Very cool, but where is the love for the dogs that made it happen? Or some talking pig?You'll say Sham Ow! See what I did there, folks? That's comedy.MLJ digs into the details of Dontrelle Willis going on the DL with anxiety. He's got too much mitoclorion in his blood, or his ERA. Let's just call this for what it is: he's not good enough to pitch in the major leagues. But if this gives them any kind of out medically, look for the Giants to do the same thing with Barry Zito...Backing up what will be said in another post soon, but the Orioles' quitting ways extends to their radio coverage, too. Why, exactly, does this team have a single fan left?In case you were thinking that Michigan State Fan didn't have the Internets. This one had the good manners to link to us recently, so here's some love.http://fivetooltool.blogspot.com - The Sports Blog That Loves You Back!

• Detroit Tigers left-hander Dontrelle Willis was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday after an MRI confirmed that he has a hyperextended right knee.
The fact that he couldn't hit the side of a barn with a baseball (5 innings, 9 walks) had absolutely nothing to do with this trip to th...
History Repeating
JC Bradbury made a great point about the Marlins trading Dontrelle Willis to the Tigers: Willis wouldn’t have been a Marlin in the first place if not for another Florida “salary dump” deal in 2002. Prior to that season, the Cubs decided they needed some top notch pitching, trading ...
Giants | Zito's struggles continue
San Francisco Giants SP Barry Zito allowed seven runs on seven hits over 5-1/3 innings Saturday, March 15, against the Seattle Mariners, but still recorded the victory anyway, according to the Associated Press. He walked four and struck out none, and two of the hits he allowed were home runs, includi...

He has been named an All-Star nine times and sits perched ten home runs away from 500. One could easily argue he is one of the most intimidating hitters of his era. His swing is undoubtedly one of the game's most violent (if nothing else). Despite losing a metaphorical step, he still smacked 25 dingers and drove in 75 runs last year (he even swiped 22 bases). Prior to opening day...

Good Thing They Didn't Sign This Guy
The fall of Barry Zito is perhaps as perplexing a baseball scenario as I've come across. He was the epitome of an innings-eater in the mold of an Andy Pettitte in that he allowed far too many baserunners yet frequently beguiled his way out of trouble.Since his first full season in the majors, Zito wa...

It was impossible to ignore how much has changed for both clubs since last September, when Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis were still members of the Fish, and Johan Santana was pitching for the Minnesota Twins. Five months later, Florida's dynamic duo is gone, and the Marlins' $17 million payroll falls $2 million shy of the $19 million the Mets will pay Santana to be...

Considering the landscape of this free agent market, this year could be the biggest off-season of trades in quite some time.
Johan Santana, Miguel Cabrera, Dontrelle Willis, Scott Rolen, and Miguel Tejada are among those who could be seeing a change in scenery this winter.
In terms of Santana, Jayson...
MLB.com shows it has a sense of humor
It's the usual storyline, but for some reason, the headline struck me as funny tonight. (I'd like to point out that this likely the 100th anniversary of the first Cubs fan saying, "This is the year.")Tonight, as the third story on the MLB.com home page was the headline, "Once again, this could be the year."It seems like even MLB.com might be sick of its own hype. Just look at the...
