We inch ever so close to that month of September where many minor leaguers will get called up on 40-man rosters to get their “cup of coffee” in Major League Baseball. Some will stay, some will make only the month-long appearance, but it’s nice to get a preview of the future. But today, […]
Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama is a Chicago White Sox fan. But, if you watched the 2005 American League Championship Series, you might already know that. Obama threw out the first pitch of game two of that series, as the White Sox went on to win the World Series with a sweep of […]
The 2008 Major League Baseball season is coming up on its last month before the playoffs. The New York Mets and interim manager Jerry Manuel have a one-and-a-half game lead in the National League East over the Philadelphia Phillies. Life is good for the new skipper.
So just what has Manuel cracking up in […]
No, that’s not the sky falling in Philadelphia, instead it’s a kid falling over the fence onto the warning track during batting practice. Luckily, the youngster wasn’t seriously injured from what looks like a 10-foot fence.
You have to wonder what is going through New York Mets pitcher Mike Pelfrey’s head as the kid stumbles […]
Washington Nationals infielder Cristian Guzman looked really good Thursday night. In fact, he went 4-for-4 at the plate and recorded a cycle. It was the first cycle by a Nationals player since Brad Wilkerson accomplished the feat in 2005.

Now that’s really messing with someone. It’s probably something […]
For just the second time all season, Hank Steinbrenner watched, in person, the New York Yankees play. After the game, Steinbrenner only wanted to rip the club for their play.
According to Mark Feinsand’s story in the New York Daily News, Steinbrenner was quoted as saying, “…the bottom line is they sucked.” Not so […]
Some of Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame members took a minute to weigh in on the subject of Instant Replay in the video below. I understand the point of having it instituted, but I will still argue that it’s a bad time to throw it in during the middle of a season.

Don’t look now but the Chicago Cubs are inching ever so close to a playoff appearance, and dare we say… a possible World Series bid? Shhhh! But where would the Cubs be without guys like Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez, Alfonso Soriano and, let’s not forget, Carlos Zambrano? Probably not in first place!
Here’s a […]
What’s that you say? My home run wouldn’t have counted? Be gone with instant replay!Photo: Newscom
Instant Replay has officially made its way into Major League Baseball. Some say too soon (me), some say too late (Baltimore Orioles fans). Remember the 1996 ALCS? OK - well, how about game one of […]
