The Padres started out the season wonderfully, almost unbelieveably. I enjoyed it while it was there, I thought, why not? We might not play like that in a long time. Well, turns out I was right. The Padres' amazing start was just temporary. Now, we can't hit, we can't...

I haven't seen many wins as complete as the Bucs' domination of the Padres last night. Five hiters (Freddy Sanchez, Craig Monroe, Andy LaRoche, Eric Hinske, and Jason Jaramillo) had multiple hits while the Pirates scored in six of nine innings last night. Zach Duke went a strong...

Game 120! Essentially 3/4 of a season come and gone. The word "yikesarooney" does spring to mind. Tonight the A's get a crack at former teammate Chad Gaudin, with Brett Anderson getting the call for Oakland. Anderson is at 126.2 IP, as the A's start to talk more...

So the makeup game of a previous rained-out contest may also be rained out, even though it's been four months since the original game.
