Youngsters Duel For Playoff Spot:

We'll discuss the drama that went down in the Metrodome last night later today, but get ready for the early start for this contest. First pitch is scheduled for 4:07 PM CT. I'll take the Twins, at home, thanks to some heroics from Joe Mauer. For more info on the Miguel Cabrera situation, go here. Here is the 911 call. [Twin Cities, Freep] (0)(13924)

What a game that was. 4 hours, 37 minutes. 13 pitchers. Four home runs (2-run HRs f0r Miguel and Orlando Cabrera and solo shots for Magglio Ordonez and Jason Kubel). And one game-winning single off the bat of Alexi Cassila, which game him a mere 17 on the season. I was surprised that Joe [...] Rick Porcello goes for Detroit and Scott Baker goes for the Twins in today’s one game playoff for the AL Central title. We’ll discuss the drama that went down in the Metrodome last night later today, but get ready for the early start for this contest. First pitch is scheduled for 4:07 PM CT. [...] This could be big news if Commisioner Selig decides to take any action against Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera. What happened? He’s not talking, but police records show the boys in blue were called to his house early Saturday morning. Cabrera came home at 6 am, apparently trashed, and his wife called the [...] The Baltimore Orioles have traded Aubrey Huff to the Detroit Tigers for right-handed reliever Brett Jacobson, a source that has chosen to remain anonymous told But The Game Is On. Huff is hitting just .253, but his 13 home runs and 72 RBIs will be a solid addition to the Tiger bench behind starters [...] We won’t debate who won the fight, because it was clearly Rick Porcello. Porcello got Youkilis to the ground while Kevin missed with his helmet and got manhandled by a skinny 20-year old. However, for those of you with either on your fantasy team, they will both be suspended for five games. That means [...] As The Big Lead has pointed out many times this season, the big market teams are destroying the standings right now. Of the top seven teams salary wise, only the New York Mets are not realistically in their division or wild card race. Here is how the rest of those teams stack up: 1. [...] It took two tries to get Jake Peavy to the South side of Chicago, but getting Peavy at the last second before the 2009 MLB Non-Waiver Trade Deadline proved vital for the White Sox as their AL Central opponents had already been making moves to better their squads. With literally seconds to go before [...] So, Brandon Inge did end up hitting zero jacks like I predicted; however, he was not the only one that failed to put on a show. Adrian Gonzalez only powered out two homers and Albert Pujols barely made it out of the first round. Nelson Cruz almost won it for me, but his performance [...] Even though Albert Pujols, whom I will have piece on tomorrow, is playing host I’ll take slugging outfielder Nelson Cruz of the Texas Rangers. Partially a homer pick but we think he’ll pull it out in the Finals against Pujols. A couple other predictions: Brandon Inge doesn’t deserve to be in the event, and [...] Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard, Prince Fielder, and Adrian Gonzalez. While all first baseman, those are the NL sluggers that will be participating in the 2009 State Farm Home Run Derby. It’s quite an impressive group, with Pujols having 32 jacks, Howard having 22, Fielder having 22 and Gonzalez having 24. However, it’s a different [...] |
