A’s Off-Season Trades: Where Are They Now?
Posted on 16 May 2012 by Josh Muller.
Coming into the season, I had planned on doing frequent minor league updates. I figured that everyone would be interested in the top prospects because the A’s are clearly rebuilding and aren’t expected to do much at the major league level. Quite frankly, I thought it would be a refreshing change of pace to the redundant drab of a bottom-dwelling ball club. Thankfully, I’ve been wrong so f...

Angels slip Hatcher a Mickey in the form of a pink slip
Posted on 16 May 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
Mickey Hatcher is out as Angels coach. Jim Eppard is in. If there is any more questions as to who is running the team, I think it can be answered now. Jerry DiPoto thinks the Angels offense has been underachieving, so he pulled the plug on one of Mike Scioscia's closest buddies. It probably way past due for the long-time batting instructor, who as recently as 3 years ago saw his charges hit ....

Philadelphia Phillies: A Winning Streak
Posted on 16 May 2012 by Adrian Fedkiw.
The Cleveland Indians had won a game, and the next day manager Lou Brown was enthusiastic that his club was ready to “turn things around.” “We won a game yesterday, we win one today, that’s two in a row, we win one tomorrow, that’s called a winning streak.” MAJOR LEAGUE II http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnVrSZHnvYY For the first time all season, the Philadelphia Phillies have put to...

After being shutout, Angels take to pounding Colon
Posted on 15 May 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
I was getting all frustrated last night after finding out the Angels were shut out for the 8th time this year, 5-0 by the A's. I stopped, thought about it, and reconsidered my frustration. The Halos are just 15-21 (now 16), and I know with the expectations placed on the team, that's not the best, but it's actually not awful. It's only been 37 games, that means there are 125 games left. Or, a lo...

Best Hot Dog Isn’t Chic
Posted on 15 May 2012 by Steven Keys.
Some people like ‘em piled high with pickle relish, onions or chili. Others will top it off with sauerkraut for some Old World flavor. Cheddar cheese & bacon are just the ticket for the Midwestern palate. In the Southwest desert, eateries serve it up with a selection of hot sauces & peppers. Me, I keep it simple: a bun, the star attraction, ketchup & mustard, yellow, to be exact. ...

Smyly, Putkonen Can’t Preserve Tigers Offensive Outburst
Posted on 15 May 2012 by Brett Decker.
Drew Smyly had his roughest start of the season so far after pitching 5 innings and allowing 4 runs on 5 hits including 2 hr's and 1 walk and 4 K's. He looked pretty good for most of the night, but allowed two 2-run home runs in the 1st and 4th inning on two pitches where he missed his location to the wrong two hitters. Other than that Smyly pitched pretty well and was still in position to get ...

The Things I Like About the 2012 Yankees
Posted on 14 May 2012 by Brendan Sennott.
I am like 100 George Steinbrenners. Yankee wins are a relief to me and losses really tick me off. As you can tell from this blog I am quite pessimistic when it comes to the Yankees. I am all about the championship or bust mantra “Big Stein” put into place when he bought the Yankees in 1973. I have no patience for mediocrity, especially when I pay Yankee prices for tickets, m...

Young Guns Lead Surge in the Trail of Tears
Posted on 14 May 2012 by Jefferson Mills.
Prior to this weekend, it seemed that Bobby Valentine and company were epitomizing the fable of “Chicken Little.” The sky was without a doubt falling rapidly as the Sox found themselves 7.5 games back of the first place Baltimore Orioles sporting an embarrassing 12-18 record going into what looked like was going to be another tough series against the AL Central leading Cleveland Indians. ...

Pittsburgh Pirates Ride Walk-Off Wins to Series Victories Over Nationals and Astros
Posted on 14 May 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Fans began to slowly trickle out of the stadium on the rainy and gloomy Mother’s Day game between the Houston Astros and Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park yesterday, with little to cheer about. The Pirates offense looked like they were going to waste another spectacular start by starter A.J. Burnett, trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth. Neil Walker’s second double of the game put the pot...

First Place Was Nice – While it Lasted!
Posted on 14 May 2012 by Marien Hornyak.
For the first time this season, the Washington Nationals are not in first place in the NL East. That’s because they lost yesterday’s game, which put them half a game behind the Atlanta Braves. Now, with 9 players on the Disabled List it’s a miracle they have a 21-13 record, but still, not being first anymore kind of stinks. Two of last week’s losses were due to blown saves by closer...

The Key to the Closer
Posted on 14 May 2012 by Joseph Inza.
To say that Miami Marlins Closer, Heath Bell, is struggling is an understatement. The $27 million man has an ERA of 10.03 and 4 (officially) blown saves along with other blown ties. Heath Bell has not been 100% awful. There is a silver lining. When Heath Bell has an outing with at least one strikeout, he is a completely different pitcher. In the combined outings where Bell strikes out a batter,...

Rangers grade out better than the Angels…Class Dismissed
Posted on 14 May 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
On May 13th, 2012, the Texas Rangers are better than the Angels in every category. They resoundingly proved that point this weekend. It can be argued that the Angels have a few individual players that are better than the Rangers, but as a team they are not even close. The Rangers put a nail into the Angels coffin in front of the national ESPN audience, pounding their best pitcher. Jered Weaver...
