I grew up in Washington DC without baseball for the first 25+ years ofmy life so I am not overly enamored with the traditions of the sport tobegin with. I was watching ESPN this morning and Tim Kirkjian commentedthat he does not want to see instant replay in baseball beyonddetermining fair or foul in homerun calls. He cited the tradition ofhuman error as a part of the game.
Sorry baseball folks b...

John Smoltz threw two scoreless innings in his first rehab appearance yesterday. He threw 27 pitches and struck out three batters.

All signs point to him making one more rehab appearance tomorrow, and then he should be ac...

He tacked on his first two ML RBIs, two runs and stole a base as well.
Over on Diamond Hoggers, The Natural Mevs discusses his tr...

Troy Percival collapsed after throwing a pitch today while attempting to close out his 15th game of the season. There is nothing to lead me to believe that anyone not named Dan Wheeler will be closing out games in his absence. The only other choice is Al Reyes. Look at their game logs and stats, and you will agree that Wheeler is the way to go. This is the type of pickup that could reap g...

All of you Huntsville Stars fans out there need to get to the ballpark soon. Mat Gamel is not going to be there too long, and you do not want to miss out on seeing this kid. Not the way he is swinging the bat right now, at least.
Third basemen that hit .384 don’t grow on trees. Neither do ones that hit ten homer runs, knock in 43 runners, cross the plate 48 times, and steal three bases. All ...
