When In Rome, Mr. Pujols
Posted on 30 Apr 2012 by Steven Keys.
Change is good, so they say. And ya’ know who likes change? Marketing people like change, so do wet babies, unhappy workers, anyone living near a skateboarder, panhandlers and free agents. That's about it. When Prince Fielder and Albert Pujols made the big change this off-season it wasn’t because they were unhappy campers. Quite the contrary. Both were much loved and rather cozy in their ...

Diamondbacks on the Brink of Elimination, Don’t Count Them Out
Posted on 3 Oct 2011 by Matthew Hesse.
The script is set in Arizona. Arizona is now down 2-0 in the NLDS against the Milwaukee Brewers. Just about every MLB analyst is drinking the Brew Crew Kool-Aid. The question is can the Brewers close out the series or can the Diamondbacks pull off the unthinkable? Sunday the Diamondbacks looked to even the series. The Brewers had different plans. The Brewers score 2 runs in the 1st in...

Mike Gonzalez Finally Pitching as Expected- a Year and a Half Later
Posted on 21 Aug 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
Mike Gonzalez was born on May 23rd, 1978 in Robstown, Texas. When the Orioles signed Mike Gonzalez from the Atlanta Braves in December of 2009, the Birds’ front office thought they had finally acquired a dominant left-handed relief specialist with experience on a winning team who could lead the young bullpen. The Pirates draft Gonzalez in the 30th round of the 1997 Major League Draft. Ove...

Rockies End Roadtrip in Disappointing Fashion – Face Difficult July Schedule
Posted on 28 Jun 2011 by Steve Folsom.
Colorado’s roadtrip began in Cleveland where they took two out of three from the Indians. The Rockies then made their first trip to the New Yankee Stadium and won the first of three. The roadtrip would end with a three-game slide as the Rockies would lose the last two to the Yankees and then lose a make-up game to the Chicago Cubs on Monday afternoon. There were some positives to take awa...

Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Alex Van Rees.

Padres Struggle Early On
Posted on 4 May 2009 by Josh Hoffman.
As the Los Angeles Dodgers concluded their series sweep of the San Diego Padres on Sunday afternoon at Dodgers Stadium, one thing stood out above all: the Padres have some much-needed work to do if they want to fathom contending in the NL West, let alone end their five-game skid. Sure, the Padres have only played about 15 percent of the 162-game schedule but, already 6.5 games back of the NL ...

In the cellar…
Posted on 25 Apr 2009 by Josh Lile.
Now I realize the season is still young, but the Astros are sitting in the cellar of the NL Central. Yes, behind the Pirates. Most remarkable though is that they have the 2nd most losses in the major leagues, tied with Cleveland at 11, behind the Nationals. Why, you may ask, are the Astros in the cellar? I'll give you two numbers: .320, .387. These respectively are the Astros team OBP an...

Closing Time
Posted on 24 Mar 2009 by Sandy Gemmiti.
Welcome back Cubs fans! Hopefully 2009 is “the year”..I recall starting off last season saying pretty much the exact same thing but I will save my speech for the start of the season.
