Above all else, this will be remembered as the week that Dayton Moore v. Insanity Wolf came into our lives, probably the single funniest blog post I've read all year. Meanwhile, earlier this week, there was an out-of-nowhere Greinke to the Brewers rumor, which I first heard about via Schaum on Twitter . For the Brewer response, click here .

Aside from a barstool, there may be no more emotional position in baseball than closer. This is certainly true for Jonathan Papelbon and K-Rod, but more, it's true for the people watching. So long as it doesn't get watered down from blowouts, the best moment at Kauffman Stadium is when the video boards set fire and Slash starts playing "Welcome to the Jungle" and Joakim Soria comes out from...

I think Rivera will have another season of 35+ saves and excellent peripherals. 2. Joe Nathan - Had a career high 47 saves...

(Thanks for sticking with us here at Ball Star. I'll have some Chiefs and/or Big 12 football thoughts on UFR soon, but wanted to get this up first.) There are any number of ways to point out just how bad the Royals are. Their season was disappointing enough that everyone's performance can be criticized*, everyone's security questioned. * Zack Greinke, Billy Butler, David DeJesus and Joakim Soria are...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Amid the Denver Broncos' 3-0 start, one disquieting element has been the team's difficulties in short-yardage and goal-line situations. Fullback Peyton Hillis, who resumed practicing Thursday after sitting out the day before because of a blow to the head, said the short-yardage issues that cropped up during last week's 23-3 win at Oakland can be addressed with better preparation
