Sox outshine Orioles 8-6, reach .500 record
Posted on 21 May 2012 by Erika Leigh.
The last place Red Sox and the first place Baltimore Orioles meet again, but this time, the game was a little easier for Sox fans to watch (and thankfully ended in just 9 innings). More importantly, the Red Sox are finally at .500 for the season. Despite not having the rocket power behind Cody Ross’ bat at the plate, after discovering a navicular bone fracture in his left foot, the Sox manage...

Cody’s Concern: An unfortunate fractured foot
Posted on 21 May 2012 by Erika Leigh.
As if the Red Sox could afford to be any more diminished in their outfield, centerfielder Cody Ross will be placed on the 15-day DL tomorrow, with a navicular bone fracture in his left foot after being struck in the foot with a ball he fouled off at bat during the series again Philadelphia. The Sox are already missing Jacoby Ellsbury (shoulder), Carl Crawford (elbow), Ryan Kalish (shoulder), Da...

Opinion: Interleague Play and the Return of Youk
Posted on 18 May 2012 by Erika Leigh.
With interleague play picking up, you can certainly expect a shakeup in the Sox lineup. In the first series of interleague play, which starts tonight for the Red Sox at 7:05pm, they'll take on the Philadelphia Phillies (20-19) in Philadephia. (Bard (3-4) vs. Hamels (5-1) NESN/CSN). Who's going to play and where? We'll likely see Big Papi perched at 1B, giving Gonzalez some time in the outfield ...

Flair For The Dramatic
Posted on 9 May 2011 by Daniel Lust.
Three Games. Three Victories. How Sweep it is. Finally looking like themselves again, the Giants disposed of Rockies in dramatic fashion. They didn't look like the far superior team, but that's nothing new for this group. All of last year, even during the playoffs, they rarely blew out their opponent. They simply find a way to get the job done. Same Formula. Great pitching coupled with ...

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 ...

The Giants: Not Above Rewarding Mediocrity
Posted on 30 Jan 2011 by Joseph Davis.
Being a fan of major league baseball in the 21st century means one routinely has to bite one’s tongue to keep fully sane. A skill that, through (necessary) practice, I’ve mastered at expert level. I’d hoped the 2000-2001 offseason—an out-of-control sweepstakes for anyone who could play at all (and several who couldn’t)—would be the last time I’d ever have to revisit the bu...

How Misfits And Castoffs Became Champions, Part 3
Posted on 9 Jan 2011 by Joseph Davis.
(sorry for the long delay in getting Part 3 to you readers…sometimes life makes plans FOR us regardless of our own wishes) #47 Chris Ray, Reliever The return from Texas in the Bengie Molina deal, Ray—a once-promising closer for the other Orange-and-Black (Baltimore) who was in his second season after 2008 arm surgery—did a very good job in middle relief that unfortunately may be ...

Giants BATSMEN, 12/3/10
Posted on 3 Dec 2010 by Joseph Davis.
At first I was going to refrain from explanation and let you the readers figure out what BATSMEN meant. Then I had the wise realization you do not come to PSB for riddles; you come to satiate your baseball cravings. BATSMEN is an acronym for the subject matter to be found in BATSMEN columns: (Giants) Birthdays (pretty obvious) Appearances (where our Giant personnel will be visiting) Tune In (w...

Is It Safe To Say Lincecum’s Mechanics Are Okay Now???
Posted on 8 Oct 2010 by Joseph Davis.
Looking back, we’re fortunate Tim Lincecum allowed that leadoff hit to All-Star (stifles laughter) Omar Infante. Took away the drama of the potential no-hitter. I have no doubt that if Timmy had the no-no intact, he wouldn’t have allowed Brian McCann (a genuine All-Star in the past) to hit that double in the 7th. The Braves would have been no-hit, just as the Reds were by the Phillies’ Ro...

Deserving Fish, not fairing well in early All-Star Poll’s
Posted on 26 May 2010 by Keith Kobler.
The voting for the 2010 All-Star game is currently in full swing and once again we are seeing exactly why the voting is more a popularity contest then it is actually for first half's performance. Marlins 2b Dan Uggla, who currently leads the National League with 12 homers and 3B Jorge Cantu, who ranks 4th in the N.L. with 34 RBI's are nowhere to be found at the top of the list of vote getters....

Castro not ready for bigs
Posted on 11 May 2010 by Eddie Kim.
You might be thinking that it's easy for me to say that Starlin Castro is not ready for the major leagues, considering he just came off of a three-error game. But, physical errors are not what I am talking about. Physical errors are inevitable and given Castro's reputation as a good defender, they are not a large cause for concern. However, it's the mental errors which are concerning. After hav...
