Glavine Falls to Braves Again
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. Tom Glavine pitched 6 great innings last night. Unfortunately the 7th wasn’t anywhere near as good as Glavine lost to his onld team again. But of even greater concern was the Mets not being able to hit anything against Tim Hudson. Let’s hope they can turn […]
Danny Graves: Free Agent
The Reds cut closer Danny Graves yesterday. He’s more or less been stinking up the joint this season but had 41 saves last year. I have to believe that someone doesn’t lose their stuff that quickly and that if he’s really that bad it’s a mental block or a small mechanical breakdown that can be […]
The Wright Call?
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. How far out of the baseline can a player go without being called out? Second base umpire Jeff Nelson showed us last night. With one out in the eighth inning and the bases loaded Doug Mientkiewicz hit the ball to Braves first baseman Julio Franco who […]

Aaron Heilman in the bullpen. VÃctor Zambrano starting against the Yankees. Pedro Martinez got a cortisone shot. Discuss.
Koo, Koo, Ka-choo
Click here for a recap of last night’s game. I haven’t had a chance to read very much today but I’m sure that many people are questioning Willie Randolph’s call to have Dae-Sung Koo come in to pitch the 9th inning instead of Braden Looper. I actually have no problem with this call outside of […]
Cameron in Center?

Randolph commented about this by saying “What Mike did says a lot about […]
