The Zims Have it
Posted on 6 Aug 2011 by Marien Hornyak.
Two of the shining stars in the Washington Nationals’ lineup are Ryan Zimmerman and Jordan Zimmermann. Ryan was the 2009 Gold Glove and Silver Slugger winner at third base, while Jordan is proving to be a consistent and reliable starting pitcher despite being out for most of last season due to Tommy John surgery. Ryan Zimmerman has a career batting average of .289 since he began his major l...

Let’s Make a Deal – Colorado Rockies Edition
Posted on 6 Aug 2011 by Steve Folsom.
You might have heard that the Colorado Rockies traded their best pitcher, Ubaldo Jimenez, last week to the Cleveland Indians. You also might have heard a variety of opinions from expert analysts around the nation as to whether it was a good deal. You want to know the truth? The truth is that this trade (much like all trades involving prospects) can't be properly judged for a few years. ...

Beer, Big Macs & Brew Separation
Posted on 6 Aug 2011 by Steven Keys.
Separation. It’s the word on every manager’s mind come August. Get ten games over .500, win 3 outta’ 4 series and start building a lead. Reach your benchmarks and the competition won’t even matter. You’ll get separation. First year Brewers’ Manager Ron Roenicke is getting some divisional disconnect this week after going head-to-head with the only other contender in the NL Central, t...

Dominance Revisited
Posted on 5 Aug 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The Philadelphia Phillies have won NL East division titles in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and look to have a serious stranglehold on the 2011 flag. While five seasons may not seem like a long period of time, it is a prolonged run in sports. Aside from the Atlanta Braves (14 straight divisional titles dating from 1991-2006, interrupted by 1994 when there was no postseason), five straight division tit...

Cubs Extend Streak to 5
Posted on 5 Aug 2011 by Kamil Kolodziejski.
Marlon Byrd hits 1,000th Career Hit vs. Pirates - Aug. 4, 2011 The Chicago Cubs were looking to extend their longest winning streak of the season to 5 with a sweep at PNC Park against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cubs sent Rodrigo Lopez (2-3) to the mound to stretch their winning streak (and salvage some pride) as the Pirates look to keep pace in the NL Central countering with James McDonald (7...

Angels use the Peter principle to sink the Twins
Posted on 5 Aug 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
Remember back at the beginning of June, Peter Bourjos was struggling. His average was in the mid two-thirties, and things looked like they were going too fast for the 1st full year center fielder. Fast forward 2 months later, and Bourjos looks like a wily veteran. His average now up to .270, and looks unstoppable. After getting the Angels off on the right foot Wednesday, he came back Thursday a...

Orioles Struggles Continue on Road as They’ve Won Only 17 All Season
Posted on 4 Aug 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
Most believe the Orioles’ 2011 season, its first full year under mastermind Buck Showalter, has been over since mid-May when they really took a plunge in the Eastern standings and have never been able to lift themselves up and get back on track. Nick Markakis actually hits better on the road (.288) than at home this season (.277). Entering the season, fans finally had reason to rejoice and ev...

Braves head to New York
Posted on 4 Aug 2011 by John Morgo.
I'm trying out the new city tag of Atlanta for this post, an admission that I do tend to wander when writing these recaps/previews of the Braves. First thing, you may have heard a loud cheer emanating from our Philadelphia brethren. Yes, the Phils did sweep Colorado in Denver and now go to San Fran for a big weekend series. While they did that, the Braves went to Washington and only managed to ...

Game of Missed Opportunities Seals Series Loss
Posted on 4 Aug 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened I’ll be blunt: these three games against the Tampa Bay Rays have seen John Farrell get out-managed by Joe Maddon and the Blue Jays (56-55) get outplayed by the Rays. Maybe it’s just a Tropicana Field thing (the Jays are 10-29 and winless in their past 13 series at the Trop), but the fact remains that Tampa Bay took two of three by manufacturing runs and taking advantage of run...

Phils Best in the Bigs…so far…
Posted on 4 Aug 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The 2011 Phillies record stands at 71-39, best in the Major Leagues (3 games ahead of next team and 32 games over .500). They were the first team to post 70 wins on the season (did so in their 109th game) and they did it with style. Philadelphia finished off a three game sweep of the Colorado Rockies (at hitter-friendly Coors Field no less) with a tidy 8-6 victory following a 5-0 win in Game 2....

Twins all jacked up, keep Angels in 2nd place.
Posted on 4 Aug 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
With all the fireworks coming out of Detroit, it's amazing the Angels could focus on their next AL Central team, the Minnesota Twins. A win over the Twinkies on Wednesday would move them in to a tie for first with the Rangers. First things first, though. Jered Weaver, who is appealing his 6 game suspension, watched Tuesday's game from the top step of the dugout, looking no worse for the wear. M...

Diamondbacks Are Back in the Hunt
Posted on 3 Aug 2011 by Matthew Hesse.
Look out the Diamondbacks are back and they are not going away. The Diamondbacks have a record of 12-7 since the All Star Break and have won 8 of their last 11 games. The Diamondbacks looked to fade off into the sunset as the Giants were running away with the NL West and the Braves looked untouchable for the Wild Card. Then, the Diamondbacks went on this tear and are now only one game back in t...
