Astros trying to hang with the best
Posted on 9 Jun 2011 by Jon Lopez.
After a tough finish to the four game series with the Padres and a tough start against the Cards, the Astros finally get back on track. Bud Norris pitched a gem. Pitching 8 innings and only giving up 1 hit which happened to be a home run for Lance Berkman in the 7th inning. Two wins in a row Bud and another save for Melancon. Bud is looking like he's found his groove and boy do the Astros need ...

Markakis, Reynolds and Scott Struggling for the Birds
Posted on 7 Jun 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
In my last blog post, I argued that the Orioles main problem this season has been their inconsistency at the plate. Now, let’s take a deeper look into three Oriole sluggers (Nick Markakis, Mark Reynolds and Luke Scott) who have not been able to perform on a constant basis which the Birds need to stay in contention and make a possible playoff run. Nick Markakis did not hit under .285 after A...

Orioles Woes Continue, Facing Ex-Oriole Tonight
Posted on 31 May 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
The Orioles five-game winning streak came to a screeching halt as the Birds were swept this past weekend by the Oakland Athletics. Oakland always present problems for Baltimore, no matter how well the A’s are playing but this one stung a bit. Orioles look to continue recent success against 24-27 Oakland A's. This season can be characterized as streaky for the Birds who began the season...

MLB’s Madcap May Madness
Posted on 29 May 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
What in the name of George Herman Ruth is going on in baseball? The Cleveland Indians are still leading the pack (largest margin of any division leader and tied for second-best record in the majors) after two months of play. Eventually someone has to either call them contenders or let Cleveland know that they can’t be playing this well. Mariano Rivera (13 SV, 1.71 ERA and the greatest closer...

Is Jay Bruce the Best Player in the National League?
Posted on 27 May 2011 by Cliff Eastham.
Jay Bruce of the Cincinnati Reds may not be the best player in the league, but he certainly is having one of the best months. Although the Reds are in a nosedive, he has single-handedly tried to carry them on his back. Although the team is only 12-11 in May, Bruce is putting up Pujols-like numbers. In the 23 games so far this month, he is batting .344/.404/.744 with 10 HR and 27 RBI. He is curr...

Have the Yanks Figured it Out?
Posted on 26 May 2011 by Brendan Sennott.
The New York Yankees have seemingly come out of their recent funk. They have now won 7 of 10 games beating the Blue Jays Wednesday afternoon in the Bronx behind two 2-run HR's from Andruw Jones and the solid pitching of Freddy Garcia. This gave the Bombers another series win as they head out to the West Coast for an 11 day 9 game road trip. They sit percentage points ahead of the Red ...

No Hollywood Ending for Braves
Posted on 24 May 2011 by Marcus Young.
The first interleague series for the Braves against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, or whatever they're calling themselves these days, was a pretty big stinker. After only scoring 1 run over the last 30 innings of their 1-6 road trip, the struggling Angels offense suddenly woke up at home and pounded Braves ace Tim Hudson on Friday night en route to a 9-0 blowout. Ervin Santana tossed a...

ZEROES AND ONES (01010011010)
Posted on 18 May 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The rules of binary code dictate that a switch is either on or off. Something is either a 0 or 1 and cannot be both nor neither nor some combinative derivation thereof. In the Phillies case… these are showing up in box scores as number of runs scored per game. It is also what the Phillies offense (or black hole sucking chest wound void where the offense used to be) dictates to Phillies ...

Charlie Morton, Pirates Defeat Astros 6-1
Posted on 7 May 2011 by Justin Welton.
Remember when people around the Pittsburgh area wanted to forget about this guy named Charlie Morton? Remember when people complained about Huntington getting rid of OF Nate McLouth? It turns out, although just maybe, that Huntington has found a gem of a starter. I don’t blame anybody for being worried about Morton’s future. Defending him was easy for me because of how lethal his stuff is. ...

“O” is for … Offense?
Posted on 7 May 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
What will it take before fans and Phillies front office finally listen to the media? For months we have been shouting from the rooftops that we love the Four Aces (Phantastic Phour, etc.) but the offense will have trouble scoring runs. Don’t want to listen? That’s fine. Enjoy your three game offensive orgy against the Washington Sad Sacks (26-20 so far) or the Houston No-Shows (21-11) becau...

EATING RAUL
Posted on 6 May 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
0 for 35 For those who declared Raul Ibanez and/or his career as an everyday major league ballplayer “dead” at the age of 39, guess again. No one would have blamed you when Ibanez was mired in an 0-for-35 slump sporting a sub-Mendoza average with some positively paltry offensive numbers. Was Ibanez simply losing it or was there a nagging injury that he hadn’t told anyone? This is a man wh...

Rockies off to a Fast Start without Ubaldo or Cargo
Posted on 4 May 2011 by Colin Teskey.
I'm happy to finally get the chance to cover such an exciting team like the Colorado Rockies! I began to follow the team closely during their remarkable run to the World Series as a wildcard team in 2007 and followed them closely last September. The Rockies splashed on to the scene last year featuring three outstanding young superstars in Ubaldo Jimenez, Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki. ...
