This one is really personal for a few of us here at Rumors and Rants. Trevor Hoffman, the best closer in baseball history (shut up Yankees fans) got career save No. 600 tonight in Milwaukee.
For Hoffman, it's an amazing mark. He became the first closer to reach that number in ...

The Milwaukee Brewers have sent Trevor Hoffman through waivers and are currently looking for a buyer for the future Hall of Fame closer. Currently, there are no takers for the all-time saves leader and it doesn't look like a destination will emerge for Hoffy.
What does that mean for the 42-year-old ...

If you've followed this blog at all over the years you know that McD and myself are gigantic Padres fans. We both grew up in San Diego and have an affinity for the little franchise that could in America's Finest City. It absolutely broke our hearts when the Padres let ...

Kaley Cuoco has overcome her weird last name to be extremely hot and one of Phillips' favorites. Enjoy.

Readers of this site will know that I'm (more or less) taking the year off from rooting for my beloved San Diego Padres because of a recent team decision to cut ties with a Hall-of-Fame player for no good reason and generally try to suck as much as possible. It's ...

The Chicago White Sox have thrown their hat into the Jake Peavy Sweepstakes. And I continue to use mixed metaphors. Tough day all around.
Look, Phillips has said again and again and again and again that Peavy ain't going anywhere, but that's not really the point anymore. There are always going ...

After roughly a decade and a half of Trevor Hoffman ruling their 'pen, the San Diego Padres have a new closer. Everyone's favorite Wii Fit user, Heath Bell, took the ball in the ninth inning last night with a 4-2 lead and shut the door on the Los Angeles Dodgers. ...

As I'm sure you've heard, yesterday baseball's all-time saves leader agreed to a deal with the Milwaukee Brewers, officially ending his 16-year tenure with the San Diego Padres. As a lifelong Padres fan, I'm not happy. In fact, I'm the opposite of happy.

It doesn't take a genius to see the San Diego Padres aren't a rich team. But they aren't a poor team either. Yet suddenly they're dumping good players left and right. Well, they're dumping both good players because of "salary concerns" even though everyone knows the team is dumping salary ...
