Title: MLB 2010 (nsc) Post by left shoe shuffle on Feb 16th, 2010 at 10:50pm Pitchers and catchers report tomorrow for the Yankees, Phillies and several others. Suddenly it doesn't seem so cold, and there's not as much snow on the ground. Hope springs eternal for fans of every team - even the Pirates. Yanks - Sawx open the MLB season at Fenway on April 4th. Great way to start things... |

Thanks for the thread Lefty.
Not certain about Sunday Night Baseball to open the season here. Does not seem right to not have it be a Monday afternoon, kids skipping school, people taking the day off. Dollar driven of course. Buckocarew, Pavano is glue factory material. |

Groomed in the Sox farm system, Pavano along with another pitcher, Brian Rose were to be the foundation of the Sox staff in the mid 90's. They had glimmer for about a year. Pavano was traded with Tony Armas Jr to the Expos for Pedro Martinez in '97. Pavano really was never the same. He made some serious bling riding the pine with Yanks. Was he throwing heat against the Royals? |
|
Title: Re: MLB 2010 (nsc) Post by gimmekeef on Feb 19th, 2010 at 7:30am
Pavano was a bust with the Expos and we gave Pedro away. That was when baseball in Montreal was really over. Still pisses me off how 94 work stoppage ruined that team.

--------------- Kan. man sues Royals claiming hot dog injury By BILL DRAPER, Associated Press Writer 3 hours, 6 minutes ago KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—Baseball fans who sit six rows behind the third-base dugout at the Kansas City Royals’ stadium know they might have to duck a few foul balls. But a Kansas man says it was a flying hot dog, not a baseball, that almost put his eye out last year. John Coomer has filed a lawsuit against the Royals seeking more than $25,000 for injuries he sustained Sept. 8 when he was smacked in the eye with a hot dog chucked by the team’s mascot, Sluggerrr. Coomer said the wayward wiener caused a detached retina and the development of cataracts in his left eye. Royals spokesman David Holtzman declined to comment Tuesday. He also would not say whether the lawsuit is the reason the team is looking for a replacement for its large lion mascot. |

Strasburg dazzles in spring debut Nats righty tosses two shutout innings, strikes out Cabrera By Bill Ladson / MLB.com 03/09/10 1:38 PM EST VIERA, Fla. -- Making his Spring Training debut, Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg pitched two scoreless innings against the Tigers at Space Coast Stadium on Tuesday. In the first inning, Strasburg retired the Tigers in order. His pitches were clocked no lower than 96 mph. In the second inning, Strasburg faced the tough part of Detroit's order. He threw two 81-mph curveballs to Miguel Cabrera before striking out the slugger on a 98-mph fastball. The next hitter, Carlos Guillen, grounded out to Ryan Zimmerman on a 97-mph fastball. After giving up consecutive singles to Don Kelly and Alex Avila, Strasburg regrouped and struck out Brent Dlugach looking on an 81-mph curveball. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft, Strasburg threw 27 pitches, 15 for strikes. Bill Ladson is a reporter for MLB.com.

Lazy, I actually watched the Strasburg debut on MLB.com. He looked very good in a short stint. Based on the fact the Nats are heading for 0-8 after today with a staff ERA of over 9.00 they may have no choice but start this kid!

Not too many other teams can match their starting pitching. Not too mention an ace closer in Brian Wilson. It's Matt Cain for the sweep against the Redbirds today. :willya

Garza, Rays continue roll with rout of Royals
Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Matt Garza gave up one run over six sharp innings, Jason Bartlett and Reid Brignac drove in three runs apiece and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Kansas City Royals 11-1 on Thursday night. The Rays, at 17-5, are off to the majors best start after 22 games since the 2003 San Francisco Giants opened that season 18-4. Tampa Bay has won 14 of 16, outscoring opponents 117-44 during the stretch. Garza (4-1) scattered five hits, walked two and struck out nine. The right-hander improved to 1-4 in seven career games against the Royals. |

R.I.P. Jose Lima:
NEW YORK -- Former All-Star right-hander Jose Lima died Sunday morning at his home in Los Angeles at the age of 37. The cause of death was ruled a heart attack, according to his wife, Dorca Astacio. "Jose was complaining while sleeping and I just thought he was having a nightmare," Astacio told ESPNdeportes.com. "I called the paramedics, but they couldn't help him." Lima was 89-102 in 13 seasons with the Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets. He was selected to the All-Star Game with Houston in 1999, when he won a career-high 21 games. Lima didn't return to the major leagues after being released by the Mets in 2006, when he went 0-4 in four games pitched. Last winter, Lima played for the Aguilas Cibaenas in the Dominican Republic and had announced plans to do the same in the upcoming season. Royals designated hitter Jose Guillen, who played with Lima for the Escogido Lions of the Dominican winter league, said he heard of Lima's death before Sunday's game in Kansas City against Colorado. "A writer told me the news while I was at batting practice and I just dropped the bat. I froze," Guillen said in a telephone interview. Guillen added that he'll wear the initials JL on his helmet as a sign of respect for his deceased friend. "This is painful. Jose Lima has died," said Red Sox DH David Ortiz, who also played with Lima in the Dominican league. |

Got to shuffle your feet!
Tampa Bay Rays' Sean Rodriguez okay after encounter with stingray By Marc Topkin, Times Staff Writer In Print: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 ST. PETERSBURG — Infielder Sean Rodriguez earned a painful distinction this week he could do without: the first Ray to be stung by a stingray. Rodriguez was on the beach Monday morning behind his Redington Beach rental condo when he took his 2-year-old daughter, Sofia, a couple of feet into the water for a closer look at some dolphins. A few steps (and a stingray shuffle or two) later, he saw something flash through the water and felt something on his right heel. "I actually thought it was a catfish at first, that it grazed me. I didn't think much of it," Rodriguez said. "And then I got out of the water, and I was like whoooaaaa." Shortstop Jason Bartlett and his 1-year-old son Jaden were with the Rodriguezes and lent an handy assist. "He heard me screaming and he goes, 'What got you?' and I was like, 'Man, I don't know,' " Rodriguez said. "I was coming out of the water and there was just straight blood shooting out, like a straight line." Bartlett ran and got a towel to help Rodriguez stem the bleeding, and since neither was sure exactly what to do — and their wives were out jogging — they knew they had better get medical assistance. "I ran up and called 911 and had the paramedics come out just in case," Bartlett said. "They got there, they looked at it and they're like, yeah, it's a stingray. We were panicking, wondering if they've got poison in them, and they're like just put it in hot water and treat it like a cut." Aside from the scary-looking trail of blood he left on the beach, Rodriguez, 25, said he was fine and with some padding able to put on his spikes and play. He wound up being needed, replacing Carl Crawford when he was ejected in the fifth. Having grown up in Miami, he has spent plenty of time in water, has stepped on various things and been stung by jellyfish, but this was his first encounter with a stingray. Maybe, he theorized, it was karmic convergence because he and his cousin had been fishing another day, accidentally hooked a ray and had to cut the line. "I think that guy went to his buddies and said, 'Hey I've got a hook in my mouth, it's time for payback,' " Rodriguez said. "It got me." |

Kendry Morales breaks his leg jumping on home plate after a walk off home run....And strangest of all. The Giants scored 12 runs. Which is more than they have the entire rest of the season combined.

All of us who love the game appreciate the historic nature of his effort last night. "The dignity and class of the entire Detroit Tigers organization under such circumstances were truly admirable and embodied good sportsmanship of the highest order. Armando and Detroit manager Jim Leyland are to be commended for their handling of a very difficult situation. I also applaud the courage of umpire Jim Joyce to address this unfortunate situation honestly and directly. Jim's candor illustrates why he has earned the respect of on-field personnel throughout his accomplished career in the Major Leagues since 1989. "As Jim Joyce said in his postgame comments, there is no dispute that last night's game should have ended differently. While the human element has always been an integral part of baseball, it is vital that mistakes on the field be addressed. Given last night's call and other recent events, I will examine our umpiring system, the expanded use of instant replay and all other related features. Before I announce any decisions, I will consult with all appropriate parties, including our two unions and the Special Committee for On-Field Matters, which consists of field managers, general managers, club owners and presidents." mlb.com Hmmm... |

Well Strasburg looked great and showed poise and control. Be interesting to see how he pitches against the top clubs or his second go around when teams have seen him before. As a fan though I am pissed cause if they had started him day 1 Nats might be in the thick of the race. Guess they wanted to save his eligibility for free agency eyc by calling him up in June. but what's the diff on his arm throwing innings in minors or majors? Now just sign Harper and I will be real happy. haven't been this happy about my Exponats since the days of the Hawk.

and a third Ralph Houk, Yankees Manager, Dies at 90 By RICHARD GOLDSTEIN Published: July 21, 2010 Ralph Houk, a third-string catcher for the Yankees who went on to win three straight American League pennants and two World Series championships in his first seasons as their manager, died Wednesday at his home in Winter Haven, Fla. He was 90. His death, coming soon after those of the Yankees’ principal owner, George Steinbrenner, and their former public address announcer Bob Sheppard, was announced by Houk’s daughter, Donna Slaboden. When he became the Yankee manager in October 1960, Houk stepped into a pressure-filled situation: he was replacing a man who had won 10 pennants and 7 World Series. “There’s only one Casey Stengel,” the Yankees’ new manager said. “I’m Ralph Houk.” Houk had displayed courage as an armored corps officer in World War II, and on returning to baseball he became known as “the Major,” a tribute to his commanding presence, whatever the uniform. As he got ready to manage in a World Series game for the first time, against the Cincinnati Reds in 1961, Houk was asked whether he was nervous. “Why, is somebody going to be shooting at me?” he replied, according to “The Man in the Dugout,” a book about managers by Leonard Koppett. Houk managed for 20 seasons, with the Yankees, the Detroit Tigers and the Boston Red Sox. He was known for building the morale and confidence of his players with an optimistic outlook and a refusal to criticize them publicly. “I don’t think you can humiliate a player and expect him to perform.” he said. Ralph George Houk was born in Kansas on Aug. 9, 1919, the son of a farmer. A star athlete in high school, he was signed by the Yankees as a catcher in 1939. After playing in the minors for three seasons, Houk enlisted in the Army as a private but received a lieutenant’s commission after officer candidate school. He took part in the invasion of Normandy in June 1944 and the Battle of the Bulge that December, when he received the Silver Star for exposing himself to enemy fire as he drove off German tanks near a village in Luxembourg. When he was discharged as a major at war’s end, Houk took home a souvenir: a helmet he had worn at Omaha Beach with holes in the front and back, a bullet having narrowly missed his skull. In his first game with the Yankees, on April 26, 1947, Houk got three hits against the Washington Senators, and he went on to hit .272 in 41 games. But that was his best season. With Yogi Berra en route to the Hall of Fame as the Yankee catcher, Houk appeared in only 91 games and had 158 at-bats over seven seasons, never hitting a home run. He spent most of his time in the bullpen. “I used to sit out there with pitchers who weren’t in the starting rotation, and I learned exactly what went through their minds,” Houk told the sportswriter Lee Allen. In 1955, Houk was named manager of the Yankees’ top minor league team, the Denver Bears, of the American Association. In three years at Denver he managed future Yankees like Tony Kubek, Bobby Richardson, Don Larsen and Johnny Blanchard. After the Yankees lost the 1960 World Series to the Pittsburgh Pirates, Stengel was forced out, at age 70, in favor of Houk, and General Manager George Weiss was replaced by his aide, Roy Hamey. Houk made his debut as manager in an epic season: Roger Maris hit 61 home runs to break Babe Ruth’s record. The Yankees defeated the Reds in a five-game World Series, then captured the Series again in 1962, beating the San Francisco Giants in seven games. They repeated as pennant winners in 1963 but were swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Series. Houk joined Hughie Jennings, who managed the Tigers to American League pennants from 1907 to 1909, as the only managers to finish in first place in each of their first three seasons. After the 1963 season Hamey retired because of health problems, Houk was elevated to general manager, and Berra was named manager. The Yankees won the pennant again in 1964, but lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games in the World Series. Berra, having never won the players’ respect the way Houk had, was fired after the 1964 season and replaced with Johnny Keane, who had managed the Cardinals to the Series championship and then quit. The Yankees’ stars were getting old, and the team finished sixth in 1965. When the Yankees got off to a 4-16 start in 1966, Houk fired Keane and returned to the dugout. The Yankees fell to 10th and last place, and during the season CBS took over complete ownership. In January 1973, a syndicate headed by Steinbrenner bought the team. Under CBS, Houk had a free hand on the field while Lee MacPhail handled the front-office duties. But Steinbrenner let Houk know how he felt things should be done and was overheard making derogatory comments about some of the players. Houk quit on the final day of the 1973 season as the Yanks finished fourth in the Eastern Division. He said he had not accomplished what he hoped for. “I blame no one but myself,” he said. Houk managed for five years in Detroit, never finishing higher than fourth place, then retired to his Florida home. But he returned to baseball in 1981 as manager of the Red Sox and had modest success in Boston over four seasons. He had a career record of 1,619 victories and 1,531 defeats. On retiring as a manager for a second and final time, he stood 10th on the career list in games managed, won and lost. In November 1986 he became a vice president of the Minnesota Twins and helped build their World Series championship team of the following season. In addition to his daughter, of Westerville, Ohio, Houk is survived by his son, Robert, of Bainbridge Island, Wash.; 4 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren. His wife, Bette, died in 2006. When Houk was named manager of the Yankees, he affected no false bravado. As Clete Boyer remembered: “At his first meeting, Ralph said we knew how to play the game better than he did. So if we wanted to bunt, bunt. If we wanted to hit and run, then hit and run.” But his players never forgot that Houk was in command. As Kubek put it in “Sixty-One,” a remembrance of the 1961 season, written with Terry Pluto: “None of us questioned Ralph. He was the Major.” |

Title: Re: MLB 2010 (nsc) Post by StPeteStone on Aug 2nd, 2010 at 4:12pm :whydontcha Rasslin' Rays: Balfour on DL after horseplay with pitching coach By David Brown The home-plate celebration broken leg. The postgame-interview face pie torn meniscus. These freak injuries have nothing on the pitching coach/reliever roughhouse-wrestling strained rib muscle. The Tampa Bay Rays placed right-handed set-up man Grant Balfour(notes) on the disabled list because of an injury to his left side suffered because he and pitching coach Jim Hickey (pictured carrying the glove) were engaged in tomfoolery on the field before batting practice Friday. Balfour, a highly valuable bridge to closer Rafael Soriano(notes), is expected to miss 4-6 weeks. His loss prompted general manager Andrew Friedman to acquire Chad Qualls(notes) from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a deadline deal. The Rays, who are one game behind the New York Yankees in the AL East standings, seem to be taking this well considering. Balfour, one of the league's harder throwers and more effective relievers, had pitched 22 times in the seventh inning this season without allowing a run. The Aussie rules. Or, ruled. Via the St. Petersburg Times: "[It's] just kind of a freaky thing ... something that guys do almost every day in these situations," manager Joe Maddon said. "Nothing ever happens. It happened." Yep, it's all fun and games until someone loses a reliever. Unlike Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez, who banned the shaving-cream face pie after Chris Coghlan(notes) ripped up his knee last week, Maddon said he won't make any changes to his team's conduct policy. It's usually hard to argue with Maddon, who wears the smartest glasses in the majors. But I dunno about this. Considering the nature of the baseball season — the redundancy, the cabin fever, the claustrophobia — it's foolish to expect guys not to jump on each other's backs from time to time in a playful, ancient Greek sort of way. If Dustin Pedroia(notes), for example, wanted to ride David Ortiz(notes) around Fenway Park like they're a jockey and pony combination, well, stuff's going to happen. My problem with this: Hickey is a coach. Boys will be boys, but Hickey's supposed to be an adult. Shouldn't Dan Wheeler(notes) or James Shields(notes) be jumping on Balfour's back doing the Boston Crab — or whatever kind of shenanigans? The Rays front office, too, won't punish anyone. But Friedman almost — almost — made it sound like things would be different from now on. "It's obviously very frustrating and obviously very avoidable now that you look back on it in retrospect," Friedman said. "Both guys were kidding around; It's what happens in a major league clubhouse all the time. "Nothing [bad] ever happens, but when it does, hopefully it makes people more conscious of that because we have a chance to do special things this year, and that's the part of it that's frustrating." Ah, Friedman is playing "the disappointed parent" card. But shouldn't somebody get grounded over this? I'm not suggesting Hickey lose his job, although, would it be the most shocking thing if he did after the season? He's not a 25-year-old player. He's a man, and he's 48. |

RIP Bobby Thompson....86 years old.
finally...i beat shoey to announcing an RIP!! -------------------- A Giant is gone: Bobby Thomson dies at age 86 By 'Duk The Giant who hit the home run for the ages now belongs to them. As first reported by the New York Daily News, Bobby Thomson — the man who hit "The Shot Heard 'Round The World" to win the 1951 NL pennant — died "peacefully" at his Georgia home on Monday night. He was 86 years old and had been in poor health. Thomson played for five teams over 15 seasons, hit 264 career home runs and was a three-time All-Star. But he ensured his name will always be remembered on Oct. 3, 1951, the day he hit his dramatic home run off Brooklyn's Ralph Branca to send the Giants to a 5-4 victory that earned them entry into the 1951 World Series. It has often been called the greatest home run of all time. Thomson's blast landed in the left-field stands at the Polo Grounds and capped a four-run ninth-inning rally that was emblematic of the Giants' season. The team trailed the Dodgers by 13 1/2 games on Aug. 11, but went 37-7 to finish the season and force a three-game tiebreaker series with their crosstown rivals. Thomson's home run to win the decisive third game was so big that it basically made the ensuing World Series a historical footnote. (Who ever remembers that the Giants lost to the Yankees in six games?) Though a 2001 Wall Street Journal story alleged that the moment was a product of stolen signs, Thomson never admitted to knowing what was coming from Branca. But that's neither here nor there as today is a day to remember the man who experienced baseball's ultimate feeling before players like Carlton Fisk, Kirk Gibson, Kirby Puckett and Aaron Boone(notes) ever did. There are undoubtedly going to be a lot of nostalgic baseball fans reminiscing about that game and even more "The Giants win the pennant!" impressions going on over the next few days. |

According to the WashPost:
"Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg likely will be placed on the disabled list. Strasburg, who strained the flexor tendon in his right forearm in his start Saturday in Philadelphia, likely will go on the 15-day disabled list, Nationals manager Jim Riggleman said. The move, according to Adam Kilgore, may not become official until Thursday, when Strasburg had been scheduled to make his next start. Strasburg was on the 15-day DL earlier this summer because of shoulder tightness. Jordan Zimmermann could start, Kilgore reports, in Strasburg's place." |

Title: Re: MLB 2010 (nsc) Post by mojoman on Aug 26th, 2010 at 1:12pm
The Phils' mojo is MIA at a bad time
If there was anything more disturbing in the chaos of this week than Scott Barry's umpire-from-hell routine, it was the absence of the Phillies' mojo. What happened to this team? If some sawed-off drama queen in blue messed with them the way Barry did Tuesday night, the Phillies we knew would take it out on the other team. If a game stretched on into the weirdness of the wee hours, with pitchers in left field and no one left in the bullpen, those Phillies could be counted on to find a way to win. When the going got weird, this team got going. After Jimmy Rollins hit that tying home run in the bottom of the ninth Tuesday, you just knew the Phillies would win the game. But no. Long before a minor-league umpire flicked Ryan Howard's previously undiscovered rage button, the Phillies let a series of minor-league pitchers render their bats useless. And when the Atlanta Braves channeled the 2007 Mets by blowing a 10-1 lead in Colorado Wednesday afternoon, you just knew the still simmering Phillies would take out their frustration on old buddy J.A. Happ and the Astros. But no. Even with Roy Halladay breezing through the Houston lineup, the Phillies couldn't manage a single hit until Jayson Werth's fifth-inning home run. What happened to this team? You caught a glimmer of that mojo in the bottom of the sixth. With Halladay on first, Shane Victorino took a pitch off his left elbow and started for first. Plate umpire Brian Knight called him back, saying Victorino didn't try to avoid the ball. It's a call few umpires make any more, but it was exponentially worse given the events of the previous couple nights. Victorino argued briefly. Charlie Manuel came out and asked for an explanation. Then Victorino got back in the batter's box and drilled a single to left. That's how the Phillies of the past few years would have responded. "I never blame the umpires," Manuel said. "If they make a bad call, you just have to play over it. That's all part of the game. You have to play over it." But the wave of righteousness crested after just one more hitter. Placido Polanco doubled to score Halladay, then Chase Utley and Werth made meek outs to strand runners on second and third. Halladay promptly gave the Astros the lead back in the top of the seventh. If the – ahem -- best lineup in the National League had been merely competent while Joe Blanton, Cole Hamels and Halladay were doing their jobs in this series, the Phillies would have greeted Thursday morning with a half-game lead over the Braves in the NL East. "You score one or two runs, you're going to get beat," Manuel said after the Phillies' third loss in a row. "One, two runs don't win games." Instead, circumstance brought an Astros team with some edgy ex-Phillies to town just as the home team's lineup sputtered and stalled. Utley and Ryan Howard rejoined the team, but their swings remained on the disabled list. The last thing the Phillies needed was the best darn crew of amateur umpires in baseball. Greg Gibson and his incredible moving baseline led to the winning run Monday night, but that was nothing compared to Barry's performance Tuesday. The Phillies are in a pennant race and here's a fill-in minor-league umpire creating a confrontation with Howard in the 14th inning. That breathtakingly unprofessional act forced Roy Oswalt to play left field and, worse yet, altered the way the final inning played out. With the Phillies' bench empty, the Astros were able to walk Utley intentionally with a runner on second and retire Oswalt to end the game. Barry, who ejected Washington's Ryan Zimmerman in a similar act of arrogance last week, needs some more time in the minors. Like maybe the rest of the decade. To make matters worse, Barry, Gibson, Knight and crew chief Sam Holbrook broke with baseball protocol and refused to talk to reporters about any of this. They did not help themselves. The lingering impression is that they can't defend or explain their actions, which makes it that much worse when another close play goes against the Phillies. Presto, that happened in the seventh. In a mashup of previous lowlights, Ben Francisco was picked off third to crush a possible rally. Gibson called him out, bringing poor Manuel running from the dugout again. The replay seemed to show that Francisco was safe, but his lack of focus and awkward step back to the bag made it possible for Gibson to call him out. He did, of course. If the Phillies see this umpiring crew again in 2010, someone at MLB headquarters should be fired. If the Phillies miss the postseason by a game, this crew will have tainted a pennant race. Ultimately, though, if the Phillies don't score more than two runs a game, they're going to miss the postseason by a lot more than a game – and deservedly so. "We still have 36 games to play," Manuel said. "We definitely have time to catch [Atlanta]. The last three, four years, you've seen these same players. They definitely can still play." :blankfriggingstare1 :kissmyass :nanker :boring :wtf1 :aimama :sad :Youmakeagrownmancrylikejoey |

Devastating news -- for the Nats and all of baseball:
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/nationalsjournal/2010/08/stephen_strasburg_probably_nee.html?hpid=topnews Stephen Strasburg 'probably' needs Tommy John surgery, will miss 12 to 18 months Rookie phenom Stephen Strasburg will "probably" miss at least one year and perhaps the entire 2011 baseball season after undergoing Tommy John surgery to replace the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, General Manager Mike Rizzo said. After one of the most electrifying beginnings to a baseball career in memory and after validating the massive hype that trumpeted his arrival, Strasburg ends his season with an uncertain future. The Washington Nationals will hold their breath. Strasburg will receive a second opinion from Dr. Lewis Yocum, the surgeon who performed Tommy John surgery on Jordan Zimmermann. But the Nationals are operating under the assumption Strasburg will need Tommy John surgery to repair a "significant" tear in his UCL, Mike Rizzo said. The Nationals discovered the damaged ligament Thursday morning when team doctor Wiemi Douoguih administered an arthrogram, an enhanced MRI exam in which dye is shot into the specified area. The Nationals had been unclear about Strasburg's injury prior to the test and were considering Strasburg's injury a strained flexor tendon in his forearm. Tommy John surgery requires a grueling, 12-to-18 month rehab, but the success rate for pitchers returning to full strength and capability is roughly 90 percent. While the surgery will rob Strasburg of most if not all of next season, the chances he will be able to continue his career as a flame-throwing strikeout artist are strong. Strasburg finishes his first year in the majors with a 5-3 record, a 2.91 ERA, 17 walks and 92 strikeouts in 68 innings, giving him the highest strikeout rate per nine innings -- 12.2 -- of any starting pitcher in the majors. The first sign Strasburg would need the major surgery on his elbow came Saturday in Philadelphia, in the middle of one of his best starts this season. He threw a 1-1 changeup in the fifth inning to Phillies outfielder Domonic Brown, then grimaced and reached for his elbow. He believed he could pitch through the sudden tightness he felt, but the Nationals yanked him the game. In the dugout, pitching coach Steve McCatty slammed shut the small metal door covering the bullpen phone. Strasburg also experienced inflammation in his right shoulder, which caused the Nationals to scratch him front a start in late July and place him on the disabled list for the first time. Strasburg made only three more starts before pain shot through his one-in-a-million right arm again. The Nationals tried to proceed with caution in every way they could, limiting Strasburg's pitches and innings during his two-month stay in the minor leagues and when he arrived in the majors. Strasburg never threw more than seven innings or threw more than 99 pitches in any one start. Between the minors and majors, Strasburg threw 123 1/3 innings. But Strasburg still succumbed to the same fate as Jordan Zimmermann, another young right-hander the Nationals project as a frontline starter. Zimmermann required Tommy John surgery last August after his elbow broke down in late July before he reached 100 major league innings. Zimmermann returned to the majors Thursday night, 399 days after he underwent surgery and almost exactly 13 months since his last major league appearance. |

Title: Re: MLB 2010 (nsc) Post by StPeteStone on Sep 16th, 2010 at 10:33am
I don't think a new ballpark will make much of a difference. A big excuse people give is the location of the Trop and that it's too hard to get to St. Pete from Tampa. I agree that we might be losing a few people coming from Orlando with the ball park being in St. Pete, but the drive from Tampa to St. Pete is nothing. I have no doubt it's easier to get to then ballparks in many other cities. It's just a lame excuse. Also, the Tampa bay area has so many transplants that won't give up their allegiances to the teams where they originally come from. They might have moved to the area when they were five years old and thirty years later it’s still “Go Yankees!” They wouldn’t move back to New York for anything, but that’s their “home team”. Then they start brainwashing their kids young, buying them the NY gear and cycle continues. It’s the same for Boston, Chicago or where ever. I don’t know if people will ever come to the park down here, no matter where it’s located or how state of the art it is. It’s sad and embarrassing. But damn we got a good team!

Very disappointing second half for the Nats, I think -- especially in light of what the Astros and O's are doing. No Strasburg next year. Quite probably no Dunn. Pitchers Zimmerman, Detweiler, Maya show hints of quality, but nothing that instills a ton of confidence. The aging Livan Hernandez is the best guy in the rotation. None of this bodes well for next season. |

If the Rays can shore up their rotation, they're going to be a handful. Yanks aren't going to have it as easy as they did last year.
As for the Phils -- to be down 7 games two months ago, now to be up by almost that many. Out of all the good things that have happened to the team since '07, this may be the sweetest, second only to the Series. |

The first round is the Division Series, which is a best-of-five series that matches up the top four teams in each league. The team with the best overall record gets the top seed and home-field advantage in the playoffs. It hosts Games 1, 2 and 5 in the Division Series round. The team with the second-best record will hosts Games 1, 2 and 5 in its series. Typically the wild-card team plays the team with the best overall record. But if those teams are in the same division, then the wild-card team will face the team with the second-best record. |

SCL?
Giants' Cain pummeled, Padres move 2 games back!! (10-02) 00:10 PDT -- Something did not feel right around China Basin before Friday night's game. Too many folks outside the clubhouse were discussing a clinching victory as if it were fait accompli, too many "whens," not enough "ifs" and way too little respect for a desperate Padres team with 88 wins. Make that 89 wins. A night that began with orange-clad fans waving orange towels and cheering players in orange jerseys turned blue and silent in a hurry. The Padres shelled Matt Cain for three home runs on his 26th birthday, roared ahead 6-0 by the fifth inning then held on for a 6-4 victory that gave them an ingredient they have lacked of late - hope - while keeping the National League West race alive. Cain had not surrendered three homers in a game all year before Ryan Ludwick hit a curveball over the center-field wall in the second inning, Adrian Gonzalez hit a three-run shot to right-center in the third after pitcher Clayton Richard started the rally with a single, and old man Matt Stairs hit a solo in the fourth. Ludwick and Gonzalez were a combined 5-for-48 on the Padres' just-completed homestand. "I just left some big pitches over the plate," Cain said. He acknowledged he was "a bit nervous, but it was a good nervous." The home clubhouse was not as glum as one might think after such a loss, as the Giants clung to their four-run rally. It was engineered by backup outfielders Cody Ross and Aaron Rowand, who combined for four big hits. Neither started the game. The Giants forced manager Bud Black to run through his stable of prized late relievers. That included a four-out save from closer Heath Bell, who retired Andres Torres on a groundball with the tying runs aboard to end the eighth, then benefited from a terrible running mistake by Freddy Sanchez in the ninth. After four innings, one might have argued that the momentum had shifted well into San Diego's corner. The Giants hope the final five innings shifted it back. "For us to rally back down six runs and make a game of it, you can flip a coin," Rowand said. "They won the first game, but we definitely gave them something to think about, and we're not going to lie down." The Giants remain in command. The Padres still have to beat them three times in a row to win the division, today and Sunday in San Francisco, and Monday in a potential one-game playoff in San Diego. But the Padres got their most important win, the first one, by clobbering the Giants' best starter and beating them at their own game, the long ball. Cain had not lost since Aug. 18. Furthermore, the Padres know that today they face a pitcher, Barry Zito, with one win in his last 10 decisions. At least for the Giants' sake it was his most recent decision. San Diego counters with Tim Stauffer, who has been rock-solid since he rejoined the rotation in early September. The Giants had an opening in the ninth when Bell walked the leadoff hitter, Sanchez. Aubrey Huff then drilled a ball toward the right-field corner, where Wil Venable caught it at the wall. Sanchez said he thought Huff had homered, or at least hit one off the top of the wall, and was around second base when the catch was made. He was doubled off, and Buster Posey grounded out to end the game. "I take pride in being a good baserunner, the best baserunner I can be," Sanchez said. "That wasn't my smartest move right there. It would have been nice to see what would have happened had I not done what I did. I'm going to try to be professional about it, get a good night's sleep and come back tomorrow." Ross, who entered in a double switch, doubled in the fifth and scored the Giants' first run on a Sanchez single off Richard. Rowand hit a pinch two-run homer in the sixth off Richard, a shocking blow for a back-bencher who had batted only three times since Sept. 16. Ross drove in the fourth run with his second double in two innings. As fans were filing in, a promotion for a Comcast news show ran on the big stadium video board. The announcer said loudly enough to be heard on Potrero Hill, "Will this be the night the Giants pop the Champagne corks?" Might have been a good idea to keep that line on ice until the Padres finished batting practice and walked off the field. Perhaps they saw it. Perhaps they didn't. In either case, the Champagne stayed on ice |

MLB approves catwalk ground rules change
Monday, October 4, 2010 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Just in time for the playoffs, Major League Baseball has approved a change in the grounds rules for Tropicana Field that affects fly balls that strike the upper two catwalks in the domed stadium. Instead of being in play, a batted ball that caroms off the A- and B-ring catwalks that support the stadium roof will be ruled a dead ball and the pitch will not count. Balls that strike the two lower catwalks in fair territory will continue to be home runs. The Rays requested the change after Jason Kubel's two-out, ninth-inning pop clanked off one of the catwalks and fell behind the pitcher's mound, driving in the go-ahead run in Minnesota's 8-6 victory over Tampa Bay on Aug. 5. The Rays had scored six times in the eighth inning to tie the game. Copyright 2010 Associated Press. All right reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. |

I can finally talk about that game. Damn, what a blown opprotunity! We played very sloppy which is unusual, but not being able to hit is nothing new. What Maddon was thinking starting c. Kelly Shoppach, I'll never understand...he's a sub 200 hitter and his defense doesn't make up for it. Christ, their fat ass catcher stole a base on us and Shoppach never even threw the ball and a decent throw would have got him. Cliff Lee is a stud and I'll be rooting for him and Texas the rest of the way, hopefully. Maddon is a huge Stone's fan, during the 2008 playoffs they were part of his pregame ritual.

Bruce Bochy has turned into a magician. Every move works. A team of veteran castoffs and hot young pitchers,put together with spit,polish and duct tape is 2 games from a championship. Not over yet. But what a fun fucking ride it's been so far.

Fox’s World Series Coverage: A Field of Bad Dreams
12:00 AM 11/2/2010 by Tim Goodman Fox isn’t alone in its East Coast bias, but not giving the Giants and Rangers credit is an error: A THR analysis. This column will appear in the first issue of the re-launched Hollywood Reporter which appears on newsstands Wednesday. It was written two days before the Giants clinched the World Series on Monday night. It’s a truism in baseball that a runner who breaks too early for the next base and gets caught in a rundown looks like a scrambling fool. His fate sealed, he dances around for as long as possible before being tagged out. Fox looks a lot like that right now, broadcasting a World Series matchup it didn’t really want to happen. (At press time, the Series wasn’t over.) San Francisco and Texas are big markets — this isn’t Milwaukee vs. Tampa Bay, after all — but the East Coast bias so prevalent in all sports was clear weeks ago as postseason baseball began the elimination battle. In the end, Fox not only wanted the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies but assumed on-air that the matchup was likely — six of eight analysts picked the Yankees over the Rangers and 10 of 10 picked the Phillies over the Giants, which is just the beginning of a wider slant. Pre-ordaining favorites is an old sports custom as well, but when it goes wrong, nothing looks more ungainly than all the backpedaling and linguistic gymnastics needed to make your mistake seem less embarrassing. Of course, Fox isn’t the only offender here. ESPN — one of the most flagrant when it comes to East Coast bias unless it involves Kobe Bryant — never really got on the Giants or Rangers bandwagon. Their anchors at least had respect for Texas, though it was hard to hear through all the slobbery Yankees praise. The outlet that came closest to an even-handed view was the MLB Network, which (like most of the public) appreciated the Giants pitchers and the Rangers’ bats and speed, though MLB didn’t expect them to be around for long. Once the two teams knocked off their East Coast competition, the network began airing in-depth reporting that qualified as a make-up kiss. The World Series coverage on Fox is visually satisfying. The camera work, replays and isolation coverage has been spot-on. Unfortunately, the announcing has been as grating as expected. There are not a lot of die-hard baseball fans who want to hear Tim McCarver talk about anything. McCarver actually inspired ShutUpTimMcCarver.com — a site that regrettably hasn’t been updated since 2006, most likely because the person hosting the site just couldn’t take it anymore. Joe Buck — who does the play-by-play while McCarver is adding color or expert analysis (also known as annoying prattle) — does a better job but nothing on par with, say, local announcers or someone like Jon Miller. In fact, the sports site Deadspin recently put up a tutorial: “Silencing Joe Buck and Tim McCarver: A Simple Tech Solution to Our Crappy World Series Announcers.” In detail, it showed how fans could sync local radio broadcasts with the actual TV coverage (which generally has a delay). At least Fox gets some credit for finally figuring out that in its failed dreams and prayers of an all-East Coast World Series, there’s a story to be found in the underdog Giants; virtually no one picked them to beat Texas). How Fox took so long to see what any good journalist could suss out in a day or so is beyond explanation. But for the first two games in San Francisco, it dawned on Fox that not only is the city a picture-postcard of a visual dream, but the Giants play in one of the most beautiful ballparks in the major leagues. McCarver aside, it’s nice to see aerial shots of the waterfront AT&T Park, both day and night. Fox also realized that this Giants team is a collection of quirky dudes. You’ve got the “Fear the Beard” phenomenon of tattooed closer Brian Wilson’s ridiculously awesome (and dyed) black facial hair. He wears that with a mohawk. You’ve got ace pitcher Tim Lincecum, aka “The Freak,” whose long hair, small frame and major heat are a great package. Plus all the adults — and yes, kids — wearing those panda hats in honor of Pablo “Kung Fu Panda” Sandoval (whose seasonlong slump has left him a nonfactor other than on the sartorial end). Plus, San Francisco fans are just a lot weirder than Texas fans, as Texas star Josh Hamilton noted when he mentioned all the pot smoking in the stands. How can Fox botch this? By worrying too much about ratings. Sure, you didn’t get your dream matchup. Early ratings were down compared with two years go, which was the lowest-rated Series ever. But hey, they’re not down as much as “Running Wilde,” so there’s some consolation. Seriously, if you pay for the rights to broadcast the Series, there’s always a chance you’ll get two ugly ducks instead of one glorious swan and one relatively hot seagull. Of course, that makes about as much sense as half the stuff McCarver says. Here’s some simple advice to Fox for next year: Lose the East Coast bias and cover the hell out of whichever teams you get from whatever city earns the right to play in the Fall Classic. Forget about fretting over ratings. You’ll get it all back in January with “American Idol” anyway. E-mail chief television critic Tim Goodman at [email protected]. |

OMG..can this really be true?....my team of 40 plus years actually is a player now?......(still have serious doubts that this rumor is true)
Nats preparing mega-deal for Lee By CHRIS RUDDICK, Sports Network LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- If you thought the Washington Nationals were done after the Jayson Werth deal, you were sadly mistaken. The buzz here in Lake Buena Vista as Day 2 of Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings gets underway is that the Nationals are getting ready to offer Cliff Lee a monster deal. There were reports late last night that stated that not only was Lee interested in a seven-year deal, but there was apparently a team out there willing to give it to him. New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman quickly said he would not go seven years for Lee, so who is the team? Well apparently it's the Nats. They had to overpay Werth for him to go there, now they are willing to do the same for Lee. Word is they are kicking the tires on a seven-year deal that could be worth up to $175 million. Werth was a nice piece, but if the Nationals can add Lee they are legitimate. Would Lee go there? Why not? Money talks and he would be insane to turn that down. The Yankees won't go that high and Texas won't match that. Honestly it would probably be $30-40 million more than any offer he would have received. How would the fans in Philadelphia like having to face Lee five times a year, while watching Werth patrol right field at Nationals Park? Obviously there are still a lot of holes on a Nationals team that lost 93 games last season and has averaged nearly 100 losses over the past three years. But Werth and Lee are a good start, especially if they can add another arm ... cough Carl Pavano cough. Not to mention Ryan Zimmerman is already there and the team does expects Stephen Strasburg to pitch for them at some point next season. I didn't like the Werth deal because I thought the money would have been better served being spread around. Well I guess I was wrong because even if they don't land Lee, they are not done spending and it's apparent the Nats still have plenty of money to burn. The Nats aren't just sending a message to the National League here at the Meetings, they are putting the entire league on notice that they are coming. |

Somewhere, stonesalot smiles......
i sense an alt country tambourine power ballad somewhere in here. you? ------------------ AP Source: Lee agrees to $100M deal with Phils By RONALD BLUM, AP Sports Writers 35 minutes ago NEW YORK (AP)—Turns out the Philadelphia Phillies do have enough money for both Cliff Lee(notes) and Roy Halladay(notes)—and Roy Oswalt(notes) and Cole Hamels(notes), too. A year after Phillies traded him away, Lee chose to rejoin them and form a fearsome foursome that is the envy of all of baseball. The free-agent pitcher passed up an extra $50 million from the New York Yankees and reached a preliminary agreement on a $100 million, five-year contract with the Phillies on Monday night, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press. The agreement is subject to the 32-year-old left-hander passing a physical, the person said on condition of anonymity because the agreement was not final. The Yankees and Texas Rangers had been considered the front-runners, but the Phillies wound up with the most-prized free agent of the offseason, reaching a deal that gives them a dominant rotation that likely is the strongest in the majors. Lee, the 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner, joins Halladay, a two-time Cy Young Award winner who won the NL honor last month. After Lee helped the defending champion Phillies reach the 2009 World Series, he was sent to Seattle in a four-team, nine-player trade last Dec. 16 that brought Halladay to Philadelphia. Halladay signed a new contract that added $60 million over three seasons, the same average salary Lee will get. Seattle traded Lee to Texas in July, and Lee pitched the Rangers into the World Series for the first time. The Phillies have been considering trading pitcher Joe Blanton(notes) and/or outfielder Raul Ibanez(notes) to clear payroll space, a person familiar with Philadelphia’s deliberations. said. That person spoke on condition of anonymity because those talks were ongoing. Lee and his family had a good time during his stay with the Phillies, who acquired him from Cleveland in July 2009. “At first, I didn’t believe it. I thought we were working out an extension with the Phillies,” Lee said the day after the trade. “I thought I’d be spending the rest of my career there. … I was under the impression they wanted to keep me there for a long time. In my mind, it was going to happen.” After advancing to the World Series in consecutive years, the Phillies were upset by the eventual champion San Francisco Giants in this year’s NL championship series. Earlier this month, outfielder Jayson Werth(notes) left Philadelphia for a $126 million, seven-year contract with the Washington Nationals. The Yankees and Texas received telephone calls Monday night telling them they were out of the running, two separate people familiar with those team’s negotiations said, also on condition of anonymity. New York had started with a $138 million, six-year offer to Lee, the person familiar with the Yankees’ negotiations said. After outfielder Carl Crawford(notes) agreed to a seven-year, $142 million deal with the Boston Red Sox, New York immediately increased its offer to Lee to $150 million over seven seasons, the person said. Lee’s wife felt insulted by fans at Yankee Stadium who were rude to her and Rangers family members during the ALCS. It was unclear whether that played a part in the decision. A fourth-round draft pick in 2000, Lee is 102-61 with a 3.85 ERA in nine major league seasons. He has excelled in the postseason, going 7-2 with a 2.13 ERA for Philadelphia and Texas in the past two years, including 3-0 with a 1.88 ERA against the Yankees. Lee won 18 games for Cleveland in 2005, then got hurt in spring training in 2007 and was demoted to the minors. He returned to the big leagues, finished 5-8 with a 6.29 ERA and was left off Cleveland’s postseason roster. He rebounded to go 22-3 with a 2.54 ERA in 2008 and was voted the AL Cy Young Award. He was 14-13 for the Indians and Phillies in 2009, and 12-9 for the Seattle Mariners and Rangers this year. With Lee’s departure, the Rangers could move closer Neftali Feliz(notes) from the bullpen to the rotation and may attempt to acquire 2009 AL Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke(notes) in a trade from the Kansas City Royals. This was a rare instance in which the Yankees’ financial might failed to land a player they wanted. After losing to Texas in the AL championship series, they are seeking to add pitching to a rotation that includes CC Sabathia(notes), Phil Hughes(notes) and A.J. Burnett(notes). New York is waiting to find out from Andy Pettitte(notes) whether he will pitch or retire; the Yankees also have promising Ivan Nova(notes), a hard-throwing right-hander who turns 24 next month. New York also held talks with Crawford before his agreement with the Red Sox, but never made an offer. |

Killebrew released a statement through the Minnesota Twins on Thursday saying that he is receiving treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. He calls his condition “very serious,” but says he expects to make a full recovery. Killebrew hit 573 home runs and made 11 All-Star appearances during his 22-year career spent mostly with the Washington Senators and Twins. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1984 and was fifth on the career home run list when he retired in 1974. Killebrew currently ranks 11th on the homer list. |

I will always remember that cold October day in 1979. Bert on the hill, blowing into his hand, pitching a gem in the 1979 NLCS. We haven't been back since. Thanks Bert!
Bert at his best at 0:45-0:52! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c84V486jzYY |

robbie, '79 was probably the last time you had a record above .500... 1879, that is. are the pirates cursed because of the steelers' success? discuss.

Palmeiro was the anti-clutch, or should i say, the anti-Alomar. Both were kind of pricks. Palmeiro was a higher BA, less powerful McGuire. Pass.

Starbie, not until the 2005 Super Bowl, neither the Steelers or the Pirates won a championship since 1979. They both won it all that year. A young Moonie and his even younger brother hit the jackpot buying and reselling World Series tickets to a bunch of drunken yinzers underneath the Fort Duquesne Bridge. |

Cubs Acquire Garza From Rays Buster Olney updates the latest on the Rays trading SP Matt Garza and two minor leaguers to Cubs for five players The Tampa Bay Rays and Chicago Cubs have agreed to a multi-player deal that will bring right-handed pitcher Matt Garza to Chicago, according to a major league source. The deal, which has been agreed to pending physicals, sends right-handed pitcher Chris Archer, outfielder Brandon Guyer, catcher Robinson Chirinos, shortstop Hak-Ju Lee and outfielder Sam Fuld to Tampa for Garza, minor league outfielder Fernando Perez and another minor leaguer. Archer, 22, combined to go 15-3 with 2.34 in 28 games between Single-A Daytona and Tennessee, and was the Cubs' 2010 minor league pitcher of the year. Archer was acquired by the Cubs in a trade that sent popular utility man Mark DeRosa to the Cleveland Indians. Guyer batted .344 with 13 home runs and 58 RBIs for Double-A Tennessee in 2010. The 24-year old was the Cubs' minor league player of the year. Lee batted .282 and stole 32 bases for Single-A Peoria. Fuld played in 98 games for the Cubs between 2007-10. He batted .299 in 65 games in '09. The Cubs and at least three other teams had been negotiating with the Rays about Garza since the December winter meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Garza, 27, is coming off his best season, compiling a 15-10 record with a 3.91 ERA. Garza averaged 6.6 strikeouts and 2.77 walks per nine innings. Hitters batted .248 against Garza in 2010. Tampa, in the mode of retooling the next few seasons, was willing to trade Garza for top young talent. The Rays were looking to get a shortstop, catcher and some top-caliber young pitching in return for Garza. |

Outstanding. The Spitter will not get so many chances @ Fenway. What are the Rays thinking?

Re-tooling I would think. They picked up some nice prospects in this deal. Making moves like the Marlins to save money. What will be your Sox payroll this year? Just south of a billion??..lol |

Letting Dunn slip away, dealing Willingham, picking up LaRoche, and grossly overpaying for Werth: seems like they're going to end up paying more for a not-significantly-better offense. I don't get it.

Actually those moves are not as bad as they appear. Dunn never hit in the clutch and lost games with poor D. Got a good pitching prospect for Willingham and when you are bad ya got to over pay for guys like Werth..although would rather have them land Crawford. losing Strasburg was huge but this franchise is jinxed so no surprise. At least ownership spent some $ to try and change the losing culture. |

Werth was pretty bad with RISP last year, although he had key hits toward the end of the season. Anyway, I seriously doubt he'll hit as many homers or drive in as many runs as Dunn did. Werth had 85 RBI last year in a hitter's park, and in a lineup stacked with quality bats. He'll give you good defense and speed on the basepaths, but he's simply not the kind of franchise player that a contract of that magnitude would suggest... Given Strasberg's absence this year, the Nats needed a quality starter more than a Jayson Werth. They took a run at Greinke, apparently, but that didn't pan out. ... On a side note, I think the NL East has an extraordinary amount of good pitchers this year -- maybe the best in baseball -- with the glaring exception of the Nats. It just looks to me like they're gong to get chewed up again. |

No doubt about that Mel...another long season without the Stras buzz isn't looking like fun...but heck I have been with this sad sack team since Spos in 1969 so qhat's another 5 yrs or so? |
