I would like to start out tonight by just having a short remembrance of the over 2,000 people who lost their lives needlessly on this fateful day seven years ago. While we have gotten no answers or retribution for the worst act in American history, what we can do is always remember this day. I really felt bad that this morning was the first time I didn’t watch…

Chris Carpenter will be back with the Cardinals for the rest of the season, but this time he will come back as a reliever. Not only that, but don’t think he will be doing any closing for the Cards, he will just be a middle reliever. So, those who own him have a decision to make. Will he help you enough with Ks, ERA, and WHIP to…

I can’t hide my allegiance anymore, Dustin Pedroia never ceases to amaze me. To quote the movie Rudy, he’s “5 foot nothing, 100 and nothing” and all he does is hit everything. Tonight he went 3-5, added his 43rd double, hit his 16th homerun, and knocked in 5 runs. Oh yeah, he did it all in the midst of…

Not only did the Reds find that they have some exciting young pitchers for the future in Edinson Volquez and Johnny Cueto, but they also found some good hitters to give them hope for the future, and a few of them have been hot lately. Joey Votto had seven hits over the weekend, and also drove in five runs as he has hit a little hot streak. The…

Uh, oh Red Sox Nation! After Josh Beckett has had his start pushed back a couple of times, the worst possible news came down on Thursday. The three words that no fantasy player ever wants to hear…….Doctor James Andrews! Beckett’s next start was postponed again, and he will be going to see Dr. Andrews to evaluate his elbow. Stay tuned for the result of this visit…

Whatever Brett Myers did while he was in the minor leagues, perhaps he should spend a couple of weeks down there every season. Myers improved to 4-1 since he returned with another stellar effort. He threw another seven shutout innings and struck out eight batters. Myers did allow nine hits, but none of them came around to score. Myers…

Aaron Harang was finally able to get back into the win column on Friday, as he threw six shutout innings and struck out four batters as he raised his nightmare season’s record to 4-13. The Harangatang, as one of my most loyal readers likes to call him, won his first game since June 13th, and even though he had a quality…

The New York Yankees have decided that they will give the ball to Carl Pavano Saturday when the Yankees face the Orioles. Pavano, in the running for the worst contract in history, hasn’t pitched in a game since April 9, 2007. He has been a disappointment of epic proportions for the Yankees, but it has been injury related. The guy…

Rich Harden continues to pitch his butt off for the Cubbies, as that trade seems to have paid off for Chicago. Tonight he was great again, as he threw seven shutout innings, and struck out 10 batters for the fourth time in just seven starts. I will always discount Harden’s talent because of his injury history, but now you can see what…

John Maine has now made two starts since he was activated off of the DL, and he hasn’t given up a run yet. Let’s not get crazy though, these starts have been far from dominating. He went just five innings in each start, allowing just one hit the first time, and two on Monday. His problem has been his control. In these 10…
