Carlos Beltran ôMaking Progress,” but Not Ready to Start Rehab
Posted: 21st April 2010 by Flushing Baseball Daily in MLB
Carlos Beltran met with the doctors in Vail, Colorado this week in what was supposed to be a final test before he started rehab, but even though he is “making progress,” Beltran has not been cleared to resume baseball activity.
The Mets wouldn’t call it a setback, but in reality it is hard to imagine that this isn’t exactly that. Two weeks ago they said it would be any day until ...
SYRACUSE CHIEFS - AAA
After 12 games, the Syracuse Chiefs find themselves atop the International League North Division with a record of 8-4. A number of players have stood out for the Chiefs in this young season. The offense has been paced so far by second baseman Chase Lambin, who has hit a scorching .367 with a .441 on-base percentage and .567 slugging percentage in nine games. Just behind him are ...
As a featured columnist for the NHL here on Bleacher Report and an avid hockey fan, you have a better chance at catching Tiger Woods in sex therapy than me writing about a sport other than the NHL. But seeing as the 2010 NFL Draft is such a big deal, I figured I’d throw my two cents in here.
The only difference between this mock draft and the others you’ve probably ...

(This was supposed to be posted this morning, but I was having computer issues so I'll make this pretty short) It wasn't a great start for Javier Vazquez, but like the title says it was good enough for him to pick up his first win of the season.
In 5.1 innings, Vazquez allowed three runs on six hits, walked three, and struck out six. He ...
The Chicago White Sox are having early season troubles. They sit at 5-9 and are already five games behind the Minnesota Twins and tied for last in the division.
After such high expectations, it's easy to wonder what the causes are for their early season struggles?
There's no leadoff hitter.
Juan Pierre: .192 avg, 5 R, 1 RBI, .263 OBP, 6 SB/1 CS Scott Podsednik: .468 avg, 6 R, 6 RBI, .537 OBP, ...
The first two weeks of fantasy baseball have been wild so far and there are plenty of waiver-wire players that can help you for the near future. This is the time of year when fantasy owners panic and drop guys off to slow starts.
Already in a few leagues, I have seen the likes of Carlos Lee, Hunter Pence, Brandon Webb and numerous others dropped like flies because they were off ...
Just call him Nate McClutch.
The Braves center fielder, who was hitting a mere .138 with just one RBI all season, sure picked a good time to break out of his slump.
McLouth hit a leadoff 10th-inning solo blast against Jose Contreras to cap Atlanta’s stunning comeback 4-3 win over division rival Philadelphia.
The Braves have now won five of their last six games and find themselves in a first-place tie with ...
For a team from Northern California, the San Jose Sharks sure knew how to celebrate 4/20 in style!
In a must win game, the San Jose Sharks showed their mettle once again by putting the Avalanche away midway through the first overtime session.
In what is turning out to be a highly competitive series, the San Jose Sharks have regained the home ice advantage they earned throughout the regular season. With two ...
Just like in 2000, the Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils are meeting in the playoffs.
Just like in 2000, Martin Brodeur is in goal on one end of the ice, and Brian Boucher is in goal on other.
And just like in 2000, the Flyers are going back to New Jersey with a 3-1 series lead.
The Flyers certainly hope that is the end of the similarities.
As many of us probably remember, ...
