O’s win the White Sox series as well as set new individual milestones
Posted on 30 Aug 2012 by Brendan Keelan.
The O's needing a win before heading to the Big Apple to face the Yankees in their next series won today by a score of 5-3 over the White Sox. Baltimore won the series over the Chicago three games out of four and six games out of eight for the season series, the best the Orioles have ever done against the White Sox in a season since 1999 (7-3). Many Oriole players stood out in this game and ach...

Despite the fact that Thorne constantly jinxed the O’s with talk about streaks, the O’s break club records
Posted on 27 Aug 2012 by Brendan Keelan.
Baltimore Orioles fans have sore knuckles after having to knock on wood several times due to O's TV announcer Gary Thorne on MASN (Mid-Atlantic Sports Network) jinxing Baltimore in this game by talking about the team's different winning streaks before the game was over. When you are the visiting team's announcer at the game and you talk about the other teams streaks in attempt to jinx them that...

Posted on 27 Aug 2012 by Connor Callaghan.
A few days ago I posted my predictions regarding the NL pennant race, giving an edge to the Washington Nationals winning it all.

Jays win; head to break at .500
Posted on 9 Jul 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
Like any statistic in baseball, winning percentage isn’t always the full picture of a team or truly indicative of what they will do. The Blue Jays entered 2012 with higher expectations set by themselves (and by the fans and media) than in any other recent season. To say that making it to the All-Star Break at .500 is a let-down, doesn’t really take into account how well the Jays played amid...

Jays lose 2nd straight
Posted on 7 Jul 2012 by Amanda Tallon.
Friday night’s loss for the Jays was a combination of one inning of shaky defense and facing pitching that was just good enough to stop their hitting. Aaron Laffey pitched well in his six innings of work even though he gave up four runs, three of them earned, on eight hits. With his team up by a run, Laffey gave up a double and two singles to the White Sox to start of the home half of the fif...

From The Stretch: AL All-Star Picks
Posted on 15 Jun 2012 by Connor Callaghan.
Considering how close we're getting to the 2012 All-Star game, I figured it was time to make a case for all those I'm picking to represent the American League(National League will come later). Let's just jump right in: Catcher, Mike Napoli, Rangers: Other than Joe Mauer's ability to hit for contact, no one behind the plate is more productive at the plate than Napoli. Runner up, Joe Mauer, Twi...

Tigers Beat White Sox With Pitching
Posted on 6 May 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.
After Saturday's heartbreaker of a loss to the Chicago White Sox the Tigers needed to bounce back quickly. They did exactly that behind a solid pitching performance from Rick Porcello (3-2), and three solo home runs. The White Sox half of the first inning seemed to pick up where they left off yesterday when Adam Dunn hit another home run to right field. It was his ninth home run of the season,...

Walk-Off Win for Tigers
Posted on 4 May 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.
Jhonny Peralta picked a great time to hit his first home run of the season. The Tigers shortstop fouled off three pitches from Chicago White Sox reliever Matt Thornton (1-1) before belting a game-winning two-run home run to right field. Most of the game was dominated by the pitching of starters Drew Smyly for the Tigers, and Jake Peavy for the White Sox. Smyly threw 99 pitches surrendering onl...

Phil Humber throws 21st Perfect Game in MLB history.
Posted on 21 Apr 2012 by Sean McCabe.
I woke up today and saw that the White Sox vs the Mariners was one of the two games being shown nationally this Saturday on Fox. This struck me as odd since both of these teams, for lack of a better word, stink. Neither have any superstars to speak of unless you want to lump in King Felix in Seattle. Then Phil Humber showed up and fired a perfect game. The 29 year old journey man became the 2...

Gerald Laird (Yes, Gerald Laird) Helps Tigers Avoid Sweep
Posted on 16 Apr 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.
When the Tigers re-signed Gerald Laird in the off-season it was to be the back-up to Alex Avila. Laird would spell Avila once a week, usually against left-handed pitching. He was not supposed to be the offensive spark ending losing streaks. On Sunday afternoon, Laird erupted at the plate, going 3-4 with a home run and double while helping the Tigers, and Rick Porcello beat the Chicago White So...

Troy Tulowitzki is putting up monster numbers since the All-Star break for the Colorado Rockies.

Posted on 22 Jul 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
Minnesota Twins writer Jonathan Fawkes and Kansas City Royals writer Ryan Riordan join me to discuss the wild AL Central race. Can the Indians continue this pace? Will Detroit finally take the Central after a few heartbreaks in the past couple of seasons? Can Chicago and Minnesota get back in the race? We will offer our opinions as to how we think the AL Central will play out. http://www.talk...
