Giants' batting coach speaks players' languages, figuratively and literally
Giants batting coach Hensley "Bamm-Bamm" Meulens is more than bilingual. He speaks English, Japanese, Spanish, Dutch and Papiamento, the tongue of his native Curacao. Dutch and Japanese? Maybe if Giants re-sign Rikkert Faneyte and Tsuyoshi Shinjo, Meulens can...
In this technological age, replay a must
An informal survey of baseball-loving fans confirms that this postseason has yielded an unprecedented number of umpiring errors (it's not as if anyone keeps official stats on this). The volume of errors is bewildering. Why would this be the year of so many...

Lineups get attention, but pitching may decide it
The Phillies must have felt at home when they left their own shoe box of a ballpark to play the first game at the new Yankee Stadium on May 22. The teams combined for seven home runs - the Phillies hitting four of them in a 7-3 win. Despite all the talk about...
Powerhouse matchup
Story line: What constitutes a dynasty in 21st century baseball? Baseball has reached a modest level of parity since the Yankees won the last of three consecutive World Series in 2000. So maybe a repeat by the Phillies this year would mark a modest dynasty,...
