Sheffield Declares Himself Fit & Ready

4 AB’s in AAA and he’s ready to roll.  Maybe it was the pride getting the better of himself?  Maybe he really is ready; regardless, Yankees outfielder Gary Sheffield has officially declared himself ready, willing and able to head back to Boston for tonight’s game.
Is he ready?  I guess we’ll see.  I imagine so, but […]

Big Hurt Still Puts On A Big Hurt

Two dingers in his first game back.  A home run in his first at-bat in an Oakland jersey, not bad Frank Thomas, not bad at all.
The real fireworks, however, took place behind the scenes as Thomas was greeting all his old teammates in the clubhouse before the game; after greeting all his old players, he […]

Pujols Smacks 22nd!

Good Lord is that man on a roll.  That’s right folks, big Al Pujols hit his Major League leading 22nd home run this weekend.  This marks the 3rd straight game that Pujols has hit a home run and I’m sure those bombs had a great deal to do with the fact that the Cardinals just […]

First Beltway Battle

Oooh man do I love regional rivalries.  I love the Subway Series and even though they aren’t geographically close, I Love the Sox/Yanks rivalry.  I guess I just love when two teams generate a buzz around their playing each other.  Yep, that’s happening again, this time with the Nationals and the Orioles squaring off for […]

Is 50 Games Fair for Delmon Young?

Here’s a great place to sound off on this whole fiasco.  Over at ESPN.com they have a poll up and running with 7 questions that probe into the public opinion about punishments in sports, and the Young case in particular.
Personally, and I might get blasted for this one, I think he should have been suspended […]

Trouble Runs In Young Family

First we get Tampa Bay’s top prospect Delmon Young chucking a bat at an umpire, punishment still pending, and now, his older/wiser, Detroit Tigers brother Dmitri Young is in trouble too…this time it’s a little more serious and spans a lot further outside of baseball ramifications.
According to reports, Young allegedly choked his former girlfriend, and […]

Lucky Number 13 For Orioles

Well, if it were up to me, the streak would still be going at 14, but I guess some things are not meant to be.  That’s right, with Orioles pitcher Erik Bedard pitching 7 great innings, the O’s snapped a 13-game losing streak to the Red Sox.  Guess who helped?  Ex-Red Sox Kevin Millar.
Millar hit […]

Bonds Gets More Applause Getting Hit

I think it’d be kinda sad to be Barry Bonds right now; imagine hearing more cheers and applause than you’ve heard in months, only to realize those cheers are coming because you just got hit by a pitch.
The applause wasn’t really aimed at Bonds, more at Russ Springer after he threw one pitch behind Bonds, […]
