4/15 Linescore of the Day

2 IP, 5 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 5 BB, 1 K (Loss)

Eeyow! It’s hard to believe that this guy was actually a premiere pitcher at one time. Nomo allowed 1 ER in six innings in his first appearance this season so I thought he might turn things around but I fear this game may be more indicative of this year’s fare for Nomo.

For 2004, Nomo was 4-11 with an 8.25 ERA.

No. 16 straight for Johan

Santana wins his 16th straight for the Twins despite not having his best stuff. Speaking of the Twins, Terry Tiffee has been making quite a splash lately. He had another hit and 2 rbis. See what Twins Chatter has to say.

Bad Chad

Looks like the Cubs couldn’t hold on to a lead on Friday night against the Buccos. Bobby Hill’s two-run double against Chad Fox in the bottom of the 8th sealed the deal. When they showed Baker in the dugout after Hill’s double, it looked like he was uttering a few choice words.

Oh-EE-Oh Out 4-6 Weeks

Tigers outfielder Magglio Ordonez is scheduled to have a hernia operation and will miss 4-6 weeks. The normally durable Mags missed most of last season due to a knee injury last season. This doesn’t bode well for Detroit who I thought actually looked promising for 2005 compared to recent years. Dang, and I just picked … Continue reading “Oh-EE-Oh Out 4-6 Weeks”

This doesn’t bode well for Detroit who I thought actually looked promising for 2005 compared to recent years.

Dang, and I just picked him in my fantasy league, too.

Followup: Folks over at the TigerBlog obviously aren’t too pleased with this development. They hope Bobby Higginson will do what he can to fill the void.

Lugo in cleanup??

Am I the only who thinks it strange that Tampa Bay has been batting Julio Lugo in the cleanup spot? They did it at least twice this week. Lugo has some pop relative to his position but certainly with hitters like Phelps or Huff, there would certainly be a better option. Last night, they put … Continue reading “Lugo in cleanup??”

Last night, they put him in the #2 spot which makes a little more sense to me and he responded with a double and 2 walks.

4/14 Linescore of the Day

Vinny Castilla, Washington Nationals 3 for 3, 1 2b, 1 3b, 1 HR, 4 rbi, 2 r He was one single shy of the cycle. “My Cousin” Vinny has been one of the more under-rated players in the MLB, imho.

Vinny Castilla, Washington Nationals

3 for 3, 1 2b, 1 3b, 1 HR, 4 rbi, 2 r

He was one single shy of the cycle. “My Cousin” Vinny has been one of the more under-rated players in the MLB, imho. That was his 305th career HR. He’s hit over 30 six times and drove in 100+ 5 times while usually playing a steady third base.

ARod… a 6-tool player

According to reports, Alex Rodriguez saved a kid from getting run over by a truck by grabbing him out of the way in Boston on Tuesday. Turns out the kid was a big fan of ARod. ARod is still getting booed at Fenway though.

Draft Time

These were the first 10 picks in a 10-team fantasy league (NL-AL,non-keeper) I’m in. 1. Pujols 2. Soriano 3. Tejada 4. A. Rodriguez 5. Beltran 6. Santana 7. Jeter 8. Guerrero 9. Ichiro 10. R. Johnson I picked ARod. In hindsight, I should have picked differently. I didn’t realize how deep the talent at thirdbase … Continue reading “Draft Time”

These were the first 10 picks in a 10-team fantasy league (NL-AL,non-keeper) I’m in.

1. Pujols
2. Soriano
3. Tejada
4. A. Rodriguez
5. Beltran
6. Santana
7. Jeter
8. Guerrero
9. Ichiro
10. R. Johnson

I picked ARod. In hindsight, I should have picked differently. I didn’t realize how deep the talent at thirdbase is.

After 250 players were drafted in our draft, my choice for best player not drafted is Austin Kearns. If he stays healthy, he could have a breakout year.

Of course, that’s a big if.
