Baseball uniforms sure have changed over the years. From the flannel material to cotton to polyester, baseball players have adorned numerous types of fabric for the sake of team unity. But it is not just the uniforms themselves that dictate a player's appearance. Players have gone to many lengths to alter their look on the field, adding their own personal twist to their daily gameday attire. Over ...

Brian Sabean has done some good things and he's done some bad things, but one thing is for sure: He's always done controversial things. Come on, the guy's first move was to ship off legendary Matt Williams in a trade that (luckily) brought in Jeff Kent! Recently, he shipped off Fred Lewis (who is now tearing up the American League) and received nothing in return. In Andrew Benning's recent article ...

Yes, yes they should.  That's the answer to the headline.  If you got it right, good for you.   If you are actually dumb enough to have disagreed with me, just stop reading now because I don't want have to read the stupid comments you are no doubt already formulating in your head as you skim the article.

It always hurts to see a batter struggling to hit at the plate. It is always annoying to see a batter swing at pitches they have no business swinging at. It is just as annoying for a hitter's average to drop 100 points in a season. These are the hitters who just cannot catch a break this season. They've hit in the past, but suddenly cannot find the ball. Some are ...

The Mets just can’t seem to figure out the Nationals, as the Metropolitans went to Washington to get beat 5-3 despite a solid performance by starter R.A. Dickey and Angel Pagan’s inside-the-park home run and triple play. The Mets jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning thanks to Pagan's homer, but two runs were quickly given back in the bottom of the inning. The Mets tied the game in ...

When you play in a two-catcher league, finding a suitable replacement should there be an injury (or lack of playing time) occur is a difficult feat.  Sometimes you get lucky, stumbling upon a Miguel Montero, but that is rarely the case. If you play in a two-catcher format, it’s likely that Carlos Santana and Buster Posey are already stashed away, owners anxiously awaiting their arrival.  Chris Iannetta is also likely owned, ...

  Wrigleyville has seen Cubs come and go for years. The story of the Chicago Cubs dates back to the 1870's. The Cubs won 11 of their 16 pennants before 1920. Unless you are over 100 years old you can not remember a Chicago Cubs world championship. Since there halcyon days, the Cubs have given Chicago and Cubs fans everywhere, heartbreak and very few triumphs. The anatomy of a Cubs fan is different then any ...

Welcome to Tribe Talk, where Bleacher Report's Tribe fans weigh in on the ups and downs of the Indians each week throughout the season.   This week, we wonder if we should buy what the Indians are selling based on last week's successful run, discuss the possibility of Jake Westbrook being moved, and contemplate how much an off-day is really worth.   I would like to thank this week's participants Dale Thomas and Jon ...

Last week, we posted a challenge to JoeSportsFan.com readers to see who could come up with the best “untrue fun fact,” for this vintage Doug Jones card.   After a robust response from our dependable audience, our panel voted and determined the top two submissions, both of which will not only get the satisfaction of knowing their entry is worthy of the Worthless Card Collection, but will also get a copy of Cardboard ...
