(No Ratings Yet)Loading...I mentioned in this space recently that I thought Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire could be the first to get the axe in the 2006 MLB season, as his team is grossly underachieving. There were reports of lack of discipline in the clubhouse and on the field last year and it looks like things have […]

Two teams who are beginning to get healthy and make some noise are the Philadelphia Phillies and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Philadelphia […]

Yes I also think that Barry Bonds is being unfairly accused of using performance enhancing drugs? No Gardenhire is doing just fine these days as he and his troops prepare for a […]

(No Ratings Yet)Loading...Very few teams win 21 of 23 games and still find themselves on the ground floor but that is the case with the Minnesota Twins and the AL Central division. They have won 11 straight but the Tigers and White Sox refuse to let them into the party as we head to the All Star […]
(No Ratings Yet)Loading...Just when I leave Toronto, all the fun begins. In Cincinnati, where I sit in the rain, the Reds finally ended up in the black against the Mets. On Wednesday the Jays gave the boot to .300 perennial hitter Shea Hillenbrand after manager John Gibbons reamed him out in front of the entire team. Just […]
(1 votes, average: 1.00 out of 5)Loading...When you bet on baseball, the trick is to stay ahead of the curve. Since people are always going to bet on the Yankees and The Red Sox, it is difficult to get great value when you pick those teams. If you were fortunate enough to jump on the White Sox bandwagon early last year, […]

General Manager Omar Minaya went to the Valley of the Sun and snatched experienced starter Orlando Hernandez from the Diamondbacks. Listed at 36 years […]

(No Ratings Yet)Loading...The Toronto Blue Jays are making noise in the American League East and are doing so with a patchwork starting pitching staff and a less then stellar middle infield. Last night they took apart prize free agent Josh Beckett who has had his way with the rest of the American League, but is struggling mightily […]
(No Ratings Yet)Loading...All the planets seem to be aligned for the 2006 Detroit Tigers since they are holders of the best record in baseball as we head into the dog days of summer. While their hitting statistics place them in the middle of the pack their pitching is on a different level than most other teams. Their […]
(No Ratings Yet)Loading...The good news for the LA Angels is that they are only four game back in the loss column in the wacky AL West. The bad news is that 2005 CY Young award winner Bartolo Colon is returning and has looked brutal in 2006. In his third minor league rehabilitation start, Colon gave up six […]
