Well, that was quick. Another year gone by already? Hey, I still can’t believe it’s not the ’90s.
Anywho, thanks to everyone who stopped by and participated here at Knuckle Curve during 2007. As a way of wrapping things up, so to speak, here’s a quick look at the most popular […]

I understand there was a football game last night. Heard about it from my imaginary friend. Conversation went a little like this:
IF: How ’bout Tom Brady?
Me: How ’bout him?
IF: Patriots could become the first team ever to finish with a 16-0 record; wouldn’t that be something?
Me: Sure.
IF: You want to see ‘em do it?
Me: Will […]

I seem to be on a Hall of Fame kick lately. Maybe it’s because I actually visited the place this summer. Or maybe there’s not much else going on right now (seriously, don’t make me bust out some transaction haiku on the Darin Erstad and Miguel Olivo signings). Whatever the case, that’s where my head […]

If you could choose one player for the Hall of Fame in 2008, who would it be?

Goose Gossage
Tim Raines
Alan Trammell
Andre Dawson
Don […]

For your amusement, and mine…
More great games, fewer Congressional investigations.
A commissioner who isn’t one of the owners. Yeah, I know technically he isn’t one of the owners anymore, but he’s one of the owners.
Hall of Fame enshrinement for Bert Blyleven, Goose Gossage, and Tim Raines.
Enough with the Red Sox already. It was kinda cute the […]

The Cincinnati Reds have traded outfielder Josh Hamilton to the Texas Rangers for right-hander Edinson Volquez and left-hander Danny Herrera. Hamilton was one of the bigger surprises of the 2007 season, but apparently the Reds deemed him expendable. Hamilton’s power will play anywhere, and if he can stay healthy (and clean), he should put up […]

The Milwaukee Brewers have signed outfielder Gabe Kapler, who spent 2007 managing the Class-A Greenville Drive. Welcome back, G-Kap:
