Thursday, April 17th, 2008Look for Gavin Floyd to get pounded by Baltimore and Jeremy Guthrie to hold it down today, I like Baltimore over the White sox. I’m expecting plenty of offense in today’s showdown between the scrappy Royals, still a bit underrated and overlooked(the Peter Cetera of baseball if you will) and Anaheim, so run with the […]
Monday baseball
Monday, April 14th, 2008The matchup between the Halos and Rangers tonight looks very lucrative, with savvy right hander Ervin Santana on the mound opposing Jason Jennings of Texas. I look for early and often scoring from Angels bats, and an apt performance from Santana. The odds are roughly even at -109, so ride the Angels all the way […]
MLB single hitter
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008The Yank’s hapless offense is stuggling out of the gate, Giambi has officially hit rock bottom, Jeter is on the shelf, Damon, (on my list of “players to avoid” fantasy ‘08) isn’t getting it done at the leadoff spot(.200 BA, 2 runs scored), and Arod is coming off of an 0-4 4K performance yesterday. That said, I like […]
How bad are the S.F. Giants?
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008Things are going utterly horrible for the feeble Giants, and west bay area baseball fans can expect to see more dismally dissapointing play for the remainder of the MLB season. Brian Sabean attempted to restore dignity to San Francisco by building the team around pitching, speed, and defense…the concept is failing miserably. The pitching department has two very bright spots […]

MLB Opening Day 08′ - 3 Team Parlay
Monday, March 31st, 2008Los Angeles Dodgers(-195) - Brad Penny should handle the Barry-less line-up with ease and help his skipper win in his Dodger debut.
New York Metropolitans(-225) - Johan Santana will begin his National League dominance today and start his Cy Young campaign.
Seattle Mariners(-176)- Eric Bedard should impress his new teammates tonight with his nasty stuff.
Spring is here…Fantasy Baseball 2008
Monday, March 17th, 2008After a much-maligned off-season, MLB looks to dispel negative press with a fresh start in ‘08. Fantasy players are preparing for the high-maintenence daily grind of statistical tracking, trades, and free agent signings, which ensue following the foremost importance of draft day, as the season eminently arrives. My opinions on the real deal vs. the hype are as follows:
First off, […]
MLB Winter Meetings = Big Deals
Thursday, December 6th, 2007There are two teams that have already gave their rosters a boost during this off-seasons MLB winter meetings. On Tuesday the Detroit Tigers acquired Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis from the Florida Marlins for Andrew Miller and 5 other prospects. Cabrera will add another explosive bat to the already potent Tiger lineup and Willis should […]
MLB Rollins edges Holliday for NL MVP honors
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007The final individual award was handed out for the past MLB season, and it was a close race. Jimmy Rollins received 16 first place votes(353 points) compared to Matt Holliday’s 11 first place tallies(336 points). It was the closest race for NL MVP since Atlanta third baseman Terry Pendleton beat out Pittsburgh’s Barry Bonds by 15 points […]
MLB Pedroia and Braun are both named Rookie of the Year
Monday, November 12th, 2007Dustin Pedroia played a huge part in the Boston Red Sox championship season in only his first year, and today was named American League “Rookie of the Year”. The 24-year-old Pedroia — who was drafted by the Red Sox with the 65th overall pick in the 2004 First-Year Player Draft — led all Major League […]
