Remembering June 11, 2005
It didn’t clinch a division. There was no champagne celebration in the clubhouse after the fact. Actually, the game seems all but forgotten in the annals of Mets lore. But June 11th, 2005 was the best regular season game I had ever been a part.
Sure, it wasn’t scoring 10 runs with two outs in the eighth inning against a hated rival. Or hitting a home run that made a country...

Mysterious happenings
In a duel with fellow trade deadline acquisition Ubaldo Jimenez, Doug Fister struck out 13 Cleveland Indians today. That’s just crazy.
Before this, Fister had never even reached double digits in strikeouts before. He only had more than 7 once in his whole career: that was 9 Orioles on May 30, which happens to be last time he was awarded a win as a Mariner. Let’s just...

Tigers trade rumors: Bedard joins the fray
The latest name to join the Detroit Tigers rumor mill as the trade deadline nears is that of Seattle’s left-hander Erik Bedard.

Tigers trade rumors: which starting pitcher fits best?
As quickly as the work week came to an end, so did the rumors involving the Detroit Tigers and their potential trade targets. The weekend has brought no relevant updates or whispers regarding which starting pitchers and/or relievers the Tigers might be trying to acquire.
Regardless, you can pretty much bet the farm that GM Dave Dombrowski has his laptop open and his phone pressed...

Mariners have to do a better job at this trade deadline than in 2009
Two years ago, the Mariners were in contention through mid-July, but, having not added needed offense via trade, ultimately fell out of the race. They got hammered three in a row at home by Cleveland and fell 7 1/2 games back.
They were that same 7 1/2 games back when, on July 29, Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik acquired shortstop Jack Wilson and pitcher Ian Snell from Pittsburgh...

The Boxscore: Memorial Day Edition
What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be grilling by the pool?
Yankees 7, Mariners 1
Sad day for Jason Vargas, as he gives up six earned over three, striking out all of one batter. Even with this outing I sorta feel like Vargas might be traded near the deadline in a Jarrod Washburn kind of way, where a team doesn’t understand what pitching in Seattle means. CC Sabathia...

Mariners at Minnesota Twins: May 24, 2011 game thread

So, a trade of "burn" guys. Ha, ha.

5 Myths About Spring Training
With pitchers and catchers practicing already, we can officially say that spring training has begun. I always love spring training.

Rumors: Yankees Would be Willing to Sign Washburn to Minor League Deal
Via Joel Sherman of the NY Post:
Since the Yankees have been shopping in the vintage aisle, I decided yesterday to check if they had any interest in Carlos Delgado or Jarrod Washburn. They have zero interest in Delgado. They did check into Washburn earlier in the offseason to see if he was returning after missing last year. Matters did not go far. But if Washburn were willing...

Carl Pavano is a decent pitcher at times, but the Brewers will not go past two years on a contract. As far as Zac Greinke goes, having...
