Wait, baseball started?
What’s that? The baseball season started? Huh? You must be shi**ing me, right? Yes, for those of you who may have missed it, the Oakland A’s and Seattle Mariners just wrapped up the opening series of the Major League Baseball season in Japan. They split in case you were curious. We agree. This has to [...]
The Miami Marlins home run machine thingy
The moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived. Those who have spent the last few months dreaming of how the Miami Marlins home run contraption would come to technicolor life, wait no longer. Drink it in, Marlins fans. It. Is. Breathtaking. My only question: why shooting water streams on only one side of this stunning [...]
Tribe = Sexy darkhorse pick
Before Cecilio’s Scribe’s noodle flipped when he heard that a certain terribly inaccurate, dreamy, pious, bruising, earnest, lousy, great, ex-Florida Gators QB was headed to his favorite NFL team, the LOCG staff was kicking around ideas in our virtual office/staff meeting. I e-mailed how the Tribe was one outfielder away from World Series contention. Cuse’ [...]
New York Mets 2012: Meet the mess indeed
Let me get this out of the way. I know the Mets are going to suck for awhile, and I’m fine with that. It’s how it has to be. This is what rebuilding looks like. As mentioned time and again, my faith in Sandy Alderson is unwavering. Waiting until 2014 for relevancy is a cross [...]
Oh Manny: Ramirez and how things change
I’m having trouble reconciling this Manny Ramirez signing with the A’s things. You see, this goes back awhile. I’ve written about it before. Ramirez was something to me long before Manny was ever being Manny. I continued to follow him as he grew into the slugger that some had predicted he could be back during [...]
Kate Upton teaches MLB stars the circle…change
Kate Upton dons the cover of this year’s SI Swimsuit issue that hit stands this week. Boooring. Personally, we prefer her in less expected and more casual environments. The cover of SI is nice and all, but how about her role in the new 2K Sports commercial for their MLB 2K12 game? In this intellectually [...]
Can we leave Josh Hamilton alone?
As I stood (ironically, in a bar) last evening, I watched the familiar scroll across the bottom of the ESPN screen. Scores. News. Milestones. And then, of course, the details of Josh Hamilton’s night out in Dallas where he had “three or four” drinks. The bottom line graphic lit up across the plasma screen and [...]
Jon Stewart takes jab at Mets during Moneyball interview
We’re big Jon Stewart fans here at The Legend. Actually, let me not speak for the rest of the editorial staff. I am a big Jon Stewart fan. And Stewart shares as least one thing with Cecilio’s Scribe. He’s a fan of the New York Mets. So, we’re both sorry bastards in that regard. Fortunately [...]
Rangers Welcome Darvish, Potential Nicknames Abound
The Texas Rangers officially welcomed 25-year old pitcher Yu Darvish yesterday in Arlington. The hard-throwing former Japanese league star was one of the hottest names of the offseason with Texas scoring the righty just before a 5 p.m. deal deadline this past Wednesday. Darvish will rock #11 and just how good he will be stateside [...]
Mets Waive Goodbye to Fernando Martinez
The Mets waived Fernando Martinez today. This is likely of little interest to any but the core Mets fans. For us, though, it’s a memorable milestone, albeit an ignominious one. It represents another low point in what is a seemingly storied history of fabled Mets prospects that have failed to pan out. It’s only intriguing [...]
