Small Sample Hero? Control Freak? Flamethower? Sounds like a comic book convention gone horribly wrong…
Phillies at Reds, 9:35 a.m. PT — Fire up a pot of coffee and sidle on up to the Internet (really, I’d like to see that). Cole Hamels and Bronson Arroyo square off in Monday’s first game. Plus you get a […]
So, what are we watching today? I’ll be out at the Padres/Astros game this afternoon, but here are Thursday’s top matchups:
Royals at Tigers, 10:05 a.m. PT — First off, Kansas City has taken the first two games of this series, which I’m sure nobody expect. Second, two talented yet enigmatic pitchers square off in this […]
Ah, Opening Day. I hope you had as much fun as we did (full report at Ducksnorts). Beyond the thrill of a packed house at Petco Park watching Jake Peavy spin a shutout, here are a few items from Monday that caught my eye:
The Mets beat the Marlins, 7-2. The planet’s best pitcher against a […]
Right-hander Don Cardwell, who pitched for the Phillies, Cubs, Pirates, Mets, and Braves from 1957 to 1970, died Monday at age 72. Cardwell owned a 102-138 career record and is perhaps best known for his role on the 1969 “Miracle” Mets. Another member of that team, Hall of Famer Tom Seaver, had kind words for […]
Will at Chop-n-Change takes a look at Kelly Johnson’s development as a player. You don’t see a lot of guys make a successful transition from the outfield to the infield, particularly on the middle of the diamond. Kudos to the Braves for taking a chance and to Johnson for making the most of it. If […]
Just time enough for haiku today…
Glavine returns home
Will one year in Atlanta
Erase his last start?
White Sox ship Garland
To Angels for Cabrera,
Have no pitching left
Three years of Lowell
Only in Red Sox Nation
Is he a bargain

Uh-oh. The Red Sox aren’t going away.
You had to figure the Indians were hosed when the series returned to Fenway. On the one hand, they’ve never lost a postseason series to a team from Boston — they swept the Red Sox in three games in ‘95 and beat the Braves in six in the ‘48 […]
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 […]
Not as catchy as “Two For Tuesday,” but it will have to do. Real quick like, here are your games for today:
Tigers at Yankees, 12:55 p.m. PT — Two teams fighting for a playoff berth, Roger Clemens pitching… Clemens’ career ERA by team: Tor, 2.33; Hou, 2.40; Bos, 3.06; NYA, 3.99.
Angels at Red Sox, 4:05 […]
Another day, another slate of games…
American League
Devil Rays at Tigers, 10:05 a.m. PT — Yeah, the Rays are a crap team going nowhere fast, but they have some terrific young talent, and Scott Kazmir vs Jeremy Bonderman is a fun pitching matchup.
National League
Braves at Mets, 9:10 a.m. PT — As was the case on Wednesday […]
