An article on Edinson Volquez today, from MLB.com: “I want another year like that, but better,” Volquez said. Volquez has the makeup to do that. He also has stuff that includes a mid-90s mph fastball and a deceptive changeup to back it up. Not much new….just some of the same old st...

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...

There’s been a lot about this season that has defied expectations, not just where the Mets are concerned but throughout baseball. This afternoon’s game and this whole series have lined up with that in many ways, and the results have brought us to a position that is worse than where we th...

It’s a lovely afternoon for scoreboard-watching, as the Mets could find themselves back in a tie for first place by the end of the day with a little help from the Marlins. Of course, in order for that to happen, the Mets will have to take care of business and salvage a split with the Cincinna...

The All-Star break is over, and it’s time for the second half of the season to begin. The Mets are probably looking forward to getting back out there more than any other team too, as they went into the break sizzling hot on a 9-game winning streak. The Amazins will try to show they have not co...

For my first post here at Crooked PItch, I’m going to a column that was a staple during my time at Warning Track Power. Pitchers that can keep the ball on the ground as well as pile up strikeouts are those with the best chance for consistent success, in my opinion, so finding the guys that do ...

It's difficult not to expect too much from Bruce. I'm so excited I can hardly remember that the Reds won't be in first place after tonight's game. It's as if I think Bruce can singlehandedly make the Reds gain seven games in one night. Gotta remember at the end of the day, the least we can be is six...
