Lackey Continues to Rebound in 7-4 Win Against Seattle

By ⋅ July 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

They’re hardly an intimidating opposing lineup, especially with perennial all-star Ichiro Suzuki having a sub-par season, and yet John Lackey has to feel good about his game against the Seattle Mariners on Friday night. He pitched seven innings allowing just one run and no walks, while out-pitching one of the best pitchers in baseball in [...]

What’s Wrong with Ichiro?

By ⋅ July 22, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

Back in spring training, a buddy of mine asked me whether I thought Ichiro Suzuki would have another 200-hit season. I paused before responding, but only because I couldn’t think of the best way to explain what I expected out of Ichiro this year. My response was: “Does a bear crap in the woods?” (Note: [...]

Lackey, Scutaro Carry Red Sox Over Mariners

By ⋅ August 24, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

All the talk at Fenway Park on Monday night was about the possible return of Johnny Damon and all the rain that continued to fall in the Boston area. Despite the distractions, the Red Sox and Mariners did indeed start their three-game series at Fenway on Monday, with the inconsistent John Lackey squaring off against [...]

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 [...]

It’s the time of year again when somehow ESPN believes John Kruk, Steve Phillips, and many other wannabe experts can tell you who should be on the MLB All-Star team. The other night I was trying to catch highlights of an Albert Pujols home run and Baseball Tonight was trying to push the meme of [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 12 (6-22 – 6-28)

By ⋅ June 30, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

I hate closers. I really, really do. I hate them in large format leagues (like the SoB 12×12 league) because they are basically worthless with 12 pitching categories and because if they have a bad outing it really screws you over. For example, this past week in my mideason league, I had Jose Valverde of [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 8 (5-25 – 5-31)

By ⋅ June 2, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

OK, so the Matt Wieters experiment isn’t looking good so far (.182 avg, 0 RBI), but hey, these things just need time baby. In one of my leagues, I was offered a trade. It was Angels’ 1B Kendry Morales for Colorado 3B Garrett Atkins. Maybe this guy got a hold of my piece on Atkins [...]
