While this hottie couldn’t resist David Wright, Tim opted to pick up someone else with his first rounder. Well folks, now that 2009 is well underway, is there a better way to commence the New Year than getting that first league draft of 2009 under my belt? I’m not talking mock draft, but the...

For the most part, MLB teams are entering Spring Training with their third base position set. There are a few battles going on; Buscher versus Harris in Minnesota, Blum vesus Boone in Houston (yuck) and McPherson versus Helms in Florida.

The Mets lost their 2nd straight game at Petco Park, scoring just one run in both losses. Johan Santana pitched effectively for 6 innings, but took the loss as he was outdone by Randy Wolf and the Padres won 2-1. Santana and Wolf matched zeros for 5 innings, as both lefties looked masterful. The Met...

While the way in which the Mets lost last night was rather painful, the outcome itself was not particularly surprising. Quite frankly, the Mets were fortunate to even have a chance of taking it to extra innings. The offense was almost completely shut down by a pitcher they had never seen before (a s...

Satisfying win on Tuesday night. The last two games I’ve attended have followed the exact same pattern: Randy Wolf serves up a two-run homer in the first, settles down, and watches his teammates play long ball late. To the bullet points: Hard to complain about a victory, but I’ll do it a...

We were walking west along J Street, just past Fire Station 4, when the crowd erupted. Cardinals fans seem to travel with their team, so we assumed that the visiting team had extended its seemingly insurmountable 2-0 lead. I was in a lousy mood before we even got to the ballpark — I forget why...

Just bullet points this morning: Bud Black, Wally Joyner, and Rick Renteria all threw during the big-league session we watched. Darrel Akerfelds pitched to minor leaguers over at the next field. Tadahito Iguchi had a nice batting practice session on Sunday. He showed more power than I’d expect...
