This 2012 NLCS features the two best all-around catchers in the game in Buster Posey and Yadier Molina. For the Cards, Molina has been their rock at backstop for eight full seasons, catching the final out for two World Series champions (’06, ’11), winning four Fielding Bible awards (2007-2010) and […]

OK, maybe this post is a day late, but it’s tough when you’re a baseball nut in the Bay Area trying to sort through the madness. I lost myself in it—I blame Coco and Buster and the great fans. Coming from New York, I’ve seen some rabid fans, but this […]
David Freese, best known for perhaps the most clutch hitting performance in MLB history, was swinging Rawlings lumber on his run to the 2011 World Series MVP. Not only did he have the game-tying triple and the walk-off homerun in game 6, he set the record for RBI in a […]

Back for the second installment of the Best of What Pros Blare. These are the best walk-up/entrance songs in the league, as I see it. First installment out of three can be found here. Let’s get to it. R.A. Dickey I gotta just give the guy credit for originality. The irony […]

The clamoring simply became too much to bear; the people of WPW wanted Jason Heyward, so that is what the people get. J-Hey should be a candidate for comeback player of the year in 2012. After floundering in 2011, Heyward is currently flirting with a 30-20 season, needing 3 bombs […]
