Let the offseason begin

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:07:44 -0500

Now that the Yankees are world champions for the 27th time and all is right with the world (Sasrcasm alert!), we can get on with our lives -- and our offseason. If there is a bright side for the Yankee haters, it is that -- for the first time since 2000 -- there will be no postseason panic period in the Big Apple, which has generally been followed by an attempt to corner the free agent market. The bad news, of course, is that the free agent market isn't really worth cornering, but t...

Huff and Puff, and Crush Carrasco: Tigers 8, Indians 5

And a late-s...

BYB on 'The Benchwarmers'

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 11:00:29 -0500

Here's the audio from last night's appearance on "The Benchwarmers" (from Toledo's WSPD 1370-AM). The Tigers game ended just in time for my appearance, which set quite a mood. Mostly, we talked about how the next six weeks or so will look for the Tigers. Why do they play so badly on the road? How does that Aubrey Huff trade look so far? Who loses out in the roster shuffle?nbsp; And does anyone want to win the AL Central? You can download the...

Game 2009.118: Mariners at Tigers

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 17:26:59 -0500

PREGAME: Aubrey Huff makes his Tigers debut tonight and he’ll be batting 5th in the lineup. I don’t know if Daniel Fields will make an appearance tonight or not, but he’s in town. As for the pitching match-up it will be a rehabilitated Rick Porcello. Rehabilitated in the sense that he has done time for his [...]

TIGERS ACQUIRE AUBREY HUFF....

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 06:00:00 -0500

When Aubrey Huff straps on a Tigers uniform he will automatically take over the team lead in RBIs.Although Huff's average is nothing spectacular (.253), he can do the one thing that Tigers hitters haven't been able to do all season.Hit with runners on.I applaud the move by Dombrowski. No reason to sit back in this crap division and let one slip away at the end.How do you feel?

So long, Huff Daddy

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 21:32:22 -0500

The player who proclaimed Baltimore a horseshit city got his due Monday … a deal to Detroit. Aubrey Huff, who got drunk on an offseason radio show, painted a porn star’s bare ass and called his team’s city “a horseshit town,” closed the book on his Baltimore years. “I’ve been in last place basically my whole career,” Huff said after the trade. “So this is an exciting time for me.” Until, of course, he actually arrives in Detroit. And anyway, in 2006, in a similar cost-cutting move, Tampa Bay sent Huff to Houston for the Astros’ failed playoff push. I ranted that he should be cut immediately after his radio fun. But he came back with a huge 2008 season and quieted the waters....

Huff Daddy (Aubrey Huff) Traded to Tigers

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:43:00 -0500

It looks like the rebuilding plan is really in full motion now -- this afternoon, Aubrey Huff got traded to the Tigers. Here's the latest from Roch's blog: The Orioles have traded first baseman Aubrey Huff to the Detroit Tigers for Single-A pitcher Brett Jacobson, a 6 foot 6 reliever who was 1-3 with a 3.74 ERA in 35 games at Single-A Lakeland. He was drafted in the fourth round last year. More to come. The Baltimore Sun has more on the deal and it looks like Luke Scott will be starti...

Hernandez Leads the Way, Huff Homers, O's Win Against Angels, 6-4

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 12:09:00 -0500

The Orioles snapped a two game skid as they won against the Angels, 6-4, out in Anaheim last night. Rookie David Hernandez showed himself to be major-league worthy as he kept the Los Angeles lineup -- one of the better in baseball -- at bay as he went 6 1/3 innings and allowed three runs on six hits. Hernandez was not perfect in any sense of the word, but his teammates gave up a him comfortable lead and he did his job by keeping runs off the board along with preserving the lead for Baltimore...

O's Take Series from Mets Thanks to Huff's Walkoff Single in 9th

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:28:00 -0500

That was one amazing game last night!The Orioles wrapped up a winning homestand as they defeated the New York Mets thanks to Aubrey Huff's game-winning RBI single in the 9th inning, 5-4. Baltimore trailed 4-3 in the ninth against New York, and their closer, Francisco "K-Rod" Rodriguez came into close the game. It seemed that the Mets would take the win as Rodriguez had been nothing short of dominant in the 2009 season until Thursday night. The deciding frame kicked off as rookie...

Some more links to pass along... Steve Melewski of MASN.com reports that Orioles president Andy MacPhail is "open" to talking with Aubrey Huff about a possible extension.

Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Cards GM John Mozeliak ...

A Female's View on Aubrey Huff and His Apperance On the "Bubba the Love Sponge" Show...

Thu, 15 Nov 2007 16:51:23 -0500

I was just talking to Maryland Orioles Fan - he shot me a quick email from the west coast, and asked how I felt about the entire Aubrey Huff situation, from a female's perspective. I originally said I needed to wrap my mind around it, but that's not completely true. I needed to figure out how to say what's going on in my mind, and turn it into a coherent post. As a female, baseball fan aside, I'm disgusted. Utterly disgusted. His remarks and actions were completely inapp...

Aubrey Huff and His Comments on Baltimore...

Sun, 11 Nov 2007 16:25:05 -0500

Take a read at Roch Kubatko's article in the Sun today about Aubrey Huff and his comments Friday on Baltimore and it's nightlife. Huff's appraisal came after the discussion turned to nightlife in the Tampa, Fla., area, and how much Huff indulged in it while he was single and playing for the Devil Rays. "If anybody's heard their show, or Howard Stern's show, it's a shock jock show, so everything's flying," Huff said yesterday. "You've got ...
