Mile High Altitude Freezes The Snakes
Posted on 15 Apr 2012 by Matthew Hesse.
The Diamondbacks started out hot to start 2012. They swept the Giants at home. Not only that but they beat aces of the Giants: Lincecum, Bumgarner, and Cain. Then they traveled to San Diego and beat out the Padres 2 of the 3 games. Finally they ended this week with a road trip to a cold and windy Denver for their 3 game series with the Colorado Rockies. The Diamondbacks started out the ...

Pittsburgh Pirates: 2012 Season Preview
Posted on 26 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Last year, the city of Pittsburgh got a glimpse of what meaningful baseball feels like in the second half of the season, for the first time in nearly two decades. The Pirates finished the first half of the season, with their eyes set on the NL Central title. All the players were never in this position before, and the youth was a main contributor to the downfall. With the 2012 season less than t...

Pirates Struggle to Find Offense in Loss To Phillies
Posted on 13 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Just last week the Pittsburgh Pirates offense looked like they were in mid-season form. That was not the case in yesterday’s 4-1 defeat to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Pirates were able to squeak out two hits in nine innings, including going 12 up and 12 down against Phillies starter, Vance Worley. The lone bright spot during the game for the Pirates was starter, Charlie Morton, making his ...

Pirates Fall to Phillies on Walk-Off Home Run
Posted on 8 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Michael Dubee was going to be a long shot to make the roster, but the outcome today did not help his slim hopes. Dubee came on to pitch the tenth inning, which was most likely going to be the last inning no matter what. Luis Montanez was the first batter scheduled to face Dubee, and was also the last. Montanez hit a walk-off home run off of Dubee to propel the Philli...

Alvarez, Jones, Marte Homer in Pirates Loss to Jays
Posted on 7 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
For the third time this spring the Pittsburgh Pirates felt defeat to the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays. The real story was how the key pieces of the future progressed. Even in an 8-6 loss, it still felt like a win. One of the bigger stories for the 2012 campaign was how highly-touted third basemen, Pedro Alvarez, will improve his game. Even though it was only one game, the Pirates had to have ...

Jose Tabata, Clint Barmes, Neil Walker, and Andrew McCutchen were the projected opening day starters that were in a...

Offensive Explosion Lifts Pirates Over Orioles
Posted on 6 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Like most teams, The Pittsburgh Pirates looked rusty in their first two spring training games. It takes some time for players to find their rhythm and get acquainted with live action. It looks like the Pirates shook off the rust last night with their 10-3 onslaught of the Baltimore Orioles. In the first two games of the spring, the Pirates got off to a slow start, allowing their opponents to ju...

Bucs Drop Second Straight Against Jays
Posted on 4 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
For the second time in as many days, the Pittsburgh Pirates fell to the Toronto Blue Jays. After taking a 7-1 defeat yesterday, the Buccos returned to Bradenton, only to fall 8-5. One good thing is that it is only Spring Training and these games gives the players and team as a whole an idea on what they need to improve before the games start to count. For the second straight start, a Pirate pit...

A.J., not O.K. with M.O. V.E. to L.A. (A)
Posted on 17 Feb 2012 by Bill Mahoney.
Spring training has arrived! For the Angels, pitchers and catchers report on the 19th. This is going to be one of the more anticipated springs in Tempe in a long time. Adding Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson will do that to a team. From what I heard, the Angels almost added a #5 starter by the name of A.J. Burnett. Burnett, who has been actively shopped by the Yankees, was reportedly coming to th...

Posted on 28 Oct 2011 by Chaz Ingram.
I will preface this article with a request. I ask that you please forgive me in advance if I ramble at any point in this in this article. I am still buzzing from last night’s game six of the World Series and will do my best to deliver an insightful and intellectual article. Game six of the 2011 Fall Classic had so many great moments that I am uncertain as to where to begin this article....

Posted on 16 Sep 2011 by "Baseball Brenda" Sepanek.
For those of you living in a cave, Tim Wakefield became the oldest and only active player in baseball, to record 200 career wins on Tuesday night in front of a very dedicated and patient crowd at Fenway Park. The key word in that run-on sentence is patient. Red Sox Nation waited for this monumental win since the end of July (47 days to be exact). It certainly gives meaning to the phrase, “...
