What do we remember about Pat Hentgen’s run as a right-handed pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays? Oh, maybe that 1996 season when he won 20 games and had 10 complete games on his way to a Cy Young Award. That was pretty much the end, though. He’d eventually make $37,000,000 over a 14-year career and then buy a house in Tarpon Springs, Fla. with one of the most worthless...

Kansas City Royals second baseman Johnny Giavotella underwent surgery Thursday to repair torn cartilage in his right hip.
According to the team, the timetable for Giavotella's recovery is estimated to be from 10 to 12 weeks, which would have him ready for the start of spring training.
Giavotella batted .247 with two home runs and 21 RBIs in 46 games this season.
The Royals fielded the youngest team in the majors in 2011, but the experience gained should lead to more victories in 2012, and team officials hope Kansas City will vault into playoff contention by 2013.

Early in tonight's game, they were showing some player's path to where he is now. They highlighted the state of each team he played for. Michigan for the Tigers, California for the A's, Texas for the Rangers....and for the Royals? Kansas! Come on, people! (Easy to confuse two cities with the same name? Yes.

OK, it was one thing for Fox broadcaster Tim McCarver, off the top of his head, to state during Game 1 of the World Series that S-T-R-I-K-E was a "five-letter word." Such a mistake easily can be filed under the "we all make them" heading, and McCarver has done worse. But this Colby Lewis graphic — noticed by @FakeNedYost on Twitter and blogged by The Big Lead...

This quote comes from John Farrell, former Red Sox pitching coach and now manager of the Blue Jays, as told by Curt Schilling:
“I’ve talked to enough people to know that it’s not lies,” Schilling said of Josh Beckett’s down-the-stretch behaviour. “I think that the loss of John Farrell had a massive amount to do with why this all happened. I spoke...
