Pujols' goal of catching Jeter might be tough in St. Louis
Albert Pujols wins his third MVP. Catching Barry Bonds (seven) is possible, but Pujols is more interested in what Derek Jeter has: five World Series rings. It might not be easy in St. Louis, Danny Knobler says.
Lincecum's back-to-back Cy Youngs draw durability question, not HOF
Tim Lincecum bags his second straight NL Cy Young Award. And that will get the Giants ace in the HOF conversation. But that's not the concern, says Danny Knobler: It's whether the wiry, 25-year-old will hold up.
Joy of Greinke's Cy Young masks Royals' big problem
It's another small-market Cy Young story. Zack Greinke is the latest name to earn the award, after a dominating season on a bad Royals team. It begs a question from Danny Knobler: How long can K.C. keep its ace around?
Phillies, Yanks good enough to meet again in 2010 Fall Classic
For the first time in years, the World Series clubs are clearly baseball's best. They are also tops heading into 2010, says Danny Knobler, who feels there could be another Phillies-Yankees Fall Classic next year.
Matsui joins Yankees lore with World Series record in clincher
Reggie, the Babe and now Hideki Matsui. The Yanks win their 27th title
with a 7-3 victory over the Phils in Game 6. Danny Knobler says Matsui,
named MVP after six RBI in the win, enters Yankee lore.
Specter of Sabathia hangs over Game 6 participants
He's a dominant figure, even though he's not pitching in Game 6. Despite CC Sabathia's considerable playoff miles, he's the Yanks' man for a Game 7 and don't think that fact has escaped anyone, Danny Knobler says.
Lee makes Phillies forget they missed out on Halladay
The Phillies couldn't get the Blue Jays to trade them Roy Halladay, so they acquired Cliff Lee instead. After Lee beats New York again to keep Philly alive in the World Series, the Yankees are glad to be -- presumably -- done with him, Danny Knobler says.
