You won’t see many games like the one we saw on Saturday. The Los Angeles Dodgers didn’t get a hit against the Los Angeles Angels. However, the Dodgers won the game. Since the Dodgers won, the Angels don’t get credited for the no-hitter.
The Angels pitchers were Jared Weaver and Jose Arredondo. […]

CC Sabathia, the oversized ace for the Cleveland Indians, is looking more and more like a player that is about to be traded. The Indians, who are 35-41 and seven games behind the AL Central leading Chicago White Sox, will likely look to trade Sabathia before he becomes a free agent after the season.
Sabathia […]

While the New York Yankees aren’t winning many games this season, at least their manager is doing a good job getting ejected. I give Girardi a B+ for his eruption that led to his ejection against the Baltimore Orioles. You can see a video of the ejected Joe Girardi at the end of […]

The Tampa Bay Rays beat the New York Yankees on Thursday to send the Yankees into last place. The Rays won the game 5-2 behind a strong pitching performance from Scott Kazmir and a two-run homerun by backup catcher Shawn Riggans.
The Yankees are now 20-22 and in last place in the AL East. […]

The bloggers for the b5media sports channel were asked to write a blog entry about a childhood sports memory. For me, when I think of childhood sports memories, there’s really only one that stands out.
I really started following baseball in the 1988 season. Both of my parents are Los Angeles Dodgers […]

Hanley Ramirez, Florida Marlins
At 24, Hanley Ramirez is already a superstar. He’s off to a fantastic start as he’s hitting .337 with eight homers, 18 RBIs and 22 runs scored. Ramirez also has nine stolen bases and an on-base percentage of over .400.
Miguel Tejada, Houston Astros
While there are controversies surrounding Tejada regarding everything from his […]

Hey, here’s a fun team that doesn’t get a lot of attention. The 1966 Pittsburgh Pirates went 92-70, good enough for third place in an extremely tight National League race. The Dodgers won the pennant, with the Giants back of them by 1 1/2 games. The Bucs, in turn, finished 1 […]

My colleagues at Baseball Digest Daily and I discuss who are the best general managers in baseball and which teams we think might surprise in 2008. Interesting that folks seem to be so bullish on the Tampa Bay Rays and the Los Angeles Dodgers. I don’t follow the Rays much, although I know they’ve got […]

Ah, this brings back memories. The Baltimore Orioles nabbed left-hander Matt Riley in the third round of the 1997 draft. I picked him up in a fantasy league in ‘99 on the strength of his 13-8, 3.03 performance at Single- and Double-A as a 19-year-old.
Riley actually made three starts for the […]

Oy, what a headache (Evansville Courier Press):
Kim Mattingly, the wife of Los Angeles Dodgers’s assistant coach Don Mattingly, was arrested over the weekend and charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct after she allegedly refused to leave her husband’s property.
Not to make light of an obviously serious situation, but the mug shot that accompanies this […]
