A-Rod To Have X-Rays

Uh oh for the Yankees.  If the X-rays on A-Rod’s foot come up with some bad news, the Yankees might be in even sorer shape than before.
Already riddled with injuries, the last thing they need is an A-Rod on the DL.
Apparently he fouled a ball off his foot, stayed in the game for a bit, […]

So Good I’m Posting It: From Geez’s Mouth to Your Ears

I knew the post on the Reds/Nationals trade would stir up some feelings, I just didn’t know how well those feelings would be articulated.
That said, Mr. Geez articulated those feelings perfectly, so perfectly in fact, I didn’t want to restrain it to just the little comment box. Here, for your reading pleasure, is Geez’s […]

Twins Without Torii Hunter

Yikes for Twins fans, Torii Hunter is having an MRI soon for a stress fracture to his left foot.  He was put on the 15 Day DL and you can bet your butt he’s in a hurry to get back.  Probably not as big of a hurry as the Twins are to HAVE him back, […]

Reds/Nationals Trade Has Fans Irate

Fans including Geezeus, frequent commenter, baseball genius and die-hard Reds fan; he’s such a fan he bleeds, well, um, Reds red? At any rate, he, and a whole heck of a lot of other people are pretty irate…for good reason.
Here’s how it went down: The Nationals gave up Right Handed Pitcher Gary Majewski, […]

Huff Already Proves Worth

So he steps off the plane, fresh off a trade, and already proves his worth.
Aubrey Huff, just traded to the Astros is already proving that he wants to single-handedly elevate that poor batting average of the team.  Huff nailed a 3-run home run last night to seal the Astros victory over the Marlins.
Maybe Huff WILL […]

Teixeira Blasts Three Bombs

Good Lord, talk about having a night!  Mark Teixeira had a career-high 3 home runs in one night last night; the 7 RBI’s (matching a career-high) helped the Rangers knock off the Orioles at a laughable 15-1.
Three bombs in one night, wow.  He’s already contributing substantially this year so its nice to see him have […]

Developments in the Bonds Soap Opera

Barry Bonds’ “former” best-friend and business partner (man, see how soap opera that just sounded) has apparently come forward with some pretty pertinent information on this whole Steroids Saga.
44-year-old Steve Hoskins told federal investigators that Bonds was a “heavy steroid user” and sometimes flew into “roid rages.” He also said that Bonds gave him […]

Astros Get Aubrey Huff & Cash

I guess being tied for last in the National League for batting average might be a good indication you need some hitting, right?
I guess the Astros thought so, and so just a few days after the All-Star game they decided to do something about it; that something, meant getting Aubrey Huff from the Devil Rays.  […]

Michael Young Makes Surprise Hero

I bet when people looked over the All-Star Lineups and tried to decide who’d be the hero, who’d have the big game, who’d walk away with the MVP, Michael Young’s name was far, far down the list.
Surprise Surprise, he not only was the hero of the American League’s comeback victory, he actually was named MVP.  […]

Ryan Howard Takes HR Derby Crown

In a somewhat anti-climactic battle, Ryan Howard edged out David Wright in the Home Run Derby this year.
His victory marks the 2nd straight year the Phillies took home the crown; Abreu won last year as well as setting a single round record.  Regardless, the Derby seemed a little Anti-Climactic this year.  I don’t know if […]
