2018 League Division Series

As we inch towards the 2018 Fall Classic, we have already experienced historic events! Before we could even get to the Wild Card games, the National League gave us something to talk about … not one, but two teams tied for first place in the Central and West divisions causing a game 163 for all […]

Leading Men: Giants enjoy another title

The longest, most difficult time of the year for me is the stretch between the end of the baseball season, and the start of spring training. It just seems to drag on for far too long. Does it make a difference that the San Francisco Giants won the 2012 World Series? Absolutely!! I love having […]

Reflections on the 2012 Baltimore Orioles

The true impact of the 2012 Baltimore Orioles won’t be known for several years. What felt like the return of Major League Baseball to Charm City could turn out to be a remarkable run of good fortune. Whether the Orioles simply got lucky, as suggested by Bobby Valentine and Keith Law, or have evolved into […]

Somehow Giants make it to Series

Wow! Unbelievable! Incredible! You pick the adjective. Any one of those can describe the 2012 National League Championship Series between the San Francisco Giants and the St Louis Cardinals. The Giants were on the brink of elimination to the Cards, and they roared back  to overwhelm them. As a longtime Giants fan, I never thought […]

Giants ramp up rollercoaster for Round 2

I love baseball. Over the course of time, it becomes a rollercoaster ride of different emotions while rooting for your team. You go through the highs and the lows, and there is absolutely nothing that you can do about it. And, if you’ve supported your team for any significant length of time, then you realize […]

Giants well-armed for deep playoff run

The magic number for the San Francisco Giants is now 11. Eleven postseason wins will get them a World Series championship and a huge parade through downtown San Francisco to City Hall. This is what every team strives for, and every fan hopes to see in their lifetime, at least once. It is truly special. […]

Acquisitions Propel Rangers to ALCS…Again!

For the second straight season, the Rangers beat the Tampa Bay Rays to advance to the ALCS.  For the second straight season, their success was largely based on recent player acquisitions. In 2010, Rangers GM Jon Daniels made several key moves in both the offseason and prior to the trade deadline, including the additions of […]

Hamels Pitched A Remarkable Game, In Case Anyone Noticed

With Cole Hamels on the mound Tuesday night, I bet you couldn’t keep your eyes off the little blue batter’s box on TBS with a teeny pitch count above it. We watched Hamels’ pitch count climb higher and higher, while Garcia finished his innings quicker than a trip to the bathroom.   By the third […]

Remember Michael Stutes?

When did Michael Stutes all of a sudden become Adam Eaton?   Michael Stutes had one bad month in August and all of a sudden everyone is ready to toss him aside like yesterday’s sports page.   This weekend I heard two reporters (David Murphy and some other guy) agree that essentially Stutes is no […]

Analyzing Phillies in the Playoffs

It’s playoff time, and if the past is any indication the Phillies are ready. Since 2007 (we can forget getting swept in 2007, right?), the Phillies are 25-13 in the postseason, have reached the NLCS in three straight seasons, and have only lost two series in three years. We can learn much more about the […]

MLB Divisional Series Update

…and the Year of the Pitcher Continues… Day One! After six games played (4 in the AL and 2 in the NL) we have seen the second No-hitter in playoff history (the last one was 54 years ago by Don Larson) by the Phillies Ace Roy “Doc” Halladay over the Reds in game one. The […]

An Instant Classic: Roy Halladay Adds His Name To Baseball History

Doc Halladay was Nearly Perfect Major League Baseball’s “Year of the Pitcher” has a new defining moment following Roy Halladay’s no-hitter in the Philadelphia Phillies 4-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds in the opening game of the 2010 National League playoffs. In his first-ever post season appearance, Halladay enters some heady company as he joins […]

American and National League Divisional Series Prediction

OK, this is my first attempt at a webcast so it’s bound to be a little rough around the edges. I now see that it is much easier doing one of these with at least one more person like on the BBA Baseball Talk podcasts or online with the guys over at Pro Rumors TV. […]

AL and NL Divisional Series Predictions

As an aside, I had the privilege of reading a recent post by our Yankees writer Lisa Swan over at The Faster Times concerning Hot teams going into the playoffs and this is what she had to say after looking at the September/October records of the 72 playoff teams from 2000-2008… Of the ten teams […]

League Divisional Series Update

Over the weekend, we saw the Dodgers send the favored Cubs home packing after playing the minimum. This is the perfect time for them to get hot and they’re on fire right now! I thought that Red Sox fans had it tough with their 86 year drought, but I was wrong. I feel for Cub […]

Phillies, Dodgers and Red Sox All Take Game 1

Phillies vs. Brewers Behind the arm of Ace Cole Hammels andd the bat of 2B Chase Utley, with a little help from a Brewers error, the Phillies took game one. In game two, will CC Sabathia be too tired to pitch deep into this game after pitching on short rest 4 starts in a row? […]

Pete Previews the AL & NL Divisional Series

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Philadelphia Phillies I like both teams here, but I have to pick one. I’m not impressed with either team’s bullpen and I have to give the edge to the Brewers with their starting pitching, especially if Gallardo can pitch like he did last year. Catching, 1B, SS and 3B are just about […]
