Trailing 3-2 in the seventh inning last night, Endy stepped up to the plate with 1 out and the bases loaded. Chavez hit into an inning-ending double play, but the disappointment did not end there. About halfway down the first base line, Endy pulled up lame, grabbing his left hamstring...

Player Profile: Fernando Tatis

Fernando-300x277
For all the hoopla surrounding Josh Hamilton and his disappearance from baseball for three years, the Fernando Tatis story is pretty amazing as well. Tatis is best known, of course, for hitting two grand slams in one inning off of Chan Ho Park on April 23, 1999. With those two swings...

MLB Outsider - Does Firing the Manager Actually Ever Help?

World_series_gm7_2da1
Over on my personal Cubs blog, Cheap Plugs of the Apocalypse, I recently made the mistake of suggesting that the Cubs would be better off without Lou Piniella as manager. The result of this view was a firestorm of ANGER from Cub fans everywhere who love Lou. Let that be a note to...

Worth a Shot: Val Pascucci

It's amazing to me that this will be my second post about Pascucci. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why the Mets did not give him a shot this season. Even with Moises Alou and Ryan Church missing significant time during the season, the Mets never even bothered to give Pascucci...
