Lester Out-Duels Haren; Red Sox Top Angels 4-3

By ⋅ April 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox will escape facing Jared Weaver in this series with the Angels, but co-ace Dan Haren lined up against Sox ace Jon Lester Friday night. Terry Francona could hardly have asked for a better pitcher from his staff to handle the responsibility of winning a game for the manager’s birthday, and Lester proved [...]

Haren Injured in Angels Debut, Ortiz Homers Twice in Win

By ⋅ July 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

While the Angels pray (get it?) for the young Rangers pitchers to falter so they can gain some ground in the AL West, the team made a serious upgrade to their starting rotation, trading Joe Saunders and three minor league pitchers to the Diamondbacks for Dan Haren. It was a really good move for a [...]

Ortiz, Nava Lead Sox to Sweep of D-Backs

By ⋅ June 18, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Thursday night in Boston, the Red Sox moved up their start time to 6:10 to accommodate people who wanted to watch the Celtics and Lakers in Game 7. It was supposed to be a glorious night for Boston sports fans. The Sox did their part, defeating the hapless Diamondbacks 8-5 and sweeping away an Arizona [...]

Sell Dan Haren While You Still Can!

By ⋅ July 16, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Am I crazy? Some people may tell you differently, but I am so confident in this prediction that I am willing to put anything on the line. This is why I made a slap bet with my friend this week (those of you who watch “How I Met Your Mother” will know what I am [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 14 (7-6 – 7-12)

By ⋅ July 14, 2009 ⋅ One comment

I’d like to talk about Joe Mauer for a moment. With 15 HR, Mauer is currently tied for the 24th most HR in the American League. He hit 11 of his 15 home runs in the month of May, which is the only reason his home run total looks decent. With 15 on the season, [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 9 (6-1 – 6-7)

By ⋅ June 9, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Yay! Zack Greinke finally had his first bad start of the season in a 9-3 loss to the Blue Jays. I can now finally re-name the “Best Pitchers” section of the Wrap-Up. Greinke struggled last Friday against the Blue Jays by giving up five earned runs in five innings of work to raise his ERA [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 4 (4-27 – 5-3)

By ⋅ May 5, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Apparently I am not the only one who believes that Kansas City’s Zack Greinke is in trouble. The good people over at Sports Illustrated have it in for the young ace as evident by the fact that they decided to put him on last week’s cover. Like many other stories of sports lore, the “Sports Illustrated [...]

TGIF: Players I Targeted (2009 Edition)

By ⋅ April 3, 2009 ⋅ One comment

We all do it. As part of our draft preparation, we make our own version of ”the list.” This is the sacred document that you live by on draft day. It is your list of players you HAVE to have. These are players you justify reaching for with your own insane logic and often receive ridicule [...]

The World Baseball Classic is a Joke

By ⋅ March 2, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

We’re already on the second instance of the World Baseball Classic and Bud Selig’s wonderful idea has already become meaningless. I mean honestly, who would have thought that the World Baseball Classic would not produce the best baseball from the top talent? Who could believe that so many teams would keep their players that had [...]

By ⋅ January 30, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

With Pitchers and Catchers due to report to camp in just under two weeks, this signals the beginning of the 2009 baseball season. The game of fantasy baseball takes the most preparation due to the massive pool of players in the sport. Over the next few weeks, I will be breaking down the best players [...]

Fantasy Wrap-Up: Week 25 (9-15 – 9-21)

By ⋅ September 23, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s the final week of Fantasy Baseball in all Yahoo! leagues, and for those lucky people in the Championship Round, it’s time to pick up the players who are going to surge as the regular season comes to a close. Make reckless moves! Stream your pitching! Drop those players you once never thought were droppable [...]

Haren Outduels Beckett, Youkilis Suffers Black Eye

By ⋅ June 24, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Josh Beckett was a tough luck loser yet again as the Sox provided him no run support in a 2-1 loss. Beckett struck out eight in eight innings, allowing just two runs on five hits and two walks. Beckett was in dominant form, but he was up against Arizona’s No. 2 starter, Dan Haren, who [...]

Hot Stove: Johan Santana and Dan Haren to Red Sox?

By ⋅ November 9, 2007 ⋅ 4 comments

According to the Boston Globe for the Boston Red Sox to acquire Johan Santana they would need to give away Jon Lester or Clay Buchholz. But the Red Sox would not be willing to give away both. Also if they were to do the trade the Red Sox would want to be able to resign [...]
