NL West Preview: Colorado Rockies

Feb. 25, 2009   Leave a Comment  

We have established the Padres are the front runners for the worst team in the NL West, but I could be wrong. I have been before. Ask my girlfriend. What makes a topic for interesting conversation and debate is where the other teams in the division fall into place. With the Dodgers ability to potentially [...]

Red Sox give up on Teixeira

Dec. 19, 2008   Leave a Comment  

In a disappointing upset added to an even more disappointingly upsetting winter of un-action, the Red Sox announced the team was not a contender in obtaining star slugger Mark Teixeira. In an e-mail to Boston media from Sox owner John Henry Thursday night, he explained that “we met with Mr. Teixeira and were very much [...]

What happened Wednesday night?

Oct. 30, 2008   Leave a Comment  

Philadelphia was ready to celebrate their first championship in 25 years on Monday night. The table was set with their ace on the mound and a 3-1 series lead. Then the winds and rains came, suspending not only the game, but a party and celebration only the Philadelphia faithful could host. The snow and sleet [...]

Harry the K calls it

Oct. 30, 2008   Leave a Comment  

For those of you outside the Philadelphia area, the Phillies have one of the most legendary voices calling their games in Harry Kalas. He is a Hall of Famer and here he is closing out last night’s game (that’s Chris Wheeler in the background. He knows his stuff but is kind of a choad):

Phinally!

After 25 years, Philadelphia has finally won a championship as the Phillies took down the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 in the completion of Game 5. The Phillies win the 2008 World Series four games to one and if anyone thinks I’m going to sit behind this computer to type out a bunch of articles this [...]

Important questions for conclusion of Game 5

Oct. 29, 2008   Leave a Comment  

There are several important questions that have arisen regarding the exciting conclusion to Game 5 of the World Series tonight at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. First of all, will there be a singing of the national anthem? We all know that every sporting event kicks off with “The Star Spangled Banner,” but what about [...]

Why the Phillies will and won’t win the World Series

Oct. 28, 2008   1 Comment  

Monday night’s rain suspension of Game 5 was an absolute debacle. The Phillies and Rays were playing in absolutely horrific conditions for the better part of three innings before the game was finally called off after the Rays tied it at 2-2 in the top of the 6th. Coincidence? Or was MLB absolutely shivering at [...]

Diamond Dustings: October stories

Oct. 1, 2008   Leave a Comment  

You don’t win pennants in the offseason. You don’t win them during the season either. You win them in the postseason. It is now October and it’s time for some baseball. After six months, eight of thirty teams remain. In a little less than a month, we will have our champion. [...]

Ryan Howard NL MVP?

Sept. 16, 2008   15 Comments  

Is Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard the NL MVP? Well, there are several cases for and against him. First, why he shouldn’t be MVP: -Howard has 190 K’s and could very well break his own MLB record of 199 strikeouts in a season. MVP’s shouldn’t be breaking strikeout records. -His defense at first base has [...]

Get ready for replay

Aug. 14, 2008   6 Comments  

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig says that replay could be installed in baseball before the end of the season, but first wants to make sure all the kinks are ironed out. “I’m hoping we can get the bugs out sometime before the postseason,” Selig said. “Whether we can make that timetable or not really hasn’t been [...]

That will do it for Borowski

July 4, 2008   Leave a Comment  

So much for the Joe Borowski era in Cleveland, as the Indians have designated their closer for assignment. The Indians desperately need to clean up their lousy bullpen and get a look at some of the younger guys. The Indians also designated right-hander Rick Bauer, which will make room for Jensen Lewis and Brian Slocum [...]

Brett Myers sent down

July 2, 2008   Leave a Comment  

The first-place team in the National League East just sent their opening-day starter down to the minors. That’s right, the Philadelphia Phillies were forced to send right-hander Brett Myers to the AAA Lehigh Valley Ironpigs. Myers is 3-9 this season with a 5.84 ERA. “We’re in a playoff race, and I have to be there [...]

Rich Rieker, who serves as a liaison between MLB and its umpires, said in a recent chat on the Houston Chronicle’s website that replay is coming to baseball. “Replay is coming,” Rieker said. “If done properly we have an opportunity to set the gold standard in replay, learning from pros and cons from other sports.
