Tue, 1 Jul 2008 00:41:50 +1900

Just one week after Houston Astros pitcher Shawn Chacon fought General Manager Ed Wade, we hear of another baseball player shoving team officials around. This time it was Boston Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez. Manny reportedly pushed the teams traveling secretary, Jack McCormick, to the ground in an argument over free tickets.

Is the Ed Wade/Shawn Chacon Altercation a First?

Fri, 4 Jul 2008 03:01:50 +1900

Last week, Astros pitcher Shawn Chacon got into a physical altercation with general manager Ed Wade after Chacon refused to go to manager Cecil Cooper’s office, and Wade angrily approached Chacon over the refusal. There have been altercations between players and front office staff before. Legend has it that Babe Ruth once dangled Yankees manager Miller Huggins from a moving train ..

In the final part of my six part series on major league expansion drafts, I examine the seventh expansion draft in major league history, the 1998 expansion draft for the newest members of Major League Baseball, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

As the fingers start pointing in Houston as to who should be blamed for the Astros' misery, Ed Wade is drawing most of them. Yet, holds the least amount of blame.

Forgotten Pitchers of the 1980s, pt. 3

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 15:44:50 +1900

The Late Bloomer: Mike Scott and John Tudor My goal in this series of articles about pitchers of the 1980s is to show that that decade's reputation for mediocrity is undeserved. The two previous parts dealt with pitchers who had excellent careers, yet have been underappreciated. This article is about two players who very well may have garnered more attention had they been able to ...

Astros Lose 7-6 in 17, Drop Series to the Braves

Mon, 7 Jul 2008 11:10:44 +1900

I hate losing... but losing is even worse when you go into the late innings with a lead and then your pen blows it... and it hurts even worse when you had a 4 run lead at one time during the game... and it hurts even worse than that when you play a 17 inning game and lose the game. Well... all of those things happened today as the Astros went into the bottom half of the 3rd with a ...

Brad Lidge Has a New Deal

Sun, 6 Jul 2008 16:35:00 +1900

I'm guessing a lot of you are like me in that as soon as you hear the name Brad Lidge , you immediately think about Albert Pujols hitting a ball about 750 feet off of him in the 2005 NLCS. Of course, I also think about the walk-off that Scott Podsednik hit off of him in game two of the World Series about a week after that as well. The Pujols one sticks out more though because it's not often ...

The food chain

Fri, 4 Jul 2008 04:03:34 +1900

The Yankees are 12-0 against the Seattle Mariners, San Diego Padres and Houston Astros. They are 33-41 against everyone else. The Red Sox defeated the Yankees 7-0 tonight after getting swept at the hands of the surging Tampa Bay Rays. It just may be time to accept the fact that the Yankees are not a very good team.

Post-Game 84 Thread: Dodgers Still Undefeated in July!

Sat, 5 Jul 2008 05:23:00 +1900

Today's win against the Astros secured the series win, and keeps the Dodgers undefeated this month! The last time the Dodgers won three games in a row, not involving a hapless Cincinnati Reds team, it was two months ago (May 1-3, vs. FLA/COL). This sudden outburst of runs has us almost giddy. Might our bats finally be declaring their independence from the shackles of binary tyranny? Could ...

You’re a Towel! NO, You’re a Towel!

Thu, 3 Jul 2008 15:32:16 +1900

Astros catcher J.R. Towles was recalled from Triple-A last night after a demotion earlier in the season due to a terrible start. Manage Cecil Cooper has indicated that he’ll start 4 out of every 5 games. Can we expect anything from him for the remainder of the season or will he join the long list of catcher busts in recent years?
