive player, and a Gold Glove first baseman. But, the San Diego Padres may not have much of a choice but to do just that, especially if that aforementioned ...

The San Diego Padres have seemingly been the joke of the NL West. Even in the years they ended the season as the Western Division champions, there were still people who didn't take the Padres or the NL West seriously. Some even said the Padres shouldn't be allowed in the playoffs due to how weak the division was. But in 2010, all that has changed. The entire division, from top to bottom, ...

Just when the Rangers thought they were in the clear after their manager, Ron Washington, apologized to fans and his players for testing positive for cocaine over the summer of 2009. Well, today new news was leaked to the Dallas media that Washington used amphetamines and pot as his 10-year career as a player. The Fan, 105.3 FM in Dallas, reported that Washington had told a reporter of this but that ...

The Major League Baseball season is almost here, we're just a few weeks shy from the regular season getting underway and a new race to see who will become the next World Series champion. That same race will include the Texas Rangers with a very much improved team that could not only challenge for the AL West crown but could be a thorn in the side of some AL team in ...

Before we get to Mr. Scruggs' comments during his "Newy and Richie" show on 105.3 FM in Dallas this morning, let me start by saying that I'm a big fan of Newy's and a loyal listener to his show. That being said, I grew up as a San Diego Padre fan and lived in Southern California for almost eight years of my life. I spent a lot of Sunday afternoons at ...
