Mike Pelfrey dazzled the Cubs Tuesday night, allowing no runs on three hits and three walks in seven innings. He also struck out six en route to his third win in as many starts. The 26-year-old now has a 0.86 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with a 16:8 K:BB ratio through 21 innings. The question all fantasy managers are asking now is: How good is Mike Pelfrey ? Based on his previous two ...

Caption: Tonight’s hero, CF Darnell McDonald, drove in the last three Red Sox runs—with a two-run home run in the eighth inning and a wall-ball scraper in the ninth—in the Red Sox' 7-6 win. Here, he is mobbed by Jonathan Papelbon, Dustin Pedroia, and the rest of his Red Sox teammates. Tonight’s contest between the Red Sox and Texas Rangers was one for the books on so many levels that ...

Since starting this blog, a door has been opened for several great opportunities. One such opportunity has been to review several books. As a college student, I can't tell you how much I hate reading boring material. We've all been there. But thankfully, the books I've had the honor of thumbing through have all been very thought-provoking. Obviously that's coming from a biased opinion as anything baseball-related is thought-provoking in my opinion, ...

The Pirates never had any hope of winning Tuesday night's game at home against the Milwaukee Brewers. Was it because of the disparity in talent? Well, that's a part of it, but the Pirates record currently sits at 7-6, so they have evidently been finding ways to somehow win games. The main reason there was no hope is demonstrated in the picture above. Pitching coach Joe Kerrigan barely had time ...

The San Francisco Giants are stranded in one of those offensive deserts where the run-scoring oases are replaced by shimmering mirages of runners in scoring position that dissolve into nothing. Hey, it was gonna happen sooner or later—this is not a team capable of winning 100 games. Those kinds of clubs have exceptional hitting to complement the same kind of arms. While these Giants have the pitching part of that equation, even the ...

Yes, it was wonderful to see Houston get within one game of being halfway to .500. They're 4-9 courtesy of a 7-5 win over the soon-to-be Miami Marlins (I'd call them the Florida Marlins, but I'm worried that noted Tampa Bay Rays fan Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea might send me an angry message, BROTHER!). Yes, it was wonderful to have Lance Berkman back. He doubled and drove in two runs. We ...

Cliff Lee has had his five game suspension rescinded after somehow his argument that his spring injuries caused his pitch to be at Chris Snyder and not the fact that he was throwing at him.  I think that this is a ridiculous argument, but hey it worked.  So, sometime in May when Lee is ready to return he won’t miss another start due to suspension.  Rickie Weeks continues to sizzle to ...

Ignorance and poor decision-making, not cocaine, will be the downfall of Ron Washington as manager of the Texas Rangers. After yet another heartbreaking 7-6 loss in a game the Rangers should have won against the Boston Red Sox, it is hard not to find fault in Washington's style of game management. Anytime a team goes from leading 6-2 to losing the game by a run, fingers begin to be pointed. Five ...

Usually when a team puts up 10 runs in a baseball game it is cause for celebration. Especially when that team has been struggling to score runs over the previous week. Tuesday was not a usual day for the Rockies. A 10-4 win over the Nationals was not met with loud music and cheerfulness. This night is not about being happy. After receiving word around noon that team president, and friend ...

The Colorado Rockies lost their foundation Tuesday morning.   Everything the organization represents was developed from President Keli McGregor, who tragically passed away Tuesday in his hotel room in Salt Lake City.   I didn’t know Mr. McGregor; I’ve never even met him. I did hear him speak once and have recently read several articles and heard numerous stories about the man he was. While I didn’t know him, when you follow a team ...
