The Baltimore Orioles do not have much, but they can now boast having two of the four tallest pitchers in the Majors.
Neither are exactly scary to batters as they may be to a person walking alone in a dark alley....
Mark Hendrickson and Kam Mickolio.
The other two tall pitchers are a little harder to hit...Chris Young and Jeff Niemann.
The Yankees have not had an 11-game losing streak since 1913.
Senator and National fans may have a little taste of throw up in their mouths after seeing that.
The Red Sox were just swept in a four game series by the Rays. The last time the Red Sox were swept in four games by a team in April was 1996.
Tim Wakefield was in his second year and in the rotation. So was an older guy, 33 years old, Jamie Moyer.
A little junk here, while talking of the Red Sox....
That outfield they put on the field yesterday was laughable. They looked like the slo-pitch players I see on a daily basis at the local park. Jeremy Hermida, Bill Hall, and JD Drew...stinker!
August 25, 1992 in the rookie Gulf Coast League in Florida. Derek Jeter played short, Jorge Posada caught, with Andy Pettitte on the mound and Mariano Rivera in the bullpen.
Wow, just wow. Although Pettitte was away for awhile, it's amazing those guys have been together, for the most part, since then.
By the way, Mariano Rivera has saved 65 games for Pettitte as a Yankee.
David Eckstein has three walk off home runs, more than 95% of current ballplayers.
Tight situation, we may want Eckstein, not Kos Fukudome. Fukudome has a career .136 batting average with two outs and runners in scoring position.
Three of the top four, or the top three home run hitters of all time, without an asterisk, never played high school baseball their junior or senior years.
Babe Ruth never went to High School.
Willie Mays played professionally for the Birmingham Black Barons and was precluded from playing high school sports.
Hank Aaron spent his junior and senior years at a private High School while playing semi-pro baseball with the Mobile Black Bears.
Keep me in mind when you lay that trivia on someone my age
Carl Crawford is 31-31 in his last 31 attempts stealing bases against the Red Sox.
The only two players to have hit in every game this year are Jorge Cantu and Jason Kendall.
If anybody had them on their win-place tickets before the season, I salute you.
The New York Mets won that marathon game against the Cardinals without an extra base hit.
I meant to use this one last week and am to lazy to look at the change in percentages....
Jeff Clement, Greg's favorite player, is hitting .103. If he keeps up his downward spiral he could be the first player in MLB history to be owned by a higher avg of NFBC owners than his own batting average. As of last week, he was owned in 63.9% of leagues.
Julio Borbon now has that inside track.
