Posted on 27 Aug 2012 by Connor Callaghan.

You can find the article here: (http://www.prosportsblogging.com/2012/08/24/from-the-stretch-who-makes-the-playoffs-and-who-wins-it-all-nl/).

Orioles woes worsen both on the pitcher’s mound and in the batter’s box
Posted on 25 Jul 2012 by Brendan Keelan.
Tonight's game between the Orioles and Rays was a painful game to watch that ended in a 10-1 score in favor of the Rays. It became ugly right from the first pitch of the game from the O's Miguel Gonzalez to the Rays Desmond Jennings. Jennings hit a lead off home run on the first pitch out of Gonzalez' hand. The game did not get any better for the O's on offense nor on defense. Gonzalez left ear...

TEXAS RANGERS ALDS PREVIEW
Posted on 30 Sep 2011 by George Kouvalis.
The Texas Rangers go into the 2011 MLB Playoffs as favorites this year. Last year the Rangers flew under the radar as underdogs, this time around anything less than a World Series Title will not be good enough in Arlington. The Texas/Tampa ALDS rematch series will have some bite to it. Tampa is still upset over last year's loss to Texas and will be out for revenge. Meanwhile, the Range...

Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
If you are not an Orioles fan and you check the up-to-date wins list in the major leagues, you’ve probably never heard of the Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Jake Arrieta, who is currently tied with 10 other pitchers on the list with nine wins in only his second season in the majors. Jake Arrieta was originally drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 26th round of the 2005 amateur draft, b...

New Label, Same Great Taste: Early Season Review of Your 2011 Tampa Bay Rays
Posted on 13 May 2011 by Nick Blanchard.
Since coming back from a left oblique strain that landed him on the DL, Longoria has hit .310/.429/.655 in 9 May games. Tampa Bay has gone 7-2 since his return. 2011 has been a story of resiliency for the Tampa Bay Rays thus far. They opened the season losing 6 straight games and dropping their first three series (BAL, LAA, CHW). To compound the defeats, they also lost their star third baseman...

Bats Go Silent in Tampa
Posted on 5 May 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened Even though strong pitching from Jo-Jo Reyes, Brandon Morrow and Kyle Drabek kept the club in the series and even earned them a win, the Jays (14-17) simply couldn’t generate enough offence against a tough Rays’ pitching staff. With Jose Bautista still out and the Blue Jays boasting precious little in offensive depth, Toronto offered up a hot Adam Lind and not much else agains...

Texas Rangers vs Tampa Bay Rays GAME 5 Preview
Posted on 12 Oct 2010 by George Kouvalis.
So its finally time. October baseball, one game to decide who moves and who advances. Is there anything else better in sports than one game to decides who advances in a playoff series? But tonight means a little more to both teams. The Tampa Bay Rays had been the favorite to win this ALDS easily much like the Yankees did theirs, to set up a potential last team standing series against e...

Rangers use poise and pitching to win game one
Posted on 6 Oct 2010 by George Kouvalis.
One foul tip. That's it. Momentum gone from having the bases loaded with one out and up one run to the count going 2-2 and leading to Cliff Lee striking out Carlos Pena and Rocco Baldelli to end the first inning. Lee goes on cruise control for seven innings (7.0 IP, 5 hits, 1 ER and 10K's) and leaves with a four run lead and poof that's the turning point of the game. Quite amazing to ...

Bombers’ Big Showdown (Round 1) in Tampa
Posted on 13 Sep 2010 by Stephanie Geosits.
With a half-game lead on the Rays, the Yankees open arguably their biggest series of the year thus far Monday in Tampa. The battle of the Cy Young contenders, CC Sabathia and David Price, kicks things off. Sabathia is gunning for win number 20 while Price is playing catchup, at 17 wins currently. The bad news for the Yankees is that Sabathia was atrocious in his last outing against the Orioles...
