Cleveland “squeeze” a win over Detroit, Does this mean there a chance of Playoffs??
Posted on 25 Jul 2012 by Luke Lovekin.
Cleveland managed to pull a proverbial rabbit out of the hat today against Detroit to come away with the spoils. The scorebook will say the score was 3 – 2 in favour of the Tribe today and Joe Smith takes the win and Doug Fister charged with the loss but those who watched today will tell a slightly different story. Ubaldo Jiminez pitched 6 scoreless innings today in one of his better showin...

From 94-68 to 35-45: What Happened? (2011 Twins Recap)
Posted on 2 Jul 2011 by Jonathan Fawkes.
Following an impressive 94-win season in their first year at Target Field the Minnesota Twins were able to capture their 6th AL Central title in 9 years under Ron Gardenhire. Although it led to yet another first round defeat at the hands of the Evil Empire, expectations remained high surrounding a 2011 Twins team bringing back its most important franchise pieces along with a reconstructed ...

Welcome Back, Jack

õîááèò èëè òóäà è îáðàòíî TAMPA BAY — With the team slipping from his control more and more every day — and amid a season-high 10-game losing streak — Edwin Rodriguez decided Sunday morning that he had seen enough. The soft-spoken Marlins manager notified Larry Beinfest and others within the organization of his resignation shortly before the Marlins we...

Braves try to get a win versus the Mets
Posted on 16 Jun 2011 by John Morgo.
Right now, it's the top of the seventh, and the Braves and Mets are tied at 6. Atlanta lost the first two games of this series and are trying for a win before the Texas Rangers show up for an interleague matchup in the Ted. I was at the game on Tuesday, and I'll like to thank WXIA's sports Fred Kalil for sponsoring me at the game. Long story short, I was high bid at an auction for the privilege...

Consistency: Always a Problem for the Birds
Posted on 5 Jun 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
I am an avid Baltimore Orioles fan and have been ever since I attended my first Oriole game at Camden Yards back in the late 1990’s. I anxiously wait all winter for the grass to grow and the freezing cold air to turn into a nice spring breeze as I pray for a winning season in Baltimore. But, every year since I began tracking the team like a hawk, they’ve failed to have a winning season le...

Arizona Still Red Hot
Posted on 28 May 2011 by Matthew Hesse.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have been on a roll since the middle of May. First they finished off the Twins for a sweep to give them a 6 game win streak for the first time since 2008. Then it was time for a road trip against the 2nd place Colorado Rockies. Can't miss, right? The D’Backs lost the first game 12-4. Streak ended. Arizona would come crashing down and we would see the D’Backs o...

Their names aren’t Cy, but the Angels don’t like the A’s young pitchers.
Posted on 25 May 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
When I said the Oakland A's would win the AL West, I based it on their starting pitching. You know, Trevor Cahill, Brian Anderson, Gio Gonzalez & Dallas Braden. I didn't factor in Josh Outman or Guillermo Moscoso. Either did the Angels, who treated both of them like they were Cy Young candidates. Those two threw a combined 13 innings, allowing just 8 hits and 1 earned run. Don't the Angels ...

Mavs Get the Mortal Kombat Win
Posted on 24 May 2011 by Alexei Wall.
The Dallas Mavericks are on a road winning streak of historic proportions in this year's playoffs and take a commanding 3-1 lead in the Western Conference finals. This run by the Mavs has been fueled by the one thing that has always been lacking for this team in this millennium and that's a commitment to focusing on defense first. The game 4 win in OKC on Monday night is what I term a “mo...

Baseball’s Top 10 Records
Posted on 7 May 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
On Friday night, Andre Ethier of the Los Angeles Dodgers ran his hitting streak to 30 games, the highest total since Jimmy Rollins hit in 35 straight in 2005. While the attention on Ethier's hit streak has garnered a lot of attention – and rightfully so – he is still 26 games short of Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak in 1941. Will Ethier reach DiMaggio's record? More than...

Mariners: All About Pitching
Posted on 5 May 2011 by Ken Heinrich.
Batting .200 Milton Bradley is among many Mariners struggling at the plate. The Mariners finished their 2010 season on a five game losing streak, good enough for 101 losses and 29 games out of first in the AL West. While winning their first two games of 2011 was a good start it only helped to set up the disappointment to come. The Mariners proceeded to lose 11 of their next 13, jumping out ...

Starting the Slide
Posted on 29 Apr 2011 by Paul Jackson.
Let’s be honest, the Cubs look bad right now. Since my last post, in which I mentioned the Cubs ability to stay without a losing streak this season, the Cubs have lost three, part of a four game losing streak. The Cubs were swept by the Rockies in a rain shortened two game series this week. Matt Garza has actually been pitching better as of late, but was the victim of a Cubs’ four-error gam...

Vintage Colon halts Bombers’ losing streak
Posted on 28 Apr 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
Newsflash! The New York Yankees' two-game losing streak, their longest of the year, is over thanks to yet another remarkable performance from seasoned righty Bartolo Colon. In an eight-inning, seven hit performance, Colon held the White Sox to just one run and struck out six. He looked nothing like a pitcher who sat out all of last season and more like the Cy Young Award winner in 2005. Colon ...
