Still nothing on the cause?
Players stand up to football referees as fans of honesty
I know my blog is about baseball, but I have to comment on the NFL this week. The Packers deserved the win last night, many people agree. What is interesting to me is the number of other athletes that follow and speak-up as fans as well. The MLB Players’ comment page shows responses from baseball fans […]
Entertainment options keep fans coming to the ballpark
I went to the Rockies v. Diamondbacks game Friday. Another tick on the loss board for the Rockies, a blowout nonetheless. And, as they proceeded with shooting fireworks after the game, I realized that this far into a losing season, Rockies fans just need some sort of entertainment to show up. The majority of the […]
The Greatest: my tribute to the Kenny Rogers baseball song
Country artist Kenny Rogers released “The Greatest” in 1999. Not knowing this song as a baseball fan is almost as bad as not knowing “Take me out to the ballgame,” because I was 8-years-old and I knew this song by-heart. It paints the picture of young kids playing and teaching themselves to bat. “And the […]
Which is the toughest league in baseball: American or National?
Alright, it’s the everlasting baseball question. Which teams are harder to play? American teams or National teams? I think a lot of people would argue for the American league, for obvious reasons: the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. Not disagreeing, both are talented teams with a lot of money (even though the […]
Remembering 9/11, MLB style
I love that my favorite sport is so “slow.” To some, it is boring and takes too long to hold attention. I like the fact that the game doesn’t have a time limit, so that days like today can be recognized properly. 24 teams solute the Americans that died in the tragic 2001 attacks. According to MLB.com, today all […]
Roger Clemens might just have to call it a day
Roger Clemens hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2007. He signed with a minor league, the Sugar Land Skeeters, last month, throwing to his catcher son Colby Clemens. Now there’s talk of Clemens going back to Houston to pitch at 50 years old. According to many sources, including ESPN and USA Today, this decision is unpredictable. He […]
Strasburg Decision: Should he stay or should he go?
Stephen Strasburg is an awesome pitcher for a team that in recent years made somewhat of a name. His manager, Davey Johnson and GM, Mike Rizzo, told him he had two more games to start for the season. Strasburg let Miami slip 9-0, allowing 7 of those runs. But Sunday, he beat the the […]
Alex Rodriguez is back for the Yankees
Alex Rodriguez returned to the Yankees lineup today and tied Babe Ruth for 40th place in all-time hit records, at 2,873, in the second inning. He and his fractured hand missed 36 games, before tonight, after being hit by an 88-mph fastball from Felix Hernandez. The Yankees lost to the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3. CNN hosted […]
