I Feel so Bad!
Posted on 13 May 2013 by Marien Hornyak.
I don’t normally feel bad for professional athletes. They make a ton of money, live the high-life, and don’t usually have to work year-round. But today I’m feeling very badly for both Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez – both starting pitchers had their best stuff of the season this past weekend for the Washington Nationals, but neither player ended up with a win. Stephen Strasburg ...

Posted on 14 Apr 2013 by Daniel Trucios.
They were down by 3 early on and then down to their final strike in the 9th. Somehow, the Giants overcame both of these holes. The San Francisco Giants (9-4) ended up winning a back and forth game against the Chicago Cubs (4-8) in 10 innings 10-7. The Giants were down 4-1 after the 1st inning but managed to take the lead with a 4-run sixth inning partly because of five wild pitches by Edwin Jac...

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-...

Oh, What a Game!
Posted on 6 Apr 2012 by Marien Hornyak.
There’s something about Opening Day that fills a baseball fan with excitement, hope, and anticipation. But a game can also plague a fan with frustration, anger, and even physical symptoms like a headache and indigestion. Yesterday’s Nationals-Cubs game had everything in it – good pitching, decent hitting, a bad call from an umpire, an out at home plate, and a whipping wind that kept w...

Castro’s Disinterest a Disappointing Culmination for the Cubs Season
Posted on 25 Aug 2011 by Kamil Kolodziejski.
CHICAGO – Starlin Castro’s body language explained it all. In the sixth inning during Sunday night’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals, Castro was seen with his back to home plate with no realization that James Russell was delivering a pitch (Video of the play). Whether it was a disinterest or simply forgetting that Russell was about to pitch, it was a symbolic moment. That moment show...
