Thinking About 15-8
We're still a couple weeks away from Opening Day, April 6, 2009. So I've been thinking about what an acceptable April would look like. I believe the secret to a successful pennant race is to pl...
Foolishness- the Brian Bruney Edition
Eli Whitney revolutionized warfare with the development (if not the genesis) of interchangeable parts. The 2008 Yankees followed that path to bullpen success. I looked forward to the conti...
Thinking About the Bench
