Schedule this coming week:
So, I’ll admit, I’ve been slacking lately. But, that’s about to change. Here’s a schedule for this coming week:
MONDAY: “Wisdom and Links”
TUESDAY: WBC Update
WEDNESDAY: A look at the 1919 World Series and whether the White Sox REALLY were the big favorites people say.
THURSDAY: “Death To Copy-Pasted Minor League Team Names: Part 1”
FRIDAY: “Death to Copy-Pasted Minor League Team Names: Part 2”
And, of course, there will be the MVP posts.
Keep an eye open!
MVP of Yesterday and the Day Before That (May 10 and 11, 2016)
Tuesday’s MVP was Lorenzo Cain and his 3 HRs. Wednesday, however, is a super-easy one: Max Scherzer. I mean, he only tied the record for SOs in a 9-inning game!

MVP of Yesterday (May 5, 2016): Masahiro Tanaka
Masahiro Tanaka pitched a gem yesterday, striking out seven and allowing five hits in eight scoreless innings against the Orioles. Sadly for him, though, Kevin Gausman was nearly as good, and eventually Baltimore won in the 10th. But he is still the MVP of Yesterday!

MVP of Yesterday (May 2, 2016): Mike Trout
Mike Trout went 4-5 with a HR and 3 RBIs… but he wasn’t good enough to lead the Angels to victory. Still, he’s the MVP of Yesterday… sorry Bartolo.
