From The Stretch: Who Makes The Playoffs And Who Wins It All (AL)
Posted on 27 Aug 2012 by Connor Callaghan.
A few days ago I posted my predictions regarding the NL pennant race, giving an edge to the Washington Nationals winning it all. You can find the article here: (http://www.prosportsblogging.com/2012/08/24/from-the-stretch-who-makes-the-playoffs-and-who-wins-it-all-nl/). Today I list my favorites to make the playoffs in the American League while also giving each team their chances of winning the...

From The Stretch: AL All-Star Picks
Posted on 15 Jun 2012 by Connor Callaghan.
Considering how close we're getting to the 2012 All-Star game, I figured it was time to make a case for all those I'm picking to represent the American League(National League will come later). Let's just jump right in: Catcher, Mike Napoli, Rangers: Other than Joe Mauer's ability to hit for contact, no one behind the plate is more productive at the plate than Napoli. Runner up, Joe Mauer, Twi...

When In Rome, Mr. Pujols
Posted on 30 Apr 2012 by Steven Keys.
Change is good, so they say. And ya’ know who likes change? Marketing people like change, so do wet babies, unhappy workers, anyone living near a skateboarder, panhandlers and free agents. That's about it. When Prince Fielder and Albert Pujols made the big change this off-season it wasn’t because they were unhappy campers. Quite the contrary. Both were much loved and rather cozy in their ...

Mike Gonzalez Finally Pitching as Expected- a Year and a Half Later
Posted on 21 Aug 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
Mike Gonzalez was born on May 23rd, 1978 in Robstown, Texas. When the Orioles signed Mike Gonzalez from the Atlanta Braves in December of 2009, the Birds’ front office thought they had finally acquired a dominant left-handed relief specialist with experience on a winning team who could lead the young bullpen. The Pirates draft Gonzalez in the 30th round of the 1997 Major League Draft. Ove...

Red Sox At The Break On Top
Posted on 15 Jul 2011 by "Baseball Brenda" Sepanek.
I apologize for disappearing the last TWO months. The Bruins fully redirected my focus this spring. Not in my wildest dreams did I expect to be sitting at an ice rink deep into June. I was fortunate to attend Game 7 vs. Montreal, Game 4 vs. Philly, Game 2 vs. Tampa Bay and Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals. I got into Game 6 FREE, by being my outgoing self and talking to a stranger next to me at...

Orioles Mid-Season Review
Posted on 13 Jul 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
The Birds are 22-22 at home, but a miserable 14-30 on the road at the half-way point. It’s that time of year again when you see players from opposing leagues and even players in the midst of bitter rivalries (of course I’m talking about the Red Sox and Yankees) come together and spend a couple of days basking in the glory of their superb seasons at the mid-summer classic. Wieters is hitting...

Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
If you are not an Orioles fan and you check the up-to-date wins list in the major leagues, you’ve probably never heard of the Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Jake Arrieta, who is currently tied with 10 other pitchers on the list with nine wins in only his second season in the majors. Jake Arrieta was originally drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 26th round of the 2005 amateur draft, b...

Buck’s Bon Mots
Posted on 6 Aug 2010 by Ron Burr.
Whenever he gives us something worthy of noting, we will be quoting Buck Showalter. Last night, while referring to Torii Hunter's 3 run HR in the top of the 8th that tied the game, Buck dropped the following pearl of wisdom… This is part of playing in the American League. There are some big, strong, hairy guys here who can hit it where the grass doesn't grow. That's part of playing in t...
