Well, look at that high school photo, why dontcha! Where did all the hair go? As you can tell from the other photo (that’s me, Kirk Gibson, next to Tram and Cluckin’ Chicken), I have a sit-down job. More specifically, I am the bench coach for the Detroit Tigers. I am not the hitting coach. […]
Continue reading →A lot of people come up and ask me what I think about the possibility of Kerry Wood as the new Cubs closer. Now I have a lot of experience pitching, and I have a lot of experience pitching for the Cubs, but I never know what to tell the fans when this question comes […]
Continue reading →Hey Redheads, Eric Milton here. I’m trying to be upbeat after last night’s non-win (see!), and it’s tough.

I’ve been in a few leagues with George, and he’s the sort of owner who always has an eye on the waiver wire, and is ruthless when it comes to trades. Why do I mention that? Because it seems like George’s reign might […]

The Baseball Tonight crew has been kind enough to let me use this blog to extend my thanks to everyone who e-mailed last night with tips on soothing neck pain. My neck sure was smarting after jerking around every few pitches to watch those home runs sail out in the […]

Folks, I’ll […]
Continue reading →I want to clear up some misunderstandings over the issue of walks and OBP. I’ve gotten a lot of feedback from my recent posts, particularly the one written by me and HR.
