2011 Colorado Rockies Recap
Posted on 10 Oct 2011 by Steve Folsom.
The 2011 baseball season was an up and down roller coaster ride for fans of the Colorado Rockies. After a long 6-month season, Colorado finished 73-89 and 4th place in the N.L. West. Though it was disappointing for some fans, there are many reasons for optimism going forward. Three reasons for optimism for 2012: Troy Tulowitzki will anchor the Rockies lineup for years to come Colorad...

Braves get a win against Texas
Posted on 19 Jun 2011 by John Morgo.
So far, in this nine-game homestand, the Braves followed the same routine. Lose the first two, win the third. That happened with the Mets, and it happened with the Rangers, as Atlanta sent Texas home with a 4-2 victory. Jair Jurrjens got his ninth win of the same, and the bullpen held it together for Craig Kimbrel to post his 17th save. The homestand wraps up with a three-game set with Toronto,...

Turn Off the Lights Nate
Posted on 2 Jun 2011 by Chris Tolbert.
Nate Schierholtz tied the game in the ninth inning with two outs and hits the go-ahead single in the top of the 11th with two outs. Although Lincecum did have a poor outing, the Giants were actually able to score runs against the Cardinals. One of the things the Giants gained with this victory was Bruce Bochy's confidence in Nate Schierholtz, “His playing time has increased and it wil...

Mariners Magic Month is May
Posted on 1 Jun 2011 by Chase Smith.
Even after a dismal start in the month of April, winning only 13 of 28 games the Mariners have managed to pick up the slack in May winning a total of 15 of the 26 games played (two additional games were postponed due to weather), pushing their overall record above .500 with 28 wins, and 26 losses. True productivity for the M’s in the month of May has not been seen since 2003 when the team acc...

Dirks Could Mean Changing of Guard for Detroit
Posted on 21 May 2011 by Jeremy Klumpp.
The Sunday afternoon game between the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals was supposed to be the major league debut for outfielder Andy Dirks. Mother Nature had other ideas and the game was called due to rain. Dirks would have to wait one more day for his time to begin in the big leagues. In his major league debut on Monday night against the Toronto Blue Jays, Dirks went 1-2 with a walk. With...

ZEROES AND ONES (01010011010)
Posted on 18 May 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The rules of binary code dictate that a switch is either on or off. Something is either a 0 or 1 and cannot be both nor neither nor some combinative derivation thereof. In the Phillies case… these are showing up in box scores as number of runs scored per game. It is also what the Phillies offense (or black hole sucking chest wound void where the offense used to be) dictates to Phillies ...

Rockies off to a Fast Start without Ubaldo or Cargo
Posted on 4 May 2011 by Colin Teskey.
I'm happy to finally get the chance to cover such an exciting team like the Colorado Rockies! I began to follow the team closely during their remarkable run to the World Series as a wildcard team in 2007 and followed them closely last September. The Rockies splashed on to the scene last year featuring three outstanding young superstars in Ubaldo Jimenez, Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki. ...

The Pirates announced the starting rotation and lineup for opening day this past week. The starting rotation looks like this: Kevin Correia Paul Maholm Ross Ohlendorf Charlie Morton James McDonald I don’t know too many people who are willing to say that this rotation is close to average but there is some potential. Maholm could finally breakout and have a good season. Ohlendorf had a horrib...

The Power of “If” for the Mets
Posted on 17 Feb 2011 by Jim Mancari.
“If.” A noun or conjunction: an uncertain possibility, a supposition, in case that, granting or supposing that. The word “if” will hold much significance for the 2011 New York Mets. Let’s start with the positives. If Chris Young returns to his mid-2000s form and if R.A. Dickey pitches similarly to last year, the Mets will not be severely affected by the loss of Johan Santana. If Jas...

CHOOCH FOR MVP
Posted on 22 Sep 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
It was poignant. It was as dramatic a moment as a collision at home plate could be. This was not an All-Star Game, not a World Series clincher, not even a game where a playoff spot was at stake. It was a Friday night game against the Washington Nationals… but it is the epitome of what makes Carlos Ruiz … well… Carlos Ruiz. Not quite a passing of the torch or a gathering of ...
