Posted on 15 Apr 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
In the same old, same old category: The Yankees crushed the Orioles' dreams of 2011 domination and knocked them out of first place in a two-game (rain-shortened) set. New York takes on Texas in a three-game series this weekend in an ALCS rematch against the leaders in the AL West. The Rangers are without Cliff Lee who fled for the Phillies and Josh Hamilton who broke his arm with a head-first s...

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...

Amaro, Manuel Re-Up; First Spring Cuts
Posted on 11 Mar 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Amaro signed through 2013 The good news is that both Ruben Amaro and Charlie Manuel are under contract through 2013. The bad news may be that looming questions regarding Chase Utley, Raul Ibanez, Jimmy Rollins and the Phillies lineup have yet to be answered. Amaro, 46, was in the final year of three-year pact signed after the 2008 season. After serving as an assistant GM to both Ed Wade and Pat...

America: Please Stop Invalidating The Giants’ 2010 Title (And 2011 Chances)
Posted on 9 Mar 2011 by Joseph Davis.
What is it going to take for the Giants to get a little respect? Another championship, apparently. All over the radio, in the papers, on blogs, TV—you name the forum, there are folks who treat the San Francisco Giants’ championship as an aberration, a fluke, a mistake. They don’t use those words, but they don’t have to. The percentage of people betting on the Giants’ repeating is ...

Giants Begin Spring Training 2011
Posted on 19 Feb 2011 by Joseph Davis.
Tell me I am not the only Giants fan who, upon being reminded that pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training February 14th, thought to him/herself: “THIS is the year we finally break that 50-some odd year World Series drought.” When in actuality, the Giants will be seeking to break a 50-some odd week title drought in October 2011. In a lot of ways, for me, it still hasn’t quite sunk...

Aces Wild in Philadelphia
Posted on 18 Feb 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Media, fans and most of the baseball world have been talking about the Phillies pitching staff since right around December 16, 2010 – which was the day that Cliff Lee opted to return to Philadelphia.

“PHOUR LOCO” : Power Ranking the Philadelphia Phillies Starting Rotation
Posted on 24 Jan 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
The Phillies free-agent signing of starting pitcher Cliff Lee sent shockwaves throughout the country. Lee was supposed to bolt to the Yankees or stay with the Rangers. In the biggest swerve of the offseason, Lee decided to return to the City of Brotherly Love. Philadelphia already had the Big Three of Roy Halladay, Cole Hamels and Roy Oswalt. Now it’s the Big Four, or whatever monike...

Blanton Must Go – Now More Than Ever
Posted on 13 Jan 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
It was announced yesterday that the Philadelphia Phillies have shown interest in signing right handed pitcher John Maine. The team has allegedly had discussions with Maine's agent Rex Gary. Could former Mets John Maine be a Phillie? Maine is a decent pitcher in the back end of rotations. Over his career Maine has posted a 41-36 record with a 4.35 ERA in 105 starts. It would make sense t...

Maybe I Will…STAND BY ZITO (Part Two)
Posted on 23 Dec 2010 by Joseph Davis.
(continued) …ESPECIALLY when you realize Cliff Lee, the 2011 free agent headliner, is 102-61, 3.85 in his career, with a WHIP slightly higher than Zito’s when he hit the market. Unlike Zito, Lee HAS missed starts due to injury; several of them. Oh—and he is four years older than Zito was! It amazes me that hardly anyone acknowledges the statistical similarities between the two, or ev...
