Jose Valverde is either the gutsiest closer of
all time, or the craziest one. I'm leaning toward
the latter.
Superstitious, charismatic, and all-out boisterous are just three
of the adjectives used to describe Arizona Diamondbacks closer
and big league saves-leader, Jose Valverde . I prefer to call him jolly. The 6'4", 254-pound righty is generally a ...
Slightly late update this week, since I was
in California for a couple of days. I’ll cover
this weekend’s games too, so that’ll make my next update a good bit shorter! In the nine games played since I last wrote, the Diamondbacks were an impressive 7-2: they took two games from Pittsburgh and, though dropping the series to Colorado in Phoenix, roared back to a four-game ...
Summary: Brandon Webb's scoreless innings streak ended at
42 but the right-hander still won his sixth consecutive
start, beating the Brewers. Turning point: The turning point for the streak came early, with Prince Fielder driving in Gabe Gross in the ...
Fuck you Jason Kendall. You fucking pussy. Yeah,
let me tell you why you're a pussy. I'm
in my fantasy baseball playoffs this week - yeah, you think that's lame? Fuck you, your last name is a girl's name. Anyway, ...
SAN DIEGO - Every win, in the parlance
of manager Bob Melvin, is "big" or "huge" or
some such descriptor indicating magnitude. And in the grand scheme of things, he is right, particularly in a league in which entry into the playoffs could come down to ...
I’ve held off as long as possible, and
now I feel this issue has to be addressed.
People, give Jason Isringhausen a break. When he started the season throwing BBs and mowing down hitters, I put up with the bitching and moaning about how Wainwright ...
What I'm reading -- why don't you read
it too? ______________ Double-A Zone Division I-AA (FCS) and
Division II teams are NOT the same thing, people ______________ D'backs closer Jose Valverde is one weird dude ______________ Look! It's BGSU alum ...
The Cubs and their fans travel to Arizona
to battle a team that many people don't think
stands a chance against this mighty Cubs juggernaut. Did I just write that? Cubs in four.
The NL West champion Arizona Diamondbacks acquired Dan
Haren from the Oakland Athletics Friday, trading closer Jose
Valverde to the Houston Astros in two different moves surrounding 12 players.
The next stop on my quest to get
to know the NL is in Houston, Texas. The
Diamondbacks only left me with questions, I hope I can learn more about the Stros. What's your deal Astros? Last year the Stros went 73-89, good enough for fourth in the weak NL Central. Their 2007 offense can best be described as paltry. This has been a problem with the Astros for far too long.....
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- The Houston Astros won their
arbitration case against Mark Loretta, the club confirmed Tuesday
morning. Loretta asked for $4.9 million, while the club offered $2.75 million. Loretta made $2.5 million after signing as a free agent in ...
NL West This is a tight division overall
and anyone can easily pull ahead of the pack,
but they will need to improve without costing them security in another spot on the roster (see the D’backs with trading Jose Valverde). 1. Diamondbacks : The difference makers here are the departure of SP Livan Hernandez and the addition
Let's use PITCHf/x data to examine a question
