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 [...]

Good times – congrats. Was the jedi ghost effect on Nick intentional – or is he a jedi?
REPORT COMMENT
October 5th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Nick’s def a Jedi. Though Paul doesn’t actually have UFH. That’s photoshopped too.
REPORT COMMENT
October 5th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
Oh, and yes, this also explains the sudden lack of posts.

Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Ward. Glad to see you got these nuptials wrapped up before the playoffs began.
Paul, You ought to give the Fu-Man some serious consideration, it looks good on you.

The sad thing is, Melissa, is that Suz now has Coley trapped on a deserted island in Fiji instead of watching the playoffs! The Phillies could be eliminated by the time he gets back. Men really will do crazy things for love. As Zvee said at the wedding, “Ah, the power of a woman!”

I suppose that if the Phillies are knocked out before he gets back he will be just as glad he didn’t have to watch it. I wish I had been in Fiji the last two Octobers, damn Cubs.

Oh but they weren’t knocked out, Melissa! Not even close! Suz and I arrived in Los Angeles this afternoon to catch our connecting flight to Tucson, and discovered that the Phils-Dodgers series was set to begin in only a couple of hours! Not wanting to miss the early innings, we volunteered to take a later flight (scoring two roundtrip flight vouchers in the process) and hunkered down to watch the game in the LAX California Pizza Kitchen. Unfortunately, our flight boarded just as Brad Lidge looked poised to blow the game, so we missed the final three outs. But maybe that was a good thing? After all, watching Lidge pitch can’t be beneficial to one’s health.
