Read This, Rizzo!
Posted on 14 Sep 2011 by Marien Hornyak.
Here is a letter I just sent to Mike Rizzo, the General Manager of the Washington Nationals. I don't know if it will generate any results, but I thought I'd share with you all regardless. Mr. Rizzo, I am writing you this letter as an ardent baseball fan, a loyal Nationals follower and a proud Puerto Rican. It has been wonderful following the career of future Hall-of-Famer Iván Rodriguez fo...

6+ hours of baseball & 14 pitchers later, the Angels finally spilt the first 2 in Oakland
Posted on 14 Sep 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
I've been dreading this road trip for quite a while. Well, not Baltimore so much, but Oakland and Toronto. Oakland is, and always will be, a pain in the ass to the Angels. There is about 30 people in the stadium, the team is going no where, but they play the Angels like it's the 7th game of the World Series. I knew for the Angels to remain close to the Rangers, they would need at least one of t...

Tigers Win 11th In A Row; Magic Number Down to 4
Posted on 14 Sep 2011 by Bob Ballard.
Justin Verlander earned his 11th consecutive victory and the Tigers won their 11th win in a row with a 5-0 win over the struggling Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night. Verlander picked up his 23rd victory as he threw seven shutout innings, gave up 6 hits, and struck out six. The Tigers have won 21 out of the past 25 games increasing their division lead to 12.5. On August 19th, the lead w...

HIt the panic button?
Posted on 13 Sep 2011 by John Morgo.
Last week, I previewed the Atlanta Braves 8-game, 7-day road trip proclaiming they had the wild card well in hand. According to me it was simply a matter of ironing out the kinks in the rotation before heading into the postseason. Those were the days before Atlanta got swept by the Phillies and Cardinals (but they did take two from the Mets in an Irene-inspired doubleheader). Then the Braves...

Who’s Number Four? Oswalt or Worley?
Posted on 13 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
It confounds the mind and throws caution to reason, logic and general baseball horse sense… but the question must be asked: Who will be the Phillies fourth postseason starter? Their magic number of 6 to win the NL East and one to clinch a playoff spot means we can agree the Phillies are headed to their fifth straight postseason. Whether this happens with a win in Houston or upon their retur...

Jays Maintain Reign Over O’s
Posted on 13 Sep 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened It wasn’t easy or all that pretty, but the Blue Jays (74-73) capped off another season of dominance over the Orioles, winning all six series against their fellow AL East birds this season (12-6 total record). Despite getting owned by Jeremy Guthrie on Friday, the Jays rebounded with a pair of one-run, come-from-behind wins A Closer Look Relief Comes into Focus on Sunday: The sto...

Is Johan Santana Still on This Team?
Posted on 13 Sep 2011 by Jim Mancari.
In winter 2008, the Mets paid a hefty price to acquire Johan Santana from the Minnesota Twins. Four good-looking prospects and a six-year, $137.5 million contract is what it took for the Mets to secure their new ace. As of now, the trade, at least based on the prospects, looks like a steal for the Mets. Philip Humber, Carlos Gomez and Kevin Mulvey are no longer with the Twins, while Deolis Guer...

Davis and Hunter Have Failed to Impress the Birds
Posted on 12 Sep 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
The trade that sent the Birds’ most dominating pitcher, reliever Koji Uehara, to Texas on July 30th has really backfired for the Orioles. Tommy Hunter and Chris Davis have struggled and failed to help their new club record wins. In 2009, Chris Davis smashed 21 homeruns and drove in 59 RBI in 113 games with the Rangers. Although Davis has been able to collect his hits as a member of the o...

Poise and Promise From Pomeranz
Posted on 11 Sep 2011 by Steve Folsom.
Colorado Rockies rookie Drew Pomeranz made his major league debut Sunday afternoon, pitching five innings without surrendering a run to earn the win as Colorado beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-1. Those who watched the rookie pitch noticed his poise on the mound, even as he was making his MLB debut in front of a 39,000+ fans on an emotional day for Americans all over the world. Pomeranz was limited...

For the love of Pete, the Angels can’t complete the sweep against the Yankees
Posted on 11 Sep 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
No complaining here. Any time a team can take 2 of 3 from the team with the 2nd best record in baseball, all's good in this corner. The Angels had a great chance to win Sunday's game, but it just wasn't to be. Well, there were a couple of things that went wrong. With all the great catches he makes, it's easy to forget that Peter Bourjos is human. His error in the 7th turned a tie game, in to a...

September Sizzle in Philadelphia
Posted on 11 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Baseball is a numbers game. Numbers are what we use to determine winners, losers, champions and develop perspective. Statistics allow us to compare the 1927 Yankees with the 2005 Chicago White Sox and determine which champion was better. Statistics allow us to determine the top 10 starting rotations of all time – including entries from the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries. U...

My oh Mai–cer, Izturis is Captain clutch for the Angels
Posted on 11 Sep 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
In what has to be the most surprising development of this baseball season, the LAA are just 1.5 games back of the Texas Rangers in the AL West. Who are these guys? Not one of their hitters are batting .300 or better. Their top home run and RBI guy is a rookie. The 3 catchers are batting less than .200. Their big off-season acquisition isn't even hitting his weight. And I thought the 2002 team w...
