FYI… Nelson Cruz was a Met in 2000
In 1998 the New York Mets signed an 18 year-old, Nelson Cruz, out of the Dominican Republic. However, the Mets then traded Cruz in 2000 to the Oakland Athletics for Jorge Velandia.
Just another scenario to show off the great moves our franchise has made!

Nelson Cruz on His Way to ALCS MVP
Is any player enjoying more of a breakout in the MLB playoffs than Nelson Cruz? Delmon Young had an excellent ALDS for the Tigers, Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder have been destroying the ball for the Brewers, and Scott Feldman and Alexi Ogando have been studs in the Texas bullpen, but no player is having [...]

Cruz to First

Update: Joaquin Benoit gets ahead of Murphy 1-2. He swing and misses at the next pitch for the second out of the inning.
Update: Nelson Cruz gets caught stealing to end the inning. He started running before Benoit went...

Nelson Cruz Hits First Walk-Off Grand Slam in MLB Playoff History
When Nelson Cruz hit a walk-off grand slam to beat the Tigers in Game 2 of the ALCS Monday, a friend said to me “there can’t be too many of those in history.” He was right. Cruz’s walk-off grand salami was the first in MLB playoff history (or technically the second). The 31-year-old right fielder [...]

In A BS Move By MLB, Burnett Suspended 6 Games
A.J. Burnett has been suspended by MLB for throwing over the head of Nelson Cruz. This suspension is complete and utter BS. I thought the same thing about Josh Beckett's suspension for throwing over the head of Bobby Abreu. Now if Burnett were ejected from the game that's one thing. But suspending someone who was allowed to stay in the game and pitch is BS. MLB is setting...

Well, that's better
I turn it over to Comedy Central for my weekly South Park screening and the Rangers put up 10 runs. Nice to see the bats wake up after a few off games. Kinsler hits for the cycle and Nelson Cruz just missed his second Grand Slam, driving in 2 runs with a double in the 8th. Just about everyone got in on the action as the Rangers win 19-6. The Rangers have an off-day Thursday...

The Rangers called up Nelson Cruz, who was tearing up Triple-A this year. Can he keep it up at the Major League level?
