What they need: 2009-2010 offseason
Here we go again. Time for another edition of our semi-annual “What They Need” series, where we play GM for all 30 teams. As usual, we’ll be suggesting subtle tweaks for some squads, and major overhalls for others. There’s already movement going on in the Hot Stove front, so there’s no time to waste!
Here’s a [...]

Teams That Were Almost Great: 2003 Los Angeles Dodgers
The 2003 Los Angeles Dodgers had one of the greatest pitching staffs the game of baseball has ever known. At the height of the steroids era, in a season when 104 players would test positive for performance enhancing drugs, the Dodgers hurlers posted a 3.16 ERA, good enough for an insane 128 team ERA+, and [...]

Can the Nationals contend next season?
Okay, so at a time when most people are debating whether or not the Washington Nationals can even break .500 next season, this is going to sound more than a little crazy, but I think the Nats have an outside chance at contending next season.
I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but I am saying [...]

The All-Hot Team
We here at Umpbump have done quite a few all-time teams. We’ve also cataloged quite a series of Hot Baseball Wives. In this post, I will attempt the acrobatic feat of bridging the twain. Yes, reader: The All-Hot Team.
For reasons of attention span, or specifically, the lack of it, I am focusing on current major [...]

Mike Mussina uses many differnt tactics to keep hitters off-balance. This particular move, dubbed the “rear back and fire,” is particularly effective against Red Sox hitters.

“Uh, guys? Um, I think I’m stuck. No, for reals. I thought I would just bend down, stretch my hammies, and then go into my windup, but now I can’t move…No, it’s not funny! Goddammit Damon, this is not the time to joke about wedgies. Is someone going to call a trainer or not?!”

Uhm, OK guys! I get the point! I have to stand here from sunrise to sundown just so you can demonstrate our hazing rituals to all the minor leaguers we keep calling up, but I’ve had enough! Can I go sit now?!

Ok, I got the two bunny ears….. I know I made the first one run around the tree…. crap, did he jump through the hole? I’ll be damned, I think I forgot to make him jump through the hole. Man, I’ll *never* make it to first grade!

The feathery baserunner soon took a brazen lead off of second, towards third base, but Sox hurler Rudy Seanez made no attempt at a pickoff throw. The bird eventually rounded home plate. Score it defensive indifference.

In all futility, Red Sox fans come to grips with the sad truth that 2004 was but a fluke and that the curse of the Bambino has reincarnated itself in the form of a black bird from Hell. And Jason Varitek’s injury.

This photo captures the exact moment when Cleveland Indians shortstop Robbie Raven tore his meniscus rounding second. If you look closely, you can see his knee wobbling and giving way.

Unable to make a deal by the trade deadline, Red Sox GM Theo Epstein turned to the animal kingdom for help. “We came to a deal that works for both of us,” said Epstein of his new utility infielder. “One bag of seed for the season.”
“I think he’ll add a lot to the ballclub,” Theo added. “He’s quite fast. His SLG might not be great, but we’re confident he’ll be an on-base machine—just look at his strike zone.”

A properly executed “crow hop” seemed to be a thing of the past until Tuesday’s game.
(Ugh.. I’m really in a slump since my Shakepeare butchering.)

FYI, Posted on the Boston Herald website, The bird did not make it, he or she was eaten by one of the red-tail hawks that live in the lights at Fenway.

The Red Sox REALLY don’t want to have to play Ortiz at first.

Hey! That bird’s stealing signs! Somebody get Bud Selig on the phone.

That’s really sad, after escaping the spikes of Casey Blake.

A little bit ironic (yeah I really do think).
