Hate the Yankees, not baseball.

So it begins. I’ll bold the following, just so you know that I’m not crazy. The Yankees have an inherent advantage. They committed hundreds of millions in one offseason to bring in C.C. Sabathia, Mark Teixeira, and A.J. Burnett, which is something that no other team can do. Signing those players is a big reason why the Yankees won a championship. The Yankees have an inherent advantage. So I’ll never argue that payroll doesn’t matter. But I was listening to KNBR, ...

The Dugout: Winning Games is Easy

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 09:00:00 -0500

by Jon BoisFiled under: Nationals, Rockies, The DugoutOn Tuesday night's game between the Nationals and Rockies, Alan Embree earned the win without even throwing a pitch. For one night, at least, he got to live the life of a fantasy baseball team owner.The real story here, of course, is that the win statistic suddenly seems a little trivial. Baseball experts across the board have always agreed that wins are the definitive pitching statistic. ERA? WHIP? Maybe those nerds at the acronym fac...

Willie Harris Needs One Moment; Alan Embree Doesn’t Even Need One Pitch

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 06:39:47 -0500

This is another devastating reminder that no groundball is routine. They should never be taken for granted. Each and every one carries a degree of danger with it, and you should always make sure you’ve taken every precaution to protect your future. That breathtaking error was Willie Harris’ first of the season. As Bob Carpenter said it, “What a terrible break for the Nads Nats… and for Willie Harris.” And before Rob Dibble tweets on the situation, Carpenter did say Nats. I listened to it several times and it was definitely Nats. Another tidbit from Tuesday’s fundamentally challenged, yet ultra-fascinating Rockies-Nationals tilt. First, check out this comical play in the 8th inning. Alan Embree picks off Austin Kearns Not very many pick-offs are newsworthy events, but this one was. The...

I'll admit I'm a very impatient fan, the waiting game drives me nuts but on big ticket items ( Santana/K-Rod) Omar's approach has been aces, the verdict is still out on the complimentary pieces. Every time I hear that Omar passed on Street for Heilman/Feliciano it makes my ears bleed. I think ...
