6th General Manager in Royals History Named

I guess it’s passing of the torch time in Kansas City.  Ex-GM Allard Baird is out, ex-Atlanta Braves Dayton Moore is in.  Can you blame them, they have a MLB worst record of 13-37…something had to give.
The question remains, will signing a new GM actually make the team start WINNING?  I feel like the only […]

Clemens Headed Back To Astros

The Rocket is about to land…not in Fenway, unfortunately but back with his old squad the Houston Astros.
So, what’d it take to get the Rocket to fly back to Houston…how about $22 million for a year.  How about I’d go play baseball on friggen Jupiter for $22 million.   The 11 time All-Star/7 time Cy […]

“He’s a horse’s ass…and you can quote me on that.”

Like the article I just read says, we don’t know for 100% sure what Babe Ruth would be saying about all this right now, how he’d feel about Barry Bonds, how he’d feel about his 2nd place sliding into a 3rd.  We just don’t know…what we DO know, however, is how his last remaining teammate […]

Happy Memorial Day + Barry Beats Babe + Sox Sweep

I just wanted to take a moment to say Happy Memorial Day from KnuckleCurve!  I hope everyone enjoys this day off, if in fact you get it off, and uses that time wisely.  Go play baseball with your family, some home-run derby with your friends, BBQ with all of them.
Real quick like, Barry finally passed […]

Frank Robinson CRYING? Wait, WHAT?

Start booking bomb shelters, start stocking up on bottled water, flashlights, batteries and canned food…the world just might be ending.  The old adage “there’s no crying in baseball” apparently just isn’t true, and when guys like Frank Robinson start crying about things other than winning the World Series, somethings going on.  Perhaps it is a […]

Berkman Injured And Loses Game

Talk about a double dip of a crappy night, Lance Berkman gets hurt and his team suffers a loss to the Nationals.  Ouch.
It’s just lookin’ like a few days for his hyper-extended right knee, but you know how these things go; 1 day turns into 20, 20 turns into half the season.  We’ll see I […]

A “How To” On How Not To Negotiate Your Contract

I wish I was half as funny as the guys and gals at Deadspin.  I wish, but I guess it’s just not meant to be.  Regardless, hats off to them once again for this hilarious insight into How Not To Negotiate Contracts.
Story goes something like this…Boy meets baseball, boy loves baseball, boy plays baseball pretty […]

El Duque To The Mets

All in all, I think the Mets got a pretty good deal; Orlando “El Duque” Hernandez for reliever Jorge Julio…I’d take it.
While it’s true this season, so far, El Duque isn’t as impressive or on his game as usual, he was a member of the World Series White Sox, as well as some pretty darn […]

Manny Being Manny = RBI’s

Could Manny Rameriz be any more impressive?  I know hitters get “locked in” but when Manny gets locked in, look out.  4 home runs, 10 RBI’s so far in the Red Sox 3 game series against the Yankees and guess what, he’s got more at-bats left tonight.
Here’s another fun little tidbit, both of Manny’s home […]
