It was a great Game 3, and I have plenty of thoughts. Hit them up after the jump.
At 45 years old, Jaime Moyer pitched a hell of a game for his hometown Phillies in Game 3 last night. His best moment came in the seventh inning, when he made a spectacular diving catch/scoop to get Carl Crawford out at first base. In the play, Moyer scooped the ball with his glove and the...

In Game One, we got the “Balk” controversy that I still have not seen the proper replay angles on to decide for myself if the call was correct. My gut tells me Hamels did not balk, and with a lack of evidence to the contrary, I am going to side with Blue on that one. Game Two’s controversial call after the jump.
In the second inning of last night’s Game Two of the World Series,...

Atlanta Braves GM Frank Wren reiterated today that he will not part with any of his top prospects, even if it meant bringing Jake Peavy home where he belongs. I am not sure who he plans on offering for Peavy, but if he lets this opportunity pass him by it will be a huge mistake in my eyes. Peavy, 27, is poised to be an ace for the next 10 years. More after the jump.
Looking at...

The Devil Rays are upset about a call that went against them in last night’s Game One of the World Series. They do have some room to be upset, but they need to realize they had 11 more outs to go in the game that they could have capitalized on. More after the jump.
Devil Rays Manager Joe Maddon clearly thinks Phils pitcher Cole Hamels balked when he picked off Carlos Pena in the...

Tonight marks the start of the 2008 World Series between the Tampa Bay Devil Rays (yes, I know they dropped the devil from their name, but I refuse to fall in line!) and the Philadelphia Phillies. Who will win? My thoughts after the jump.
The Devil Rays have home field advantage, and a stable of young talent with a world of potential. The Phillies have a well balanced team team that has one of the...
