Josh Beckett Just Good Enough In 5-3 Win Over Mariners

Today’s start was an important one for Josh Beckett. He had been shelled by the Yankees, Rangers, and Angels in his previous 3 outings (giving up a combined 19 earned runs) and was facing easily the worst offense in baseball at a rainy and foggy Fenway Park. Beckett entered the day with a 4-1 career [...]

MLB Division Leaders 2010

This time a year ago every division in baseball had a different leader. Now, not every team that was leading at this point went on to win the division but it proves that the MLB season is a marathon not a sprint.
What surprises me the most? The NL West has the Pads in first when [...]

Vote Red Sox!

The Mid-Summer Classic is just a month away and already the voting is out of control.  The fans have kept guys who are either injured or retired up on top of their ballots like former Seattle Mariner Ken Griffey Jr and New York Yankees Jorge Posada who are both number 2 and number 3 in [...]

Saint Diego

San Diego is winning the West. They have to be a big surprise to you. Their record, 22-12, is an outstanding ten above .500! What has got into them?
You can talk basics, Adrian Gonzalez has a handful of homers and RBIs. They have that killer bullpen that every good teams yearns for. But the big [...]

Milton Bradley- Good Board Games, Bad Attitudes

Milton Bradley’s problem wasn’t Chicago (although we all knew it was a horrible fit. He’s up to his old antics after being pulled from a game yet again. Bradley decided to storm out of the stadium. Oh brother!
I guess he is buying into the “stress-anxiety” disorder that’s been popping up around the MLB. I’ll tell [...]

On the road again……

The Tampa Bay Rays wrapped up a 6 game homestand, going 4-2. The Rays swept the Oakland A’s and managed a split with the lowly Kansas City Royals. The Royals pitching staff successfully managed to silence the red hot Rays bats, limiting them to 15 hits in the final 3 games of the four game [...]

Power of the Fist(er)

When you look at Doug Fister’s stuff you wouldn’t think to yourself: this is a guy who is capable of holding a major league team hit-less for six innings. But that is exactly what the Seattle Mariners starter did last night against the Baltimore Orioles.
Fister had a solid debut late last season, going 3-4 with [...]

Panic Time in Boston?, NBA Picks, MLB Picks

Don’t freak out yet Fenway lovers. The team isn’t lost.
I do think the Yanks might run away with this division but it isn’t completely over. Last year Ortiz struggled but came back after a couple horrific months and produced. It’s hard to look at what happened today though. A three game sweep, no wait, a [...]

Barometer In Seattle

In the past 20 years, statistical analysis of baseball has been progressing at a fast pace. Bill James published his Baseball Abstracts starting in 1977 and ever since then, Sabermetrics has taken off. Back then, James relied on a calculator and a pen and paper to do his calculations, and the application of the information [...]
