Utley Extends Hit Streak To 31

Chase Utley is Chasing History.  Last night he extended his hit-streak to 31 games and today he’s going for 32.
31 games in a row with a hit puts Utley at the longest streak this year in the majors and he is only (only, haha) 25 games away from tying Joe DiMaggio’s record of 56. Will […]

Indians Get Belliard

In a trade that says, “our infield needs some help,” the Cardinals have acquired some…Ronnie Belliard is now a St. Louis Cardinal and the price they paid was Hector Luna.
Seeing as though Luna wasn’t very productive at the plate, the Cardinals, leading the NL-Central, thought Belliard would give them some stability both in the field […]

Mariners-Indians Make Interesting Trade

If Ben Broussard does what he SHOULD do, the Mariners will be extremely happy.  They haven’t exactly had a lot of success in the DH department this year and with Broussard hitting .312 overall and .362 against right-handers, the left-handed DH should add a LOT of pop to the lineup.
The trade didn’t come for free, […]

Harold Reynolds FIRED?! NO!

Look, if he did it, he should be fired, but if he didn’t, I’m pretty furious.  That’s right, Harold Reynolds, one of the last not-excruciatingly annoying announcers at ESPN, was fired yesterday due to a sexual harassment claim of a woman co-worker.
Reynolds claims he hugged her and she mis-interpreted it, the woman claims sexual harassment, […]

Shilling Gets His 13th Win

The Red Sox keep rolling along, thankfully, and part of that success is due to old ace Curt Shilling.
He just got his 13th win, and I’ve got to say, I was worried before the season started as to how he’d perform this year.  Apparently he’s put my worries to rest because at 13 wins already, […]

Showalter Leaves Hospital

Good news for Rangers fans as well as just people who don’t like to see other people in the hospital…Manager Bucky Showalter was released from the hospital today.
Sent in for irregular heartbeats, Showalter had to miss yesterdays game, marking it only the 3rd game in his history with the Rangers he’d ever missed.  3 Games […]

D. Lee Back to D.L.

Man, how would you feel if you’re the friggen Cubbies?  Worst stigma since before the Red Sox finally broke the Curse and now, you finally put together a team that Could make it to the Series (arguably) and what happens, all the players that make it that team get hurt.  Again.
That’s right, D. Lee is […]

A-Rod Gets Worse

Well, maybe not worse, but just about as bad as he was.  His defensive “woes” are keeping up and show no signs of letting up.
After having a 3-error game on Monday, this very crucial error in last nights game was not exactly fun.  On what should have been an extremely, extremely routine throw home to […]

Braves Get Wickman from Indians

The Braves needed a closer, that’s no secret, they got one.  That’s news.
Bob Wickman, who’s already converted 15 of 18 saves this season for the Indians, is now a Brave.  The Braves needed it, and the Braves got it.
The price they paid was Minor League catcher Maximiliano Ramirez.  While he’s a hell of a catching […]

Wakefield to Join Disabled List

Wakefield is headed to the DL, much to the dismay of me, and a lot of other Red Sox fans.  Even though he isn’t having his best year ever, it’s always nice to have a veteran pitch in big game situations.
A stress fracture to one of his ribs is the culprit, and apparently Wake’s been […]
