Bullpen lets Brewers down again
Posted on 5 Jul 2012 by Jeff Knier.
Despite winning four of their past five games, much uncertainty remains in the Brewers bullpen. A day after blowing a 9-2 lead through 6 innings only to be saved by an Aramis Ramirez walk-off two-run homer in the 10th inning, the Brewers bullpen struggled again last night. Starter Randy Wolf gave up a game-tying three run homer in the 7th inning to tie the game at 5-5. The Brewers got a run...

Several of the “big names” have splashed around in the headlines establishing the market pricing. Now teams and players alike take their wish lists to Santa Claus only to realize that jolly old Saint Nick is powerless amid the face of supply and demand. There are o...

Winter Meetings Cascade Effect on Philadelphia Experiment
Posted on 5 Dec 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Believers in giving one for the old ball team may disagree but logic, reason and all manner of pragmatism should permit the pedestrian Phillies fan to believe that Jimmy Rollins may not be back. In fact, it is entirely possible that the likes of Roy Oswalt, Raul Ibanez, Ross Gload, Ryan Madson and Brad Lidge have seen their last days in a Phillies uniform. While the Winter Meetings mark the on...

After catching flak, Angels stopped chatting and finally did some dealing
Posted on 30 Nov 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
Yes, I haven't written much on the Halos lately. Not because I don't care, far from it, it's just that they had done nothing. That's not entirely true, as they did hire Matt Klentak as their assistant GM. The 31 year old whiz kid was pretty much the only news the Halos made of late. That all changed Wednesday afternoon, when the Angels sent pitcher Tyler Chatwood to the Colorado Rockies for cat...

Aramis Ramirez to Cubs, “I can’t be here for a rebuilding process”
Posted on 23 Sep 2011 by Kamil Kolodziejski.
CHICAGO – Aramis Ramirez has decided to test the free agency market after the season seeking a multi-year deal. Currently, the Chicago Cubs have the option to pay $16 million next season to Ramirez if he decides to stay. Ramirez though, is looking for a team that can compete so that he can play for a contender for a couple more years. Aramis’ agent Paul Kinzer told the Chicago Tribune, R...

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...

Symptoms of Brain Tumor
Posted on 11 Jul 2011 by Jon Melton.
Òðè áîãàòûðÿ íà äàëüíèõ áåðåãàõ ôèëüì Symptoms of Brain Tumor All forms of brain tumor are serious, but if someone is diagnosed with a brain tumor, it is better to have benign brain tumor symptoms, rather than metastatic (cancerous) ones, because that means their particular tumor has not resulted in a cancerous growth. Unlike other symptoms of brain tumor-which ...

External Options for Upgrading the A’s Offense
Posted on 29 May 2011 by Josh Muller.
Last week I discussed some in-house options for the A’s struggling offense and highlighted the prospects that I think would fulfill the biggest need for the big club. While graduating some minor leaguers might be the quickest and easiest solution to the A’s offensive woes, you can be sure Billy Beane and the A’s are exploring any and every avenue with which to improve the team. In fact I ...

Brewers Back To .500
Posted on 10 Apr 2011 by Scott Johnston.
When you start the season 0-4, you take things one thing at a time. I know that’s cliché, but you really do want to win four games in one, and that’s not possible. You have to win, and then win again, and keep it up until you right the ship. Today, Casey McGehee righted the ship, and got the Brewers back to .500 with one swing of the bat. A 2-run shot off the Cubs Kerry Wood in the bottom ...

Pirates: 18 Years Of Losing…..
Posted on 3 Apr 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
Everyone wants to see their favorite team win. It's as simple as that. If the team wins, the fans will come out and cheer. For the Pittsburgh Pirates, they have had a problem with that simple formula for the past 18 seasons, as it is well known that they have endured losing seasons over each of those years. There are people in college right now that have never experienced a winning seas...

Playyyyyyy Balllllllllll!
Posted on 31 Mar 2011 by Paul Jackson.
It is MLB Opening Day and I’m enjoying the Yankees and Tigers on ESPN as I write. It’s one day before Chicago Cubs opening day at Wrigley against the Pirates. As I prepare to watch this season, Mike Quade has had to make some final tweaks to the roster in preparation to play and has shown a willingness to let the youth step in and take over. Blake Dewitt failed to show up this Spring, despi...

Defense Wins Championships
Posted on 11 Mar 2011 by Paul Jackson.
As I speak… err, type, the Cubs are getting set to open up the second half of Spring Training facing the South-Siders. I’m left wondering why it is so difficult these days to catch a Spring Training game. There are streams online, video and audio I know, but is it just me or was it way easier ten or fifteen years ago to follow the MLB’s exhibition season? I know it doesn’t really matter...
