Americans don’t have labor consciousness. You might say, “what on earth does this have to do with anything baseball related?,” but luckily, we’re talking about baseball labor. One of the striking aspects of the public response to the Ryan Braun decision — besides the willingness… [More]
75 days. About 10 weeks. Over two months. That’s how long Ryan Braun has had to deal with being labeled a cheater without being able to share his side of the story. Today, Ryan Braun became the first Major League player to ever have a… [More]
Juan Francisco hit one of the longest home runs I’ve ever seen at Great American Ballpark in Tuesday night’s game against the Chicago Cubs. It was majestic. It was mammoth. It was a moonshot. Insert your own adjective beginning with M here, at least as… [More]

Just as quickly as the pitching depth problem was addressed with the aaddition of Sergio Mitre, a problem of outfield depth was created with the departure of Chris Dickerson. Although it looked as if the Brewers were going to go with Brandon Boggs and Jeremy… [More]
