Cespedes vs. Darvish and Other Spring Goodies
Posted on 5 Mar 2012 by Josh Muller.
Cespedes Signs: Yoenis Cespedes arrived in Phoenix on Saturday and after passing his physical, the 4-year $36 million contact he agreed to with the Oakland Athletics became official. Finally. I’m always anxious about contract negotiations or trades until they are finalized because it always seems to good to be true when the A’s get any player of value. It’s a good day for A’s fans, who ...

It’s Still Early, But…
Posted on 5 Mar 2012 by Marien Hornyak.
I am a very competitive person. I get very upset when my husband beats me at Scrabble® (which seldom happens, but when it does, my whole night is ruined!). I bask in the glory of a good double play or when a catcher tags a player out before he reaches home plate. I yell at the television when a pitcher is removed from a game prenaturely. It is because of my competitive nature that I am...

What to Watch for This Spring
Posted on 8 Feb 2012 by Josh Muller.
Well, the Super Bowl is finally over which means we can all focus our attention now on a real sport. It’s less than two weeks before pitchers and catchers report to spring training and I, for one, can’t wait. I’m not sure how optimistic I can really get this year about my team’s performance specifically, but I can never hide my excitement around this time of year. IT’S BASEBALL! What ...

2011 Cy Young Predictions, Rookies too
Posted on 26 Mar 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
As it appears this final week of Spring Training, the Cy Young races will eventually prove that the 2010 voting was more accurate than most realize. Historically, Cy Young voting has been predicated on a very simple set of stats – wins, tempered with ERA and IP. In 2010 Felix Hernandez won the Cy Young Award for a last place team – which has happened only a couple times in history (...

Jordany Valdespin: New York Mets Future at Secons Base?
Posted on 26 Feb 2011 by Jim Mancari.
Despite their extra-innings tie, it was great to see some New York Mets baseball today. The Mets came from behind to tie the Atlanta Braves, 5-5 in their opening spring training game at Digital Domain Park in Port St. Lucie. While the scores really mean nothing in spring training, it's the performance of players on the cusp that really makes a difference. Some of today's positives include Fer...

Posted on 3 Feb 2011 by Jim Mancari.
Spring training is less than two weeks ago. Though the New York Mets offseason has been mired by a lack of finances and now the money schemes of the owners, there is still much to look forward to this upcoming season. If a few things fall into place simultaneously, who knows what we will be saying about this team in a few months? They have talent and now appear to finally have some leadership...

Win One for Bobby
Posted on 24 Mar 2010 by Bill Furey.
So 2009 wasn't all that it was cracked up to be for Atlanta finishing 86-76, and missing the post season for the fourth consecutive season. A new year means new hope across the league, and for the Braves it's no different. With Bobby Cox in his 25th, and final season managing the team you better believe that the buzz around the club house is to the tune of ” Win one for Bobby”. Cox ...

Finally the world is coming around to my point of view…
Posted on 15 Mar 2010 by Ron Burr.
So I have been saying for a while now that this team is NOT the giant pile of stink that they have been for most of the last 10 years, that Andy MacPhail does in fact know what he is doing, and that even having to play almost 25% of our games against two of the monsters of the sport (Yankees and Red Sox) this team is going to flirt with .500 and be in line for a playoff spot next year. And ev...
