Halladay, Johnson square off in South Beach
The last time that Roy Halladay and Josh Johnson clashed at Sun Life Stadium in May, Johnson was nearly unbeatable. The problem was, Halladay was perfect. The two aces meet once again this evening when the Philadelphia Phillies and Florida Marlins get together for the second contest of a three-game series in Miami. While the [...]
The Yankees Still Don’t Know What’s Wrong With Phil Hughes
Phil Hughes learned yesterday that he does not have thoracic outlet syndrome, a rare neurovascular condition that likely might have required season-ending surgery. Indeed, Hughes visited with a specialist in St. Louis, and all tests for a circulation or vascular problem came back negative. So that’s good news, that he doesn’t have the neurovascular condition [...]
Carlos Zambrano’s Bad First Inning Dooms Cubs To 7-3 Loss To Dodgers
What is wrong with Cubs starting pitchers this year? I mentioned in the game preview that they have the fewest quality starts in MLB, and that number remained the same (five) after today’s 7-3 Cubs loss to the Dodgers. Granted, “quality start” isn’t necessarily a great benchmark, not when you can post a 4.50 ERA [...]
Dodgers give Cubs walking pneumonia in 12-2 victory
With two out in the eighth inning, Dodger second baseman Juan Uribe worked the count to 3-2, and Friday’s game reached the height of suspense. With one more ball, Uribe could become the ninth and final member of the Dodger starting lineup to draw a walk. Alas, Uribe swung and grounded to short. But hold [...]

Manny Ramirez has retired from Major League Baseball. MLB made the announcement on Friday afternoon. The league said it notified Ramirez of an “issue” with him regarding the MLB’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, and rather than undergo the process, Ramirez opted to retire. Ramirez, 38, got off to a slow start for Tampa [...]
Final Four teams faced crisis points during the regular season
The most diverse collection of Final Four coaches in recent memory includes a 68-year-old Hall of Famer who is older than two of the others combined; the recruiting aficionado with two previous Final Four berths stricken from record books because of NCAA violations; and two former Division III players leading mid-major programs on historic runs. [...]
Brett Gardner to lead off for Yankees, Derek Jeter will hit second
The New York Yankees will bat left fielder Brett Gardner at leadoff on opening day, the YES Network reports. The move will bump shortstop Derek Jeter from the leadoff role to the No. 2 hole. The possible switch has been a hot topic in Yankees’ camp all spring, with manager Joe Girardi hinting several times [...]
Matt Treanor sent to the Kansas City Royals
The Texas Rangers have apparently sent catcher Matt Treanor to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for cash. This is a weird move, for a couple of reasons. First of all, all indications this offseason have been that the Rangers acquired Mike Napoli to be a 1B/DH type, and that they weren’t planning on using [...]
