Phightin Phils Phorum - Myers Set for Surgery, Likely Out for Season
Brett Myers got his second opinion today. It was the same as the first. He needs surgery. Brett had said if there was no chance for further damage he would try to pitch but that is not the case either. With that in mind, Myers will have the hip surgery and may very well miss the rest of the season.Trade rumors and speculation to replace Myers is in full swing. Phightin' Phils...
Peavy's Agent Speaks About Philadelphia
The biggest name likely to switch teams in the next few months will be Padres ace Jake Peavy. Most people believe the Phillies clearly aren't in the running due to his giant salary. But it's still fun to think about, yes? His agent recently talked about Jake and Philadelphia.
Zolecki at MLB.com reports that Peavy's agent says he has not discussed the possibility...
Phightin Phils Phorum - Myers Pitched His Last Game as a Phillie?
Brett Myers is in the last year of his contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. While he has stated that he wishes to return, he may have pitched his last game in red pinstripes. Myers MRI and first opinion from a doctor showed fraying and perhaps tearing of his labrum. Myers said, "It sounds like surgery is almost 100% from the first opinion."
Surgery could very well...

That’s right, it’s been 15 years since the O’s last swept the Blue Jays.
And man, was it a sweep. If you missed yesterday’s series finale, you missed one of the most exciting games in recent O’s memory.
Facing arguably the best pitcher in the Majors, Roy Halladay, players and fans alike would have probably been happy [...]

May 27, 2009
If the Cubs are interested in acquiring ace Jake Peavy from the Padres, the clock could be ticking on the opportunity.
Peavy said he would waive his no-trade option to join either the Cubs or Dodgers, but San Diego seemingly doesn’t want to deal the ace to someone in their division, so that would leave [...]

The Braves and Giants have identical records after a poor series this week that ended last night with Randy Johnson getting his 299th win.
Next up are the Arizona Diamondbacks, who weren’t exactly easy to the Braves the week before.
After a stellar start against the Blue Jays Roy Halladay, Kenshin Kawakami returned to his [...]

Hey Roy Win Some F'n Games

May 29, 2009
Roy Oswalt is just one of many players on my fantasy roster who has been a colassal disappointment through the first 2 months of the season. In his case he's pitched to a poor 4.62 ERA and has only 1 victory, and to make a long story short drafting him cost me Zack Greinke (Idiot!). Deducing why he has won just 1 game is simple, he's got a weak ERA and its not like the...

Holy pitching!
Last week a Chicago Sun-Times writer was on ESPN proclaiming that the acquisition of Jake Peavy would give the Chicago White Sox, far and away, the best pitching staff in the AL Central--an opinion shared by this guy--not just because of Peavy’s talents but because of how poor the pitching is in the division. Peavy is a very good pitcher. I have no desire to argue otherwise. I...
Rumor Mill Starting to Churn
Posted by Lionel on May 27, 2009.It seemed like the sleepy baseball writers and reporters were caught off guard last week when the Jake Peavy to the White Sox deal popped up, so now they are all scrambling to start some rumors, even if they are absurd...Obviously, the first rumor out there is that the Cubs will try to go after Jake Peavy. The Daily Herald gave some thoughts on this...

Reimold's Walk-Off Homer Leads O's Over Jays in 11th; Baltimore Gets Three Game Sweep

May 28, 2009
What a day. Nolan Reimold, who is still pretty much wet behind the ears in terms of his major league tenure, came through again today as he hit a game-winning home run (a three run shot) off Brian Wolfe in the 11th inning as Baltimore won on Thursday, 12-10, sweeping the three game set from Toronto. In between meetings and work, I caught snippets of the game via MLB.com audio and...

Happy Returns:It appears we here at WSBGM's were right all along and JA Happ should have been in the starting rotation from the get-go. Thankfully the Phils brass realized the errors of their ways and rendered their mistake. Happ went 5.1 solid innings, and would have had a better line if not for Chad Durbin's inability to strand runners.Humble Hamels:Cole was unsatisfied with...

Ugh: Myers Could Require Hip Surgery
The Brett Myers news has gone from Bad to Worst Possible Ever. After starting the season slowly, Myers had regained his form recently and rounded into the solid #2 starter the Phillies need to follow Cole Hamels in the rotation. Then, true to Philly luck, Myers had to come out of his most recent start due to some pain in his hip. He says it's been bothering him all season, but...
