ABRACADAB-Huh?
Posted on 27 Apr 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
What a difference a week makes. Last weekend the Phillies were enjoying a four-game sweep of the San Diego Padres while Monday and Tuesday smacked them square in the face with surprising losses to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Perhaps there is not as much difference as might be apparent on the surface. The Phillies literally own the Padres at Petco Park (21-4, 23 of 27 in San Diego including 10 str...

Deja Vu x 2
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...

David Lee Day Links
Posted on 10 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Here's what concerns me most about last night's Knicks loss to the Bucks: After Sunday's loss to the Sixers, the talk in the locker room was angry. Raymond Felton talked about how embarrassing the loss was, how they got out hustled and generally outplayed by a team they should beat. That's all well and good. In fact, it was refreshing to hear that kind of candor coming after an early November...

Cubs deal Lilly, Theriot
Posted on 31 Jul 2010 by Eddie Kim.
The emergence of Starlin Castro as the shortstop has created a logjam at second base, so that was one area where the Cubs wanted to move some pieces around. Since the off-season, the Cubs have made their interest in trading Ryan Theriot perfectly clear. Despite being only $800,000 apart in arbitration, the Cubs refused to even negotiate with Theriot and went to arbitration for the first time si...

Who’s dumber: Castro or ESPN?
Posted on 26 Jul 2010 by Eddie Kim.
In the top of the first inning of a game that the St. Louis Cardinals would eventually win 4-3, the Cardinals had Matt Holliday on first base and Ryan Ludwick on third base with two outs. When a pitch by Cubs' starter Ryan Dempster ended up in the dirt, Holliday broke for second. Catcher Geovany Soto pounced on the ball and threw to shortstop Starlin Castro well ahead of Holliday. Knowing that ...

Piniella to retire; looking forward
Posted on 20 Jul 2010 by Eddie Kim.
The Chicago Cubs gave Lou Piniella all of his due respect and then some. In his old age, Piniella has become more senile and less enthusiastic about winning games — a trend that has dramatically grown in the past few years. The Cubs should have cut ties with Piniella halfway through the 2008 season but didn't. That's because the team had the best record in the league, even though that was...

Knicks Move On, Trade Lee to Golden State
Posted on 9 Jul 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Life after Lebron, or LAL, has begun almost as quickly as it ended. Reported first on Wednesday and made official after Lebron jetted his way to Miami, David Lee is now a Golden State Warrior as part of a sign and trade. In return, the Knicks will get Anthony Randolph, Ronny Turiaf, and Kelenna Azubuike. Lee, a fan favorite, was a double – double machine who thrived...

Byrd in, Strasburg out…for now
Posted on 4 Jul 2010 by Eddie Kim.
In a season in which almost all of the Cubs have been underperforming, one guy has been the exception. Though Marlon Byrd is getting paid a modest $3 million in what is the first year of his three-year contract, he has been the most consistent and hardest working player on the team. Byrd, whose highest qualifying season average is .303, was hitting .310 coming into Sunday. His 9 homeruns are on...

Zambrano suspended, team unraveling
Posted on 25 Jun 2010 by Eddie Kim.
It's all too eerily similar to June 1, 2007. On that day, the Cubs had fallen to 22-30 on the year which was good for 7 1/2 games out of first place. But the bigger headline was Cubs' pitcher Carlos Zambrano and catcher Michael Barrett getting involved in a dugout altercation. The day after the incident, manager Lou Piniella was ejected after making a scene by kicking dirt on third-base umpire ...

Lee, Piniella no longer surprising
Posted on 16 Jun 2010 by Eddie Kim.
To say that Derrek Lee has been slipping recently is an understatement. Many have looked to Lee's struggles at the plate this year and have been shocked at his offensive inconsistency; after Tuesday's game, his average is now down to .225. But his defense has also been very lackluster for longer than people think. Due to many people believing that the Gold Glove awards are actually awarded to t...

Piniella, Cubs hand Crew series
Posted on 10 Jun 2010 by Eddie Kim.
The game was tied 4-4 in the top of the eighth inning. The Cubs had two runners on base with just one out in the inning with left-handed hitting left fielder Tyler Colvin due up and the pitcher's spot on deck. At this point, Milwaukee's manager Ken Macha brought in lefty Zach Braddock to put the ball back in Lou Piniella's court. At the time, the Cubs had four guys available off the bench: left...

Can Lee’s 300th turn club?
Posted on 9 Jun 2010 by Eddie Kim.
It's about time. After being held to just 31 runs in the last 11 games, the Cubs touched up Milwaukee's lefty Randy Wolf for eight runs before he was chased in the fifth inning of Wednesday's Cubs' 9-4 win over the Brewers. Derrek Lee led the offensive charge for the team, blasting his first homerun since May 25 and the 300th of his career. Hopefully, getting this milestone homerun off of his b...
