With the series tied 1-1 and shifting to St. Louis, game three saw a good pitching match-up in Yovani Gallardo vs. Chris Carpenter. There was pre-game interest revolving around Ron Roenicke’s decision to start Mark Kotsay in center-field for the Brewers, and bat his second, due to his career numbers against Carpenter (4-11 with a […]

We all know by now that the Boston Red Sox completed the biggest collapse in the history of Major League Baseball this past September, losing a 9 game lead to the Tampa Bay Rays and blowing a lead in Game 162 to the hapless Baltimore Orioles, allowing the surging Rays to come back and walk-off […]

It’d be a stretch to call Game 3 of a 1-1 series a must-win game for any team. According to WhoWins.com, 35 different teams in MLB history have come back from 2-1 series deficits, which is about 29% of all of the teams that have faced such a deficit. Not an ideal position to be […]

After looking at star-studded Scottsdale Scorpions roster, the Mesa Solar Sox team pales in comparison. There are some nice role-playing pieces but few stars and fewer without serious question marks. Josh Vitters OF (Cubs): Vitters is one of the most controversial prospects out there. He has excellent hand-eye coordination that leads to a plus hit […]

MLB Network’s Peter Gammons took some time away from his normal entertainingly nonsensical tweeting to break some news about the pending sale of the Astros and their eventual move to the AL West (h/t MLBTR).  @pgammoPeter Gammons – Houston ownership change expected to go through in mid-November, w/ AL move. (Twitter link)  The sale of the […]

Thanks a lot, Theo Epstein.  Because of you, we now live in a world where some anonymous fan who totally thinks he saw you at a Starbucks is actually a credible source for breaking news.  Yes, that’s right, the guy we roundly mocked was on to something because it has been revealed that Theo Epstein […]

Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. has never shied away from bold moves. On Tuesday, he made a bold statement, one that has many analysts scratching their heads. Apparently, Amaro thinks that the team’s best prospect, Domonic Brown, needs to spend another year at triple-A. “He’s got some work to do in left field. He’s down […]

The hot stove is far from its full throttle mode, but that doesn’t mean rumors aren’t already popping their head around the corner. Troy Renck of the Denver Post wrote (via Twitter) that the Rockies would have interest in Kevin Youkilis should the Red Sox make him available. Youk is fresh off what was perhaps […]

Oh nos!  Delmon Young is hurt and can’t play in the ALCS!! Double oh nos!  Magglio Ordonez is even hurter!!  He can’t play at all anymore!!! Hoorays!  Delmon Young is all betters!! OK, seriously, what the heck is going on in Detroit?  Far be it from to question a team that has advanced all the […]

The Brewers never had a chance. Five Cardinals runs in the first four innings put Milwaukee in a deep hole en route to a dominant 12-3 victory to tie the series at one game apiece. This game was pretty much the Albert Pujols show. Pujols drove in the first five Cardinals runs of the game, […]

Nelson Cruz tied the game in the seventh with a homer, and walked the game off in the eleventh with a grand slam to lead the Rangers to a 7-3 win over the Tigers, giving Texas a 2-0 series lead. Detroit led 3-2 for a majority of the game, getting their three runs on a […]

At the end of the Phillies-Cardinals game on Friday, Ryan Howard collapsed to the ground in pain. I initially thought he suffered some sort of knee injury, but the diagnosis came out on Saturday: Howard had torn his Achilles tendon. This is a huge injury that typically is very painful and requires a lot of […]

Despite falling behind 5-2, the Brewers rallied to beat the Cardinals 9-6 after big homers from Prince Fielder and Yuniesky Betancourt in the sixth. Brewers starter Zack Greinke wasn’t good by any means. He allowed six runs in six innings, walking two and striking out six while allowing one homer. The big blow for the […]
