Woes continue in Pittsburgh posted by Tom Ontis on 05/08/2008
Giants snakebit at PNC Park: Giants dropped another to the Pirates at PNC Park, 3-1. The highlight was the return of Barry Zito to the Giants rotation. Guess that 10 day layoff did him some good: 5 innings, 5 hits, 5 strikeouts, inclu... [more]

Rough Week for Cubs spells Rough Road Ahead posted by Ryan Neiman on 05/05/2008
After the Cubs had one of their best records in April in 1969, the start of May is starting to resemble the collapse towards of the season in 1969. In one their toughest weeks this season, nothing looked pretty as the Cubs just won two out six against there NL Central rivals the Brewers and the Cardinals. In a wee... [more]
Tim Redding posted by DCandVTSportsGuy on 05/04/2008
What an outing today! In the first game I actually got to watch on TV for quite a while, Redding pitched what was for the most part a gem. While he tailed off a bit after I stopped watching, he threw 6 and 1/3 innings and allowed 6 hits, 1 run (on an Adam Laroche HR) and struck out 5 Pirates against 0 walks. He tossed 96 pitches...

Saturday's Roundup posted by DCandVTSportsGuy on 05/03/2008
First off, I find it incredibly ironic that one of the NFL's most respected players, Marvin Harrison, is in some trouble. Even though things are pointing at this time toward the fact that he's not responsible, I still find it hard to believe th... [more]
The Night of the Blowouts posted by Street Reporter on 05/01/2008
For many baseball fans, last night wasn't a great night to watch baseball, as blowouts predominated early on. But, because of the beautiful game that is baseball, only three of them continued in their lopsided fashion, with the best of them highlighted by a homer from Micah Owings, the best-hitting pitcher in baseball, ...

Good Times in New York posted by Adam N. Rosario on 04/30/2008
Hello everyone, My name is Adam Rosario, and this is my first blog post. I'm a 24 year old from Brooklyn and a huge New York sports fan. I root for just about all the NY teams, except for the Islanders, and although I'm mostly a Yankees and Giants fan, I root for the Mets and Jets, too when they play oth... [more]
David Wright does it right in bottom of 11th! + Keith Hernandez grey hairs??? posted by nowayjose on 04/29/2008
Who do Mets fans want up with the game on the line more than David Wright? It was the bottom of the 11th and after a lead off walk to Jose Reyes and letting two other runners on base by the Pirates, David Wright came out and boy did he come out strong. A pitch down the middle had Wrights name written al... [more]
M'Bad: Zito to the 'pen! posted by Tom Ontis on 04/29/2008
EXRA, EXTRA: Barry Zito sent to the bullpen for an unspecified amount of time. His well publicized 0-6 start forced the hand of management. With a favorable schedule for the next two weeks, only four starters will be needed. So; 'Lights out' Lincecum, '... [more]
Case of the Mondays Patriots Linkage posted by Mike Dussault on 04/28/2008
Ugh, the Monday after the draft. It's going to be a long two plus months before training camp opens with only mini-camp providing any kind of Patriots related excitement. But we've got some new players, the defense has gotten younger and things are looking promising for the upcoming season. One thing I just have to lau... [more]
Dodgers' Jones needs to trim the fat. posted by Bleeding Dodger Blue on 04/17/2008
So I have noticed that my 2 year old son is thinning out and losing that baby fat. It makes we wonder when Andruw Jones will shed his? Ned Colletti, Joe Torre, and the rest of the Dodger spokes-holes are saying that his ... [more]

Heart Attack Special posted by Andy Schmidt on 04/08/2008
Watching yesterday's game was like being taken on a ride that you didn't agree to. The beginning of the ride is fun and you are excited but by the end, your heart is in your foot. How do you blow a 7-0 lead which none of us got to see by the way with the great WGN broadcast and allow the Pirates back into the game. Ted Lilly did... [more]
Time for the lefties posted by Andy Schmidt on 04/07/2008
As the Cubs open a three-game set in Pittsburgh, the North Siders will see their first two left-handed starters of the year, it will be interesting to see how the Cubs fear against these two. The Cubs faced the fewest number of left-handed starters in the league last year and were under .500 under them. Having Reed Johnson will ... [more]
