Jon Lester of the Boston Red Sox did a little bit of everything last night to help his team defeat former Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants. The victory gave the Red Sox the series advantage, but it wasn’t easy. After only 3 days in San Francisco, the Sox lost [...]
Jamie Moyer continues to impress baseball fans around the country, just like he did as a rookie in 1986. Yeah, 1986. The crafty left-hander has been pitching in the Major Leagues for 25 years. He will be turning 48 at the end of this season, but he is still extremely effective as he proved in [...]
Justin Upton has struggled a bit this season early, and so have his Diamondbacks. Coming into last night the Arizona Diamondbacks were last place in the NL West and beginning a series with the Yankees that seemed sure to end badly for them. Upton had other plans, however, and Arizona was able to overcome the [...]
C.C. Sabathia had a pretty bad May. For most pitchers, a 1-2 record and a 5.15 ERA wouldn’t have been catastrophic for a month, but the expectations for the former Cy Young award winner are a bit higher. Things did not look to get any easier this month, with C.C. facing both Johan Santana and [...]
This is no record breaking largemouth bass, but what a catch anyway! This is a real fish that was caught off the Mexican coast in May of last year. Tracy Ehrenberg, general manager of Pisces Sportfishing, said the fake-looking fish resembles “a seal, crossed with a baby marlin, that swallowed a chicken … it has [...]
The LA Lakers were down 3-2 going into the game last night. Just one loss away from elimination and a disappointing end to the season. After splitting the first two games in L.A., the Celtics had won 2 of 3 in Boston and put the Lakers on their heels. With Kobe trying to do too [...]
The Blue Jays have played very well through the first half of the season, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t immune to some odd situations. Last night was one of those. While John Buck brought his big bat and created some thunder from above, the Jays also felt something odd going on beneath their feet. [...]
The Chicago Cubs played their crosstown rivals the Chicago White Sox this weekend. Although the White Sox took the first two games easily, the final game yesterday would turn out to be far more interesting than the first two. Ted Lilly took the mound for the Cubs and had an epic duel with the White [...]
It’s being called the most hyped Major League debut by many people in and around baseball. Just take a look for yourself, however. Stephen Strasburg’s minor league games have been televised and every stat of his has been analyzed on ESPN and other national media outlets. When it was announced that he would be making [...]
The Phillies and Padres were deadlocked in a 0-0 tie last night in the 7th inning. Cole Hamels, the Phillies ace, was looking as dominant as ever. He was carrying a no-hitter into the 7th and even though his team could not score a run, it seemed fairly certain they would win with Hamels looking [...]
The L.A. Lakers were heavy favorites to win the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics, but Boston had other plans in mind. While the Celtic Big Three looked more like the Old Three for most of the season, the addition of Rondo to that equation as well as a playoff surge has them playing inspired [...]
Scott Rolen was on the St. Louis Cardinals when they won the World Series in 2006. In fact, he was an integral part of that team. His hitting and fielding helped propel the Cards to the Championship. Unfortunately for Rolen, his injury woes caught up with him the next year and he was traded away. [...]
Ubaldo Jimenez has had an unbelievable season this year. He has looked liked a Cy Young pitcher in every single outing he’s had. In just 11 starts, the pitcher has now accumulated a 10-1 record. He is just the third pitcher to win 10 games in his first 11 starts with an ERA under 1.00 and the [...]
The Chicago Cubs have struggled a bit in the early-going this season, but no one ever complained about their starting pitching. With Ryan Dempster on the mound, the Cubs have reason to be confident about getting a win. Last night, he delivered again. Derrek Lee helped out as well. Ryan Dempster was dominant all night [...]
What was once a sure sweep has now become something of a series. The Boston Celtics won the first 3 games without too much trouble and people were already talking about how great a Boston-LA finals rematch would be. Hold the phone. Orlando will not go quietly, and they showed it last night. Dwight Howard [...]
