Mariners - Angels preview 4-26-09
Posted on April 26, 2009 at 03:22 PM.
Jarrod Washburn said he doesn't know what he's doing. The simple answer is the Seattle Mariners starter is winning and so is his team. The Mariners look to continue their strong start, win their seventh straight road victory and record their first sweep of the Los Angeles Angels in three seasons on Sunday.
Washburn (3-0, 1.71 ERA) comes into the series finale searching for his first 4-0 start since 1998 - his rookie season, but even that took six outings to accomplish. After a 5-14 finish ... Read More
Pujols goes 441' and misc.
Posted on April 26, 2009 at 03:16 PM.
Albert Pujols put everything he could into the pitch from Cubs rookie reliever David Patton, and the result was hardly a surprise.
Pujols hit his second grand slam of the season and surpassed 1,000 career RBI, sending St. Louis to an 8-2 victory over Chicago on Saturday.
"I hit that ball really good, I'm not going to lie to you," Pujols said. "That's all I got. I hit that ball as good as you can hit a ball."
Pujols drove the first pitch from Patton in the seventh inning to ... Read More

Silva looking for 1st win....
Posted on April 25, 2009 at 07:25 PM.
Carlos Silva hasn't won an American League game since April 17, 2008.



To say things have not gone so well for him since last April, when he posted a 3-0 record during this first month of his first year with the team, would be a slight understatement. It's hard to imagine anyone in the Major ... Read More

Mariners - Angels preview...
Posted on April 25, 2009 at 06:36 PM.
On Thursday night, the Los Angeles Angels started their seventh pitcher of the young season - matching their 2008 total. With Anthony Ortega scheduled to make his major league debut, the Angels are expected to top that mark Saturday night.
The 23-year-old Venezuelan will try to get the Angels back on track as they continue their three-game home series with the Seattle Mariners, who are looking for their longest road win streak in three seasons.
Los Angeles has endured a tumultuous ... Read More
Yankees reload....
Posted on April 25, 2009 at 03:42 PM.
The Yankees shuffled their injury-riddled roster before Saturday's game with the Red Sox, summoning infielder Angel Berroa plus pitchers Mark Melancon and Dave Robertson from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. In corresponding moves, the Yankees placed right-hander Brian Bruney on the 15-day disabled list with a strained flexor mass in his right elbow and infielder Cody Ransom on the 60-day disabled list with a strained right quadriceps. New York also placed right-hander Chien-Ming Wang on the 15-day ... Read More

Jeff Clement and Mike Carp each doubled, homered and had four hits as the Tacoma Rainiers pounded Salt Lake 14-0 in a Pacific Coast League game Friday night.
Clement's 4-for-4 night lifted the catcher's average from .175 to .250. Bryan LaHair added a three-run homer for the Rainiers (9-7), who thumped 19 hits.
Left-hander Jason Vargas (1-1) struck out eight, walked one and allowed three hits in six innings to earn the victory.

I'm not sure what Garber was thinking, Yankee Stadium attendance is usually never a concern, they almost always have a full house and secondly, Im not sure many fans etc etc really care about Yankee attendance, unless he was just trying to get under Levines skin......anyway, it went like this ....Mention those empty seats at Yankee Stadium at your own risk.
Don Garber did.

Injuries take toll on Angels...
Posted on April 25, 2009 at 03:07 PM.
Injuries have made contending in the American League West a major challenge for the Los Angeles Angels.
"Right now, we just have to hang on," said injured Angels starter Kelvim Escobar. "We have to hang on until everybody's ready to come back."
Escobar was supposed to be ready to pitch by the end of April. But after some inflammation in his shoulder this spring, that was pushed back.
"They told me my arm was fatigued," he said.
Escobar missed all of 2008 with arm ... Read More

Top 10 MLB seats....
Posted on April 24, 2009 at 01:49 AM.
1. Fenway Park, The Green Monster Seats
When the new Red Sox owners announced in 2003 they would add 294 seats atop the most fabled wall in sports, New Englanders winced. First these out-of-towners had wrested away the franchise from a group of prospective local owners, Red Sox fans figured, and now they were going to desecrate the city's beloved ballpark.Fenway's charm was rooted in nostalgia, fans thought, and to remodel it was sacrilege. Boy, were the fans were the fans wrong.
