Predicting the 2013 Baseball Season

As Pete Seeger Might Ask, Where Have All the Frontline Pitchers Gone?
I (Evander) am having a difficult time staying involved with this Game 6 between the Cardinals and the home-team Milwaukee Brewers. At this writing, it is the bottom of the seventh inning and the Cardinals lead 11 to 6. The … Continue reading
