Salary Arbitration Hearings: A Blue Jays History And How They Work
A portion of this story was published last year. As we've got a bunch of new folks hanging around here (and because of massive confusions on the Twitterwebs), I figured that it'd be worth it to put this up now. Salary Arbitration Hearings: A Blue Jays History "Un-Break My Heart". Toni Braxton's...
Thread on Threads Part II: Blue Jays' Logos and Uniforms, 1997-2003
The Toronto Blue Jays will be unveiling a new logo and a new set of uniforms today at noon eastern on the field of the Rogers Centre in a "media event." The announcement will be streamed live online at Bluejays.com, unfortunately I have a lunch appointment so I'll have to miss it. For the fans in...
Thread on Threads Part I: Blue Jays' Logos and Uniforms, 1977-1996
The Toronto Blue Jays will be unveiling a new logo and a new set of uniforms this Friday noon in the Rogers Centre. Officially, the Blue Jays are simply holding a "media event" (of which the invitation to Bluebird Banter must have been lost by Canada Post), then again Jeffrey Loria was officially...
White Sox Homerless Win-Streak Straight Out of Dead Ball Era
So I have to start this post with an apology, somewhere, probably two weeks ago exactly, I wrote that the site would be much-improved in the month of June thanks to my immobility and lack of options of things to do. To be completely honest, that clearly hasn't been the case. I had no idea how much...

Cubs Historic Photo: 23rd In A Series
Once again, you may not think there are enough clues to figure out when this was taken. Your hint: the uniforms of all three principals in this photo are a clue, as well as the crowd. Your first clue is the Phillies road uniform. Though the Phillies wore this numbering style from 1970-1991,...
Cubs Historic Photos: 22nd In A Series
At first glance, you might think there aren't enough clues in this photo to figure out when it was taken. Think about it again and you'll realize it's actually fairly simple. (And yes, unlike a couple of recent photos, this time I'm 100% certain.) Click on photo to open a larger version in a...
Cubs Historic Photos: 21st In A Series
This one should be pretty easy -- but if you look at it for a while and still can't guess, find the answer after the jump. Obviously, it's Opening Day -- that's the only time the Cubs have played the Cardinals at Wrigley with bunting on the brick wall, and the opponent is clearly St. Louis....
Cubs Historic Photos: 20th In A Series
One player in this photo became famous, not long after it was taken, for something off the field. But exactly what is happening here is somewhat of a mystery. Follow me after the jump for the story. The player I'm referring to, obviously, is the Cardinals' Curt Flood, who, after being...
