Two nights after Tim Hudson won his 200th career game, Jake Westbrook of the Cardinals won his 100th career game, as St Louis held on to beat Milwaukee 6-5. We were actually deprived of the exact same historical moment for Ervin Santana, who also came into Thursday sitting on 99 career wins and got the […]

Prior to the Red Sox-Blue Jays series finale in Toronto on Thursday night, former Blue Jays pitcher and current commentator Jack Morris accused Boston starter Clay Buchholz of throwing spitballs during Boston's 10-1 win on Wednesday night. Jack Morris, a former World Series hero and a Toronto Blue Jays broadcaster, said Thursday that he watched […]

Not a lot of people are buying into the Colorado Rockies as a legitimately good team, but they do apparently have one player who thinks they are for real. After spending the off-season saying that he was only interested in signing with a contender, Roy Oswalt has jumped about the Rockies bandwagon, inking a minor […]

This Monday we saw how much fun a marathon inning game could be. We also saw how dangerous it can be for the players involved given that five players left that game with injuries with three of them ending up on the disabled list. It creates quite the moral dilemma. How can baseball balance the […]

There is a lot wrong with the LA Angels. Instead of being the World Series contender many thought they would be, the Halos have struggled to a 10-17 record and are already on the verge of having to declare 2013 a lost season. The problem that gets the most attention is Josh Hamilton. While he […]

Going into the 2013 MLB season, the general consensus was that Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly had the most pressure on him this season. Los Angeles Angels skipper Mike Scioscia probably ranked a close second. If neither of those teams made the playoffs — or played below expectations during the regular season — after […]

We've touched on how surprising the NL Central race has been this season, but I think Wednesday's games really put the division in a nutshell. The first place Cardinals now have just a two game lead on the fourth place Reds, with the Pirates and Brewers sandwiched between them. The games on Wednesday saw the […]

The first month of the 2013 MLB season is in the books, and this will serve as your de facto recap of which players starred, and which players faltered this April. AL Hitter of the Month Chris Davis, Orioles. Davis raked to start the season off, bashing nine homers in his first 27 games (second […]

Reflecting back, there’s a critical period in the Red Sox development which is largely under-remembered due to what happened in October, 2004. But it began in November, 1997 when the Sox actually traded for a young star – Pedro Martinez – as opposed to their typical coveting of used-to-be-stars approach. And it ended in July, […]

We had our second pitcher of the season pick up win #200: Tim Hudson of the Braves. Hudson's Braves dominated the Nationals in an 8-1 win, and the 37-year old turned in one of his best performances of the year to reach the milestone. He even added a homer on the offensive side of teh […]
