Major League Baseball, Where To Next?

Friday, March 21st, 2008

After reading about all the “interesting” situations going on with this preseason and major league baseball teams traveling to Asia (Chan Ho Park incident, Red Sox incident), the Sportsblahg feels it is necessary to help Major League Baseball better pick locations for next season’s pre-season run around:

Since I am partial to the East, I figured we’d start with them both. You may be asking, “Why not be partial to the west, since you’re the west coast fan?”. Well truth is I’m a transplant, and though I enjoy watching the A’s, Giants, Dodgers and Angels. I can’t deny that my first two […]

With some 60-80 MLB players appearing on the Mitchell report due out shortly, I have devised a list of some of the players that are unlikely to make this list:
*Rich Garces - Former pitcher, Boston Red Sox: Sure he was big, but more in a fat way than a “juiced” way. In fact I have […]

Well, well, well. Look who’s come crawling back to the Bronx.
Word on the street is that A-Rod has put his agent, Scott Boras, on the bench and is talking with the Yankees directly about returning. Why? Because they are the only team that can offer him the kind of money he’s looking for.

Beatin’ off in Baltimore

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

I will never look at Aubrey Huff the same way again. From a recent appearance on Bubba The Love Sponge’s show:

Bobby Kielty (Red Sox) & Jesse Plemons (Friday Night Lights)

One blasts first pitch fastballs over the fence in pinch hit appearances. The other blasts fools who touch his quasi-girlfriend Tyra Collette (Adrianne Palicki). Granted they’re 12 years apart age wise and both born in different areas (Plemons in Texas, Kielty in California).
