I Can Haz an 11-Run Homer?
One reason why I'll never tire of my inanimate life partner (her name is baseball) is because every time I watch a game, I have the chance to see something I've never seen before.
Or, as was the case Wednesday night at Sox Park, I might see 18 somethings I've never seen before.
The Yankees were in town. My buddy Mike had sweet tickets on the 100 level. And I was...

Recap: Too little, too late.
Tonight just wasn't the Red Sox night. Alexei Ramirez and Phil Humber led the way for the White Sox to win their second straight in Fenway, 10-7.
Ramirez went 4-for-5 and Humber was throwing pretty well against the Red Sox, only giving up a home run to Jason Varitek through seven innings. He went out for the eighth and that's when it got interesting.Humber gave up hits to...

Why Your Team Shouldn't Invest In Relief Pitchers with Many Seasons of Excellent Work
Sounds counterintuitive, right?But it's not. The Yankees signed lefty reliever Pedro Feliciano in the off-season to improve their bullpen. Feliciano had pitched in 266 games over the past three seasons for the Mets, and that doesn't include spring training or the times he warmed up and then wasn't used. He was terrific (killed the Phillies), but now he's done for...

Is it just me or does any game featuring the Kansas City Royals seem to last 5 hours?

Closer Role Set, Bullpen Pieces Falling into Place
When it was made clear that Bobby Jenks would not be a member of the Chicago White Sox in 2011 fans wondered if Matt Thornton would be the pitcher to take over the ninth inning duties. We found out a few days ago that Thornton will start the season as the team’s new closer. Thornton gave the Sox a lot as one of the premiere set up men in baseball. Now, he is expected to produce...

Examining the White Sox 2011 Bullpen
It’s probably too early to determine exactly how the bullpen will shake out, but it’s always fun to give it a shot. And after the departures of Closer Bobby Jenks and set-up men J.J. Putz and Scott Linebrink, everyone out there probably has some questions. Based on some of Ozzie’s comments, it sounds as if the Sox will break camp with six relievers. I’ll do my best to...
