Through the end of May, Jesse Litsch was 7-1 with 3.18 ERA. Now, after going 1-6 and 6.12 in June and July, the sophomore right-hander is on his way back to Syracuse for some seasoning. Don’t fret, though, Jays fans, he’ll be back in due time. One thing that stands out about Litsch is he acts...
Jays fans, this just in: Adam Lind doesn’t suck. You see, these are the things you discover when you decide to give a prospect more than 19 at-bats in the big leagues before sending him down, figuring he’s not ready. That, of course, is what the Jays’ savvy, motivated team of front office...
So I clocked out from work at 5:00 PM. It was the eighth inning of the baseball All-Star Game in The Bronx, New York. I was thinking of hanging out at one of the local bars in Waikiki to catch the end but figured I might spend a little too much during "happy hour." Instead I went down to Shirokiya...
It's the last MLB game before the All-Star break, pitting the surging New York Mets against the hapless Colorado Rockies. The Mets are on a 8-game winning streak, having taken 3 out of 4 from Philadelphia at Citizen's Bank Park, then sweeping the San Francisco Giants at Shea Stadium in 3 games, and...
The McFreeds report... Evan Longoria of the smoking Tampa Bay Rays was selected in a nationwide internet vote for the 2008 All Star Team for the American League! Way to go Evan! Now lets win some games Rays!
Dodger "rookie" Hiroki Kuroda took a perfect game into the 8th inning tonight against the Atlanta Braves, ending with a CG 1-hit shutout thanks to a Mark Teixiera double. The Dodgers won 3-0. Don't blink, but Joe Torre is now at the helm of a first-place team. Of course, the L.A. Dodgers are also a...
Sean admits he is becoming a Benedict Arnold... Well I have to tell you I was bad this week and rooted for the Tampa Bay Rays. I coudn't help myself! Call me a frontrunner fan if you will, I love Underdogs and the fact Stefan and I have familial relations intimately involved with the team didn't...
For all the promise he showed after his call-up in May of last season, could Dustin McGowan be any more ordinary this year? Sure, the Jays' pitching as a whole this season has at least allowed the team to tread water, but after his efforts towards the end of last season, McGowan left me wanting more...
Newsday's David Lennon picked up on the story recently (but not first) published by me about Carlos Delgado's huge day/night splits. http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/mets/ny-spmearly0702,0,7415005.story Sounds like not much will happen unless Delgado sees a causal link between the two. I...
Sean is conflicted... I have been a huge Boston Red Sox fan over the years. I own a piece of the Green Monster as well as a piece of the 2004 World Series bench amongst other memorabilia from the Red Sox! And in the spirit of family unity I have also in the last 2 years become a fan of the Tampa Bay...

By now, you’re likely familiar with the J.P. Ricciardi and Adam Dunn saga. Last week, Ricciardi told a caller on The Fan 590 the Jays weren’t interested in the Will Ferrell look-a-like, insisting Dunn “doesn’t really like baseball that much” and “doesn’t have a passion to play the...
Game 2 of the 3-game interleague series between the New York Mets, now managed by Jerry Manuel, and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, ended with the Angels beating the Mets 6-1 behind the insanely great pitching of John Lackey. While this was billed as a big-time pitching matchup, a battle of staff...
Omar Minaya Press conference notes: - Omar Minaya said that he hadn't made the final decision to drop the axe (my words, not his) until Monday night and took full responsibility for the decision, emphasizing Willie was his hire, and this made it all the more difficult to fire him. He continued to...

The New York Mets beat the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Monday, 6/16/08 by a final score of 9-6. A very exciting offensive-based game from start to finish with a lot of edge-of-your-seat moments, here are the key reasons why the Mets were able to take the first game from the Angels: Staked Mike...
It was June 2003, the Mets were managed by Art Howe. Mike Piazza was on the DL. The outfield was "anchored" by white elephant Jeromy Burnitz. Scott Schoeneweis pitched, but not for New York. The Mets weren't very good. But the Angels were the defending World Series champions. At this point in time,...
The Texas Rangers are the ultimate in polar opposites, making for a .500 record of 34-34. They are the best hitting team in MLB (Josh Hamilton, Ian Kinsler, Michael Young, Milton Bradley). And they also have the worst pitching in MLB. (Kevin Millwood, Vicente Padilla (default ace), Scott Feldman,...
The MLB All-Star game is a little over a month away. Voting began on May 1, which is way too early to make All-Star picks, but as of June 10, with the latest results available, and the timing right, here are my votes and analysis for the 2008 All-Stars. Keep in mind that there is still a lot of...
The Giants, winners of 7 of their last away games, hope to continue their winning ways in Colorado tonight and continue their climb up the NL West. They will face Aaron Cook, 29, of the Rockies, who has started this season with a stellar 8-2 record. On the mound for the Giants is Pat Misch, who was...
