In previewing the World Series in recent years, the Fox people expressed just one wish — for a long series. They said it didn't matter who was playing. Sure, they'd love Yankees vs. Dodgers, but it didn't matter if it was Royals vs. Pirates as long...Tags: Frank Caliendo, Lehigh Valley IronPigs, Kansas City Royals, Radio, Minor League Baseball

U.S. should have world-class WBC pitching staff
Thirteen pitchers eligible to play for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic received points in Cy Young voting. That, sports fans, should largely be the pitching staff for the team Joe Torre will manage. Imagine a starting rotation of R.A. Dickey,...

Baseball biggest beneficiary of owners' greatest adversary

Your Morning Phil: Loria, Selig, Tolleson
