Even before the addition of Milton Bradley the Cubs were no doubt most people’s (myself included) favorite to win the division. The Brewers were strong last year but they still couldn’t hang with the Cubs AND they lost Ben Sheets, C.C. Sabathia, and Salomon Torres to make...

TROY PERCIVAL: Percival had the most interesting 2007 ever. He threw out the 1st pitch at the Angels home opener, signed with the St. Louis Cardinals, and started the Cardinals final regular season home game. How strange is that mix? Percival parlayed his strong 2007 into a closing ...

I was wrong about Trevor Hoffman coming here. I honestly thought geography would trump closing. (This also means I'm wrong about Salomon Torres being retired to avoid spring training.) But hey. I think I'm happy about this as a gamble. Maybe. He does come with relatively good...

Any talk about Damaso Marte potentially returning to the Pirates can officially end. [He signed a 3-year, $12 million dollar deal with the Yankees]. That would probably be about the most we could pay any FA this offseason, and Marte--though very good--is a one inning (or less) reliever who went ...

Nieses to Pieces. That's the funny nickname pitching coach Dan Warthen used when he listed the 21-year-old lefthander, Jon Niese, on Tuesday's schedule for his rotation. It turned out to be prophetic.

Same old story for Tom Gorzelanny--in the first inning, that is. He gave up a single, walk, and home run, and just like that, it was 3-0 after 3 batters. - After that, Gorzo was brilliant. Indianapolis-like. He made it all the way through seven innings and was virtually flawless in...

I saw none of the game, but here's what I can gather: -CC and Maholm both pitched pretty decent games. Neither factored into the decision--Paul gave up 2 runs in 6 and CC gave up one in 7. -The Bucs were down 1 in the 9th, and old buddy Salomon Torres blew a save. That had to be...

Yeah.....Tom Gorzelanny gave up all 6 in 4.2 innings. Not an ideal return. Adam LaRoche homered, but the Bucs left a lot of guys on base and should have done a lot more against Jeff Suppan. Torres notched a save. There isn't a whole lot more to say about this one. - Will we ever...

Sheets and Brewers continue to roll
Ben Sheets again showed why he is going to make a lot of money at the end of this season. Sheets was one out away from his third complete game of the season before his lone walk of the night got him lifted. Sheets went 8 2/3 innings and struck out five. He allowed seven hits and only...
