I Found My New Job…

Good to see everyone again. As the resident NFL and MLB guy at the Cube, the time between the Super Bowl and baseball season provided a nice break for me. But pitchers and catchers have reported, spring training games are right around the corner, so it’s time for me to get back to [...]

Oh Baseball How I’ve Missed You. You Too Red Sox

[Ring Ring, Ring Ring]
Baseball: Hello
Gideon: I’ve had some second thoughts, and realized I would like to write about you again, if that’s ok?
Baseball:  Well, I guess so.  I have just finished up three of the most trade and signing packed days of the year.  I’m sure you can find something in there.
Gideon: Yeah, that’s what [...]

BCS Is So Boring

Lets get a few things out of the way:
1.  I finally found my CubicleGM password after losing it for two weeks.  Actually thats not true, just the rumor being spread across the Internets.  I have spent my non-working hours a.) Journeying through The Wire for the second time -  its far better the second time [...]

Disenchanted with MLB? Yeah I’m A Lost Man, too

This post has been brewing for a while now, but I must admit I was just not that excited or motivated to write it.
Not excited as I have been a long time baseball fanboy.  Not motivated as I am not usually the curmudgeon type.  I’d rather focus my energy elsewhere.  But alas due to contractual [...]

What Happened to When CubicleGM Covered Baseball Back When Baseball Was Fun!?

For those dedicated CubicleGM readers out there, once upon a time, circa 3 or 4 months ago CubicleGM regularly used to write articles, I’d dare even say interested articles, about baseball.  Weird, huh?  You remember those good old days?  What happened to those good old days?  Well, brothers Cloud joined the fray and Jacob Nitz [...]

MLB Performance Review – September 23rd

Welcome to another edition of the Cubicle GM MLB Performance Review.  With one playoff race heating up, the rankings saw a bit of a shakeup in the middle.  However, it has become abundantly clear that there are three distinct groupings of teams in MLB.
The top seven teams remain in a group of their own, as [...]

MLB Power Rankings: September 16th

Welcome to another edition of the Cubicle GM MLB Power Rankings.  Despite no real shakeups in any of the playoff races, there was quite a bit of movement in the ranks this week.
The Top 10 got another shakeup, as the San Francisco Giants got back into the NL Wild Card Race as well as back [...]

MLB Would Be Better If There Were 4 AL Divisions

As crazy as it may sound, adding a 4th AL division would make MLB better – at least based on the  current format of the
the game and the league.  In my hypothetical world, the AL would lose the Wild Card, and each division winner would earn a playoff spot.  The NL would remain the same.  [...]

The Calm Before the Storm

On ESPN2 Baron Davis is watching Roger Federer toy with some Amadeusian Mozart looking guy in the US Open and dressed like a flasher, and I’m watching it. There’s an actual meaningful baseball game on ESPN; a game I wouldn’t care much about had I not just spent a long weekend in Florida, hanging out [...]
