By Jim McLennan We should have buried the Brewers. We pounded out twelve hits - but managed to push only three runs across home-plate. That's the first time we've had so many hits and lost because we got such a low return, since July 20th, 2005, when we scored twice on 12 hits against Florida, and were defeated...

With Michael Cuddyer already on the disabled list, Ron Gardenhire elected to bench two of his other prominen...

By Azreous The recently called up Connor Robertson was solid in relief, however, giving up just one run on two hits in three innings in an effort that kept the Diamondbacks in the game. In the process, he posted a Curt-Schilling-esque 32/9 strike to ball ratio. Rosales and Slaten also saw work and poste...

By E.L.M. Watching Friday’s game, in which the A’s took advantage of Barry Zito’s wildness and the Giants did absolutely nothing with the very charitable Greg Smith’s six walks, I had a bad feeling about the entire weekend. Matt Cain’s second straight strong outing. Perhaps he’s about to go on a tear....

Mets: 2008 Draft Preview
Original at Mets Geek

By Alex Nelson This could be a big draft for the Mets. The Mets’ farm system is pretty barren–even more so following the Johan Santana trade–and the Mets luckily have three picks in the first and supplemental rounds: number 18, number 22, and number 33 overall. The 18 and 33 come courtesy of the Braves, who w...

Not a bad haul. I give it a B+. As I review the two days of action in the 2008 NFL draft, as well as the pick up’s in free agency immediately after the draft, it is obvious there has been a major change in philosophy in the Cardinals draft and how they approach it. Last year gave a minor indication of th...
