Has Gregg Been as Effective as the Orioles Thought he Would this Season?
Posted on 24 Jul 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
I can’t speak for all Oriole fans, but I was very excited when I heard over the off-season that Baltimore acquired closer Kevin Greggfrom the Oriole-killer Toronto Blue Jays. I remember Gregg with the Marlins and how effective he was at shutting the door on the opponents. Kevin Gregg was born on June 20th, 1978 in Corvallis, Oregon. Over the last five seasons, Gregg has become one of the st...

Rockies End Roadtrip in Disappointing Fashion – Face Difficult July Schedule
Posted on 28 Jun 2011 by Steve Folsom.
Colorado’s roadtrip began in Cleveland where they took two out of three from the Indians. The Rockies then made their first trip to the New Yankee Stadium and won the first of three. The roadtrip would end with a three-game slide as the Rockies would lose the last two to the Yankees and then lose a make-up game to the Chicago Cubs on Monday afternoon. There were some positives to take awa...

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 ...

Red Sox Over The Hump After Some Major Spring Cleaning
Posted on 20 May 2011 by "Baseball Brenda" Sepanek.
If you told me the Red Sox would have a losing record for the first 39 games of the season, I would have rather put my money on Charlie Sheen getting his job back. If anything, most of us would have picked them to have the best record in baseball. After all, most fans and media had them pegged for a 100+ win season. I, on the other hand, was spotted stating my prediction on the local news on Op...

Rubber game dubyas
Posted on 14 Apr 2011 by Paul Jackson.
Man, I like those rubber game wins a lot more than the losses. After a “buckle your seat belt” victory on Monday and a blow out loss on Tuesday, the Cubs offense and bullpen picked it up in the series finale tonight, clinching a best of three series 2-1 over the division rival Houston Astros. Game 1 was all Cubs and Dempster settled in for the first time this year. The Cubs were cruising 5-...

Better, closer, warmer
Posted on 6 Apr 2011 by Paul Jackson.
Well, the Cubs won their first series of the year. Today at 3:50 central time, J.J. Putz was able to salvage one victory for the Diamondbacks. I guess I should feel better about taking a series but I really felt this opening home stand was a good way to get off on the right foot this season. Before we preview, let’s recap. For Arizona in Game 1 it was a tale of too many men left on base. Will...

So far, off to a bad start
Posted on 4 Apr 2011 by Paul Jackson.
Opening weekend didn’t go as planned for the Cubs. One would think starting the season facing the Pirates and the Diamondbacks would be beneficial to your team’s chances of starting off on the right foot. Think again. The Cubs let a good start slip away in Game 1 of the series. Up 2-0 in the top of the 5th, Ryan Doumit led off the inning with a Single for the Pirates. After a ground out by ...

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...

Quality: A Great Place to Start
Posted on 22 Mar 2011 by Paul Jackson.
As the Cubs started the Spring slate a little over a month ago one of the questions that needed to be answered was in the pitching rotation. With a little over a week left before Opening Day, Mike Quade has a tough choice to make. I liken this choice to the choices those in Washington D.C. have to make. Most of those choices affect a lot of people, if not all. These choices will make some peopl...

MLB 2011: National League Preview
Posted on 19 Mar 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The 2010 season saw the San Francisco Giants win their first World Championship since moving away from New York, 52 years ago. Cincinnati took the central division with a late-season surge to overtake the Cardinals and it seems easy to forget that the San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies were in the race right down to the final day of the regular season. Milwaukee is improved as are the Braves...
