The Angry Man: Mario Soto Of all the
star pitchers of the 1980s, perhaps none has fallen

The first game was in Boston, and the
Detroit Tigers had a new first baseman with incredible
power, a new third baseman who would make too many errors and a great old manager who had a way with words. So here we are 18 years later. Cecil Fielder has become Miguel Cabrera.

Saturday was apparently a big evening for baseball

Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame, the Cincinnati Reds honored former shortstop Dave Concepcion for his years of service by retiring his number 13. He became the eighth player or manager so honored by the team, including five Hall of Famers. Joe decides to put this all in perspective.

Check out some of these numbers for the
relief pitchers: Mike Myers: Right-handed hitters are 10 of
59 (.169) against him with four walks. Left-handed hitters are 17 of 53 (.321) with eight walks. Makes no sense whatsoever. Scott Proctor: ...

Seven is an interesting number for a top
list. We usually roll with eleven around these parts.
