The Texas Rangers snapped an 8 game losing streak at the hands of the Boston Red Sox Saturday night. The team pounded knuckleballer Tim Wakefield for seven earned runs in 1 2/3 innings of work before pounding a Boston bullpen.
Led by Nelson Cruz’s big night, two homers and a double accounting for five RBI the [...]

When the Colorado Rockies went on a win streak prior to the trade deadline it may have made the front office think twice about dealing away players. No players left Colorado at the deadline. Even closer Brian Fuentes, the most obvious trading chip, was held.
While it could be said that the Rockies didn’t get the [...]
So I went to Camden Yards last night. It had been a few years since I last went there but walking back though those gates brought back some memories.
While the game featured the Orioles (a team I grew up sometimes watching) and the White Sox (my wife’s favorite team) the real reason for going to [...]
Sometime tonight the wife and I expect to load up the Forenza with our son and all the usual road trip needs and head off to Maryland for a week.
With that being said updates, thoughts and other opinions you may or may not agree with will likely be scarce until we return.
While in Maryland we [...]
Those of us who were wondering about the status of Tom Glavines career can breathe a little easier tonight.
Test show that Atlanta Braves pitcher Tom Glavine has no ligament damage in his left elbow, leaving open the possibility he could return next season.
Glavine was examined by Dr. James Andrews and while test showed that the [...]
It may have taken three weeks longer then expected but veteran hurler Greg Maddux is on his way back to Los Angeles. Maddux will rejoin the Dodgers after being traded from San Diego for two players to be named later.
The Dodgers are currently even with the Arizona Diamondbacks at the top of the NL West. [...]
Tom Glavine went back to the disabled list on Friday, just a day after making his first start since June 10. Glavine was pounded to the tune of seven runs, seven hits while walking four in the Braves 11-7 loss to the Chicago Cubs.
Today it appears his season has ended and while there has been [...]
Baseball has the World Series, and softball… well it has the Olympics. For now….
It seems hard to believe that four years have flown by since the last time I watched women’s softball. Perhaps even sadder is that after these Olympic games it’ll be gone, maybe forever.
Cat Osterman graced our televisions in 2004. Even from Greece [...]
Earlier this year I noticed that Kila Kaaihue again was assigned to the Kansas City Royals Double-A affiliate. While the team had recently changed names from Wichita to North West Arkansas Kaaihue was still a member.
Remembering that I had seen Kaaihue the last two seasons the thought of just another guy who can’t get pass [...]
Something that happens regularly is people trying to compare players to determine the best player of all time. Never mind that it’s often hard to determine the best player in a given season but try comparing guys based on decades of work, often when their decades of work are scores apart.
While I can’t ask everyone [...]
Mike Parisi is the latest member of the St. Louis Cardinal organization to be facing Tommy John surgery. Parisi was diagnosed with a partial tear of his ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.
While Parisi wasn’t particularly impressive in the majors (0-4, 8.22 ERA in 23 innings) he had been pitching well at the Triple-A [...]
It may have taken him an eternity to record career win number 351 but Greg Maddux is on a roll of late. Maddux has won his last three starts upping his career total to 353, just one behind Roger Clemens.
Maddux who turned 42 in April is pitching in his 23rd season in the majors and [...]
With Jose Conteras lost for the season and left handed specialist Boone Logan in a terrible slump Chicago White Sox GM Kenny Williams set out for pitching help. What he got was Horacio Ramirez.
Had this been two years ago I’d be raving about how well Ramirez can pitch and saying that for a end of [...]
Oakland A’s reliever Brad Ziegler keeps adding zeros next to his name in the box score. On Friday night manager Bob Geren left the 28-year-old right hander in to record his first career save.
Ziegler who had already set a mark for most scoreless innings to start a career added to more to his stat line [...]
