... position, which is first base. And unfortunately, his prowess at the position is unlike that of KeithHernandez. Although UZR says that Murphy was the second-best defensive first baseman in the NL, our eyes know better — UZR doesn’t take into consideration the low balls that aren’t scooped, the over-ranging that confuses the second baseman, the bumbled tosses to the pitcher covering...

Mariano Rivera spit on a baseball yesterday. Spitballs are illegal. So by spitting on a baseball, Mariano Rivera cheated. Rivera’s spit is quickly becoming the most-dissected loogie in baseball since KeithHernandez hocked one in the general direction of Newman. Rivera’s greatness is being questioned. How long has Mariano Rivera been getting away with the [...]

... similar behavior. When the were rallying against the Red Sox in Game Six of the 1986 World Series, KeithHernandez was drinking beers in the clubhouse and - later called on to pinch-hit - was on the phone making travel plans. Of greater concern is the perception - especially among fans - that Ramirez doesn't care. The Dodgers have their backs against the wall, and their best player...
