Hall of Fame No Longer Closed to Closers

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:06:15 +1900

Next Sunday, Rich “Goose” Gossage will become the fifth relief pitcher inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Gossage was the most feared reliever of his day and should have been inducted a few years earlier. The other four Hall of Fame relievers are Hoyt Wilhelm (class of 1985), Rollie Fingers (class of 1992), Dennis Eckersley (class of ...

LaPorta Honored Again

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 02:30:35 +1900

Matt LaPorta has had a busy month. He was traded from the Brewers organization to the Indians for last year’s Cy Young winner, bringing all kinds of expectations on his shoulders. His luggage was lost on the way to Akron, and his cell phone ‘broke’. He lost his grandfather two days before taking part in the Futures game at Yankee Stadium...

Justin Duchsherer for Cy Young!!!

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:58:35 +1900

Justin Duchsherer is now 10-6 and a bonafide All Star. In those 6 losses, the As managed to score 3, 0, 2, 1, 0 and 1 run for him. 7 total runs in 6 losses. A month ago I would have said Cliff Lee should be the AL Cy Young front-runner. I am not sure anymore.

Chris Carpenter Is Rehabbing

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:49:12 +1900

With the Cubs, Brewers, and Phillies, all teams that the Cardinals may be competing with for a playoff spot, adding arms for a stretch run, the Cardinals are suddenly losing theoretical ground in the standings, even if their records says they're keeping pace. It's possible that they'll stay right in the race without a roster upgrade, but it just seems unlikely at this point. Fortunately for ..

Roy Halladay: Best Pitcher in Baseball

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 13:49:37 +1900

Go ahead, try and argue. Doc threw his 7th Complete Game of the season last night in shutting out the Yankees and looks poised to add a second Cy Young award to his mantle at the end of the year.

D-Bag of the Week: Tim Lincecum

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 10:01:00 +1900

I almost feel bad doing this. Almost. I've liked Tim Lincecum ever since he pitched at the University of Washington. But a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, and Lincecum proved Tuesday night that he is weak sauce. The kid, who just might win himself a Cy Young in the National League this year, was all set to take part in Tuesday's pre-All Star game festivities when he was beset with a ...

MLB: Halfway Point Awards

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:18:43 +1900

So far, the Major League Baseball season has had several great stories like Josh Hamilton, Kerry Wood and Ryan Ludwick, but as we cruise into the halfway point, who get's the midseason hardware. The usual suspects are at the top fighting for the first half MVP, CY Young and rookie of the year awards but I have a new prize to give out this year. So to kick things off, the first half awards go ...

Please Get Over Yourself You Delusional Punk

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:14:02 +1900

The punk I speak of is Red Sox closer Jonathan Paplebon, and it turns out that this arrogant douchebag thinks he deserves to close tomorrow. From Peter Abraham : “If I was managing the team, I would close. … But I’m not managing the team,” he said today. Sam Borden and some of the other writers there asked Papelbon whether Mariano Rivera had earned the right to close. “I think we both ...

Chris Young and Josh Bard

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:05:54 +1900

I went to Lake Elsinore tonight to watch the rehab starts of Chris Young and Josh Bard and came away encouraged. Chris pitched 3.2 innings on approximately 60 pitches, yielding two hits and striking out four. He did give up a homer to the final batter he faced, but his command was better than I would have expected after nearly a two month layoff. In fact, throwing primarily fastballs, Chris ...
