Introductions? We don’t need no stinkin’ introductions. Here are your games for a Friday:
American League
Mariners at Blue Jays, 4:07 p.m. PT — This is the only weekend series in the AL that features two winning teams. You’ve also got the whole “battle of ‘77 expansion teams” going in this one. Whatever happened to Leroy Stanton […]
When in doubt, turn on your players. That seems to be the modus operandi of Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, who had a few choice words after a loss at Texas. Speaking of his team’s offense, Guillen indulged in a particularly ridiculous form of hyperbole:
Well, they’re killing me. They’re killing my family. They’re killing […]
Ack, more games! Why wasn’t I informed…
American League
Red Sox at Yankees, 10:05 a.m. PT — This series doesn’t need any more hype. Either you love it or you don’t care. Watch (or don’t) accordingly.
Mariners at Indians, 4:05 p.m. PT — Playoff implications in this one, plus a potentially volatile pitching matchup. Two finesse lefties — […]
As I’ve mentioned on several different occasions, I drove from San Diego to Cooperstown in July to see Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr. inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. At long last, I have photos — 158 of them, in fact — to prove it. Click on the montage below to view the […]
Wednesday? Must be a full schedule. Let’s jump right in…
American League
Angels at Mariners, 1:35 p.m. PT — Division rivals, great pitching matchup (Jered Weaver vs Felix Hernandez). Most days this would be a no-brainer as the game to watch, but there are several good ones today.
Red Sox at Yankees, 4:05 p.m. PT — Josh Beckett […]
Way back in December, I’d compared the Giants’ signing of Bary Zito to the Rockies’ signing of Mike Hampton several years ago. I figured with the season winding down, now might be a good time to revisit that comparison, which is precisely what I’ve done in my first article at Ballhype. Enjoy, and “hype it […]
The Houston Astros have fired (hat tip to Baseball Musings) manager Phil Garner and GM Tim Purpura. Garner is replaced on an interim basis by bench coach Cecil Cooper, while speculation abounds on who will be the new GM.
A reader points out that Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle has mentioned Padres GM Kevin Towers […]
So, yeah, that thing I said yesterday about not putting a fork in Mike Mussina just yet? Kindly disregard it. I think allowing 10 of 19 batters to reach base pretty much kills that theory.
What are we watching today? Funny you should ask…
American League
Red Sox at Yankees, 4:05 p.m. PT — Again with these two […]
Dissecting is such a gruesome word for it, don’t you think? Maybe dismantling would have been better. Hmm, maybe not.
Anyway, the important thing is that Rich at Baseball Analysts has taken a nice look at this year’s contenders. The American League race is extremely tight (and who knew how good Hideki Okajima has been!), while […]
