Matt Anderson looked to have an amazing career ahead of him in 1997 when he was drafted first overall. And he had the arm to back it up & 100 mph fastballs to prove it. Things were looking great in 2001 when he saved 22 games for a, shall we say, not the best Detroit Team that year. .. Then like sometimes it happens to all of us. Not even doing something stupid, he was warming up, OK maybe warming up a little faster than he should have… but maybe not. In either case during that [click to contimue reading...]
If I were a major league player the following would definitely apply to me given my luck. First off, I’d be a major leaguer by the seat of my pants. I’d have one foot into Triple A Ball at all times and just by sheer luck there would be no one better around to kick me down there. Second, given the reason I just gave for being in the majors my team would not be any good (and therefore I could make the team).

Charlie Manuel, manager of the Philadelphia Phillies got into a real yelling match, was ejected and suspended for a game following an incident where he supposedly made contact with an umpire.

Speculation as to the deal about the excitement of a Strasburb vs Heyward match-up such as in this article. You know what will happen? Strasburg will throw the ball and Heyward will try to hit it. Sometimes he will but maybe he won’t. It really won’t be that exciting, trust me. These matches of the titans are always same ole, same ole in baseball. It just is. …. People are so over the top on Strasburg I can’t believe it. Don’t get me wrong, he’s obviously great but come on. The “delicious part of Stephen Strasburg facing [click to contimue reading...]
You can almost hear his little words “Don’t tase me bro”. Yes an obnoxious “fan” desperate for attention runs onto the playing field and appears to be having a good old time until he’s taken down. Question: would this have happened to that woman who years ago used to run on the field topless? .. (there probably would have been a riot if she were so quickly interrupted). So that’s it. No news here you can move along. Just some nit-wit who wanted to waste everyone’s time doing something boring (until he got tased). Story [click to contimue reading...]
