MLB Family Feud ’13
Posted on 29 Mar 2013 by Steven Keys.
Wherever people cluster there are bound to be skirmishes. At the dinner table, school, the workplace, your barber shop, …any place people come together. It’s human nature: different brain-matter, different opinions and then the verbal wrangling ensues. Sometimes the tension runs like an undercurrent, out of public view. The conflicts that spring up can be as measured as a bow-shot at sea or...

Mr. Smith Goes to Palookaville
Posted on 1 Mar 2013 by Steven Keys.
“Babe Ruth is the biggest runner-up in history.” That’s what the man said, Babe Ruth, a runner-up. Words from the mouth of sport opinionator Stephen A. Smith last Monday co-hosting with Skip Bayless on ESPN’s hip-hoppin’ morning show “First Take.” I don’t take-in “First Take” but rarely these days, having been a regular until producers decided the popular show needed fixing ...

One Giant Leap for San Fran-kind
Posted on 29 Oct 2012 by Steven Keys.
California and baseball, they were made for each other. They go together like hot dogs & mustard, guacamole & chips, politics & debate. Kismet. Long before Walter O’Malley (Dodgers) and Horace Stoneham (Giants) moved their New York business interests cross-country to the Golden State (‘58), the game of baseball was already well-situated on the Pacific Coast, producing such gems ...

MLB ’12: Year of the Skipper
Posted on 8 Oct 2012 by Steven Keys.
Whine-fest ‘12 Baseball’s celebratory red, white & blue banners still had creases in ‘em Friday night when one of its post-season entrants was quickly bounced from the festivities amid another firestorm of controversy surrounding game-officiating. This time it was MLB umpires, not referees, in the media cross-hairs getting lambasted after the Cardinals – Braves one & done, w...

DayGame World Series, Sir Selig?
Posted on 26 Sep 2012 by Steven Keys.
If you’re reading this you’re a sports fan and know all about ESPN’s college “GameDay.” It’s not my cup o’ tea (that outdoor-set, with its screaming fans, really red-lines my annoying-meter), but the name, that works just fine. So, for purposes of this baseball piece, just flip that title and make it DayGame World Series 2013. That’s my dream, anyway. It’s been over a quarter-...

Ryan Howard Lifts Phillies Late Over Diamondbacks
Posted on 6 Aug 2012 by Matt LaCoille.
Ryan Howard has struggled since returning from the DL a short time ago, but with a walk off single in the ninth to give the Phillies the win on Sunday afternoon, has to help his confidence moving forward. “It's just been a timing issue,” said Howard, who is batting .208 in 23 games since being activated from the DL. “I've been kind of in between, start too late, start too earl...

Braves Beat Halladay And Phillies For Second Season Sweep
Posted on 30 Jul 2012 by Matt LaCoille.
The Atlanta Braves have had the Phillies number this month with two straight sweeps and six straight wins over their NL East rivals. The Braves topped the Phillies 6-2 Sunday afternoon with another strong pitching performance, this time from veteran Tim Hudson, only allowing two runs in a little over five innings of work. A collective effort of relievers for the Braves kept the lead for the rem...

Hamels Celebrates New Contract With Loss To Atlanta
Posted on 28 Jul 2012 by Matt LaCoille.
After just two days with his 144 million dollar contract, Cole Hamels had arguably the worst start of his career. After just four weeks after signing his minor league contract, Braves pitcher Ben Sheets continues to dazzle with his third straight victory. Sheets, who missed all of last season due to Tommy John surgery, is just trying to do his part on a Braves team that is within striking dista...

Cleveland “squeeze” a win over Detroit, Does this mean there a chance of Playoffs??
Posted on 25 Jul 2012 by Luke Lovekin.
Cleveland managed to pull a proverbial rabbit out of the hat today against Detroit to come away with the spoils. The scorebook will say the score was 3 – 2 in favour of the Tribe today and Joe Smith takes the win and Doug Fister charged with the loss but those who watched today will tell a slightly different story. Ubaldo Jiminez pitched 6 scoreless innings today in one of his better showin...

Jimmy Rollins Puts Phillies Past Giants In Twelve Innings
Posted on 23 Jul 2012 by Matt LaCoille.
The Phillies were able to avoid a seven game home losing streak Sunday afternoon with the help of timely hitting from their longtime shortstop Jimmy Rollins. Rollins helped his team walk off with a victory with a single in twelfth inning to break the deadlock against Giants' pitcher Brad Penny. “I always look forward to it,” Rollins said about clutch situations. “I've faced Br...

Hamels Dominates Rockies, Leads Phillies to Victory
Posted on 16 Jul 2012 by Matt LaCoille.
Obviously all the trade rumors swirling around Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels are not affecting his performance of late for the Phillies. Hamels has gone at least seven innings in each of his last five starts, all in which have been quality starts for his struggling team. For this Sunday game against the Rockies, Hamels continued his dominance with an eight inning spectacle, allowing only one ea...

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...
