Stay tuned for the result of this visit…

It’s time for another quick game of “Who closed the game?”  Our first contestant is the New York Mets.  Billy Wagner is on a rehab assignment, but for the time being they are still trying to piece together the 9th inning.  Well, tonight Aaron Heilman came into the game in the ninth and……..got the save!  Heilman walked a batter but didn’t allow…

 Ken Griffey Jr was traded to the White Sox for minor leaguer Danny Richar and middle reliever Nick Masset.  Masset hasn’t been anything worth talking about this season in relief for the Sox.  He is 1-0 with a 4.63 ERA and…

Boy, I hope all of you who drafted Justin Verlander were able to stay patient with him, but I bet better than 50% of you already have traded him off and got less than he is worth.  Let the kicking yourself in the ass begin now!  The Tigers ace was great again on Sunday as he was able to win his…
