Mike Mussina, Future Hall of Famer

nytimes.com     Aug 12, 2008          

Mike Mussina pitches for the Yankees tonight, and these days, that is always a cause for optimism. But Mussina, at least for now, is not even sure he wants to keep pitching. Mussina mentioned Tom Glavine, who decided to keep...

METS' POISON PEN THE PITTS AGAIN

nypost.com     Aug 12, 2008   76 related          

Jerry Manuel still calls it a bullpen, but the proper term might be bull excrement. The stench permeated the air above Shea Stadium late yesterday afternoon and had the Mets in a daze, after a four-run lead evaporated in the...

Save Situation Leaders

mvn.com     Aug 8, 2008          

Yesterday we took a cursory look at the splits of closers in saves vs. non-save situations. Using a sample of 696 player seasons and 220 unique closers from 1980-2007 it was discovered that, yes, it appears closers perform...

Remy Catapults The Propaganda

joyofsox.blogspot.com     Aug 2, 2008          

One of my biggest complaints about NESN's Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy is that they seem content to focus solely on the game that is being played in front of them that night. With the various cable packages and MLBTV, Red Sox...

Ziegel: I-Rod trade inspired by B-Cash

nydailynews.com     Aug 1, 2008          

It's awfully tough to find fault with the Yankees landing Pudge Rodriguez, visiting the Bronx on the way to Cooperstown, for Kyle (Who Knew He Liked It Here) Farnsworth. The trade is a major league win for the Yankees, until...

“Stand Pat” Gillick

mvn.com     Jul 31, 2008   3 related          

Five minutes left and counting, and the Phils appear to be standing pat as the trade deadline comes and goes. There were plenty of rumors and plenty of whispering going on throughout the MLB universe today. Oddly, with all the...

Behind the Numbers: K-Rod and the Saves Record

thebiglead.com     Jul 17, 2008   3 related          

Anaheim closer Francisco Rodriguez (aka, K-Rod) has a major league-leading 38 saves at the All-Star break. The record is 57 set by by Bobby Thigpen of the White Sox in 1990. With just 67 games remaining in the season, and K-Rod...

Harper: Mets are good bet to win NL East

nydailynews.com     Jul 17, 2008   12 related          

Can they survive Billy Wagner's penchant for blowing big ones in what looms now as a tight race with the Phillies for the NL East? I'm saying yes. There's just too much to like about these Mets right now to believe they won't...

Lupica: Manuel's guys not half-bad

nydailynews.com     Jul 11, 2008   68 related          

There is a season now at Shea where there wasn't one a month ago, a small stretch of baseball that has them looking better than they have since we thought they had put the Phillies away last September. It is why the new manager...

Recap: Tatis’ 2-Run Bomb in 12th Ends Marathon Game

mvn.com     Jul 7, 2008   114 related          

I think we can all agree that so far the 2008 season has not been the best in New York Mets history. But they sure have given us some memorable games. In another crazy finish, the Mets beat the Phillies 4-2 in 12 innings on...
