The Easts dominate the World Series
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Championship, Editorial, MLB, Playoffs,
Since the MLB Players’ Strike of 1994 and the realignment of divisions to include the new wild card format, there have been thirty teams to compete in the World Series. Thirty teams in baseball; thirty teams in the World Series. A perfect world would have welcomed each team to the Fall Classic once, but we all know that’s not the case. Baseball is not that fair. To say that there has been uneven representation of the divisions throughout the years would be a huge understatement, as the level of parity in baseball is about as high as CC Sabathia’s batting average.

Posted by Milo Taibi Categories: Athletes, Kudos, MLB,
Last night in a game against the Cincinnati Reds Barry Bonds hit lifetime home run number 751, making himself just four home runs away from the alltime record of 755 home runs. The home run came against pitcher Aaron Harang. With an 0-2 count Harang threw a fastball right down the pipe, which proved to be a mistake. However, Harang had no regrets about how he pitched Bonds in the at bat.
“You can’t be scared to go after guys like that, especially when there’s nobody on or it’s early in the game,” Harang said. “That’s what I tried to do with the third one, and he was right on it.”

Giants, Marlins Swap Relief Pitchers
Posted by Milo Taibi Categories: Athletes, Editorial, Front Office, MLB, Trades,
On Thursday night the San Francisco Giants traded their closer Armando Benitez to his former team the Florida Marlins for Randy Messenger. Benitez was heavily rumored to go to the Marlins during the off-season. His recent meltdown against the Mets on Wednesday night may have been the straw that broke Giants’ general manager Brian Sabean’s back. He balked twice in a save situation, and the Mets would go on to win the game in walk off home run fashion. He wore out his welcome in San Francisco early this year, being booed on a regular basis from Giants fans.

Rookie Fred Lewis Hits For Cycle
Posted by Milo Taibi Categories: Athletes, MLB, Scoreboard,
San Francisco Giants rookie Fred Lewis hit for the cycle on Sunday in a game against the Colorado Rockies. He hit a double in the first inning, in the fourth inning he hit a homerun, a triple in the fifth inning, and he hit a single in the seventh inning to cap off six runs other runs scored that inning. The timing was great for Lewis, who was not only just called up from Triple A four days earlier, but his performance would make for an ideal gift for his mother on mother’s day.
“This was my Mothers Day gift to mom, I called her to tell her I hadn’t gotten her anything - until now.”
