Pedro Martinez walks Alex Rodriguez on four pitches to start the second. He then battles Matsui for eight pitches, and on a 3-2 count, Godzilla blasts a ball down the line for a two-run homer. He homered off Pedo in game two as well, and really seems to be Martinez’s nemesis in the [...]

With their backs against the wall, needing a victory to keep their season alive, the reigning WFC failed to capitalize with men on base and as a result the New York Yankees are world champions. Pedro Martinez seemingly never had a chance against this potent Yankees line up, Hideki Matsui specifically. The Yanks got four off him early, tacked on a few more against the Phils pen, and...

We’ve all heard a million times about how Alex Rodriguez was no good during the playoffs. Intelligent people just assumed it was a sample size issue while the ignorant paraded around as if they knew something about A-Rod’s personality that others did not. Well, A-Rod has now won a World Series. In all honesty I had never checked out A-Rod’s postseason stats because...

Tonight Pedro Martinez takes the mound again for the Phllies. Dave C noted before the series that Martinez is still a solid pitcher, but very prone to giving up the long ball. That is just what we saw in Game 2, he got 8 Ks to just 2 BB over 6 innings, but [...]

NEW YORK — It only took six seasons with the Yankees and 16 years overall, but Alex Rodriguez(notes) can finally call himself a World Series champion. The controversial third baseman is no longer among the greatest players to never win a title — sorry Ernie Banks, Dan Marino and Patrick Ewing! — and the relief on A-Rod's face was visible in the champagne celebration that followed...

One wonders why the Yankees, who've watched as Alex Rodriguez has been hit three times, haven’t sent a message to locked-in slugger Chase Utley, who tied Reggie Jackson’s mark yesterday with five homers in the Fall Classic. Multiple sources are debunking the Cole Hamels and Brett Myers spat, so let’s move back to baseball. After sharing our respective disdain for Nick Swisher...

All is right, and by that I mean horribly wrong, in the world again. The Evil Empire has re-claimed its spot atop the baseball universe, casting its belittling eye upon the downtrodden MLB masses. I have no desire to talk about this event and will now go about trying to avoid all sports highlights, newspapers and online coverage of said occurrence to as great a deal as possible....

It was not quite Grady Little, but it was close. Phillies manager Charlie Manuel left Pedro Martinez in Game 6 last night to face Hideki Matsui in the third inning despite the fact that Matsui had already homered off Martinez. And despite the fac...
