"Maybe you've heard -- Buzz Bissinger is in
the bloggy sports news ether today. Several people sent
us Buzz's piece on Kerry Wood in the New York Times magazine Play from about a year ago. I read the article from start to finish. It's artfully written, evocative, unPlaschkely poetic -- and deliberately, wrongheadedly misleading. Buzz Bissinger, such a gifted wordsmith and storyteller, weaves a..."

The Studs: Dave Stieb and Bob Welch The
1980s are widely regarded as a decade void of
pitching stars, especially among starters. It is often pointed out that 20 Cy Young Awards handed out from 1980-89 were awarded to 17 different pitchers, with only Steve Carlton, Roger Clemens and Orel Hershiser earning multiple trophies. The 80s also saw several players, such as Dwight Gooden and ...

The Angry Man: Mario Soto Of all the
star pitchers of the 1980s, perhaps none has fallen
as deeply into obscurity as Mario Soto. Upon his arrival in the majors in 1977, no less an authority than Sparky Anderson pronounced that he could be the next Juan Marichal. The comparison seemed apt, as Marichal had been the last pitcher from the Dominican Republic to have real success at the highest ...

Summary: Tom Glavine pitched 6 1/3 effective innings
and the bullpen did the rest as the left-hander
became the 23rd player in major league history to win 300 games. Hero: Glavine became only the fifth lefty to win 300 games and the first since Steve ...

Yes, he’s only 22, but the author doesn't
care what Baseball America says. He says guy’s a
bum, and the Reds should trade him.

Steve Carlton won 27 games in 1972 for
a team that lost 97 games in a strike-shortened
season. In 2008 these three pitchers are turning in similar performances through the middle of May.

August 8th marks the twentieth anniversary of Steve
Carlton's final career victory. His last win was delivered
in the heat of the 1987 pennant race for the Minnesota Twins. For a one-time ace whose best days were behind him, he had just enough in him to be "Lefty One Last Time."

Yes, it's true. For 11 games at the
end of 1974 season and 12 games at the
beginning of the 1975 season, Tim " Awesomest Broadcaster Ever " McCarver was a member of the Boston Red Sox. The Sox purchased McCarver's contract from the Cardinals for a very modest amount on September 1, 1974, with the intent to use him as a backup catcher (they already had Bob Montgomery and Carlton Fisk- but

Razzball.com and FBHOF.com embark upon the journey of
re-creating the All Star teams of the fantasy era.
In our first installment, players from the early years of 1980-1982 are elected. 1980 saw Steve Carlton blitz the world with fantasy's 8th best pitching season; in '81 it was Mike Schmidt's turn to shine with the 2nd best batting season ever. Finally, in '82 Robin Yount was king.

The 6-foot-5 left-hander with a withering fastball and
wicked changeup won five strikeout titles from 1965 to
1970 and twice topped 300 K's, a feat matched only by Sandy Koufax, Nolan Ryan, J.R. Richard, Walter Johnson, Curt Schilling and Randy ...

Not a good home stand for the boys
in red pinstripes. With the rare exception of Shane
Victorino’s walk off homer yesterday, and Saturday’s game pitched by Cole Hamels, which earned him his eighth win of the season, the last two series played ...

Why is Joe Sheehan of Baseball Prospectus simply
one of the best columnists around? Because of articles
like he wrote this Saturday comparing Tim Lincecum 2008 to Steve Carlton 1972. Sadly, the article I am referring to is for premium subscribers only, but it is one of the best and most thoughtful articles I have read in a while. Most baseball fans know that Carlton won 27-10 with a 1.97 ...
