I watched a couple of innings of Livan Hernandez' start today, and DVR'ed the rest to watch later. I came away from it convinced of two things: one, that Hernandez has a huge lead in the fifth starter derby, and two, on a good day I can still bring my "fastball" a...

Today is a slow news day, as the players only had a one hour workout today in preparation of the first intrasquad game tomorrow. In the mean time, I thought it’d be fun to catch up with some former Mets, and see what they are up to since departing the Mets. SP Steve Trachsel...

As noted here and everywhere else yesterday, Lou Piniella has decided to give Carlos Zambrano the Opening Day assignment at Houston. It will be the fifth time Zambrano has had the honor; the Cubs have gone 2-2 in Z's previous Opening Day outings.

The Mets designated Claudio Vargas for assignment after last night disgraceful 11-0 loss to the lowly Seattle Mariners. Carlos Muniz was recalled to take his spot on the roster. I don't think this move had much to do with his disappointing performance in last night's game as...

And the guy who's going to replace Johan Santana in the 2008 Twins rotation is…Livan Hernandez? That's exciting…The Twins are one of those teams who are constantly in rebuilding/playoff mode, and it usually works for them. Unlike the Orioles, who are incapable...

Before yesterday, the Orioles starting rotation looked something like this: 1. Jeremy Guthrie 2. ??????????3. ?????????????4. ????????5. ??????????? So it's obvious that the Orioles needed to add some depth to their starting rotation, even if they have virtually no shot at competing...

There is a new rookie in the TCR bullpen and as a result, I've picked up my Dora the Explorer backpack and have assumed the position. Hmmm, perhaps that didn't come out right. All kidding aside, I wanted to take a minute to mention just a few things I do and do not bring...

With Chien-Ming Wang gone for at least two months and maybe the rest of the season with his injured foot, the amateur GMs are in overdrive. Everywhere you look there are...

While most of the talk has been about finding a power bat, and in my opinion, rightfully so, an argument can be made for the team obtaining another starter.Unless another team is financially strapped and just needs to get rid of players with big contracts, I believe the Mets only have...

If the Mets win in a forest and I don't hear the Giants fall, did it still happen?
Sure it did. But the Mets winning in a walkoff usually creates a great big resonant sound in my Sunday as long as I'm near a TV or a radio carrying the broadcast. And I was — I was inches...

For fans of most other franchises, a second place finish doesn't portend to much. But we're Cub fans, and even if there wasn't the Wild Card device, we'd be giddy with excitement. Compound that with only the third post-season appearance in nearly 55 years...
