  • Nats Let a Wild One Get Away: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Luis Atilano has his worst start yet, giving up the game. 20 May NPB Off day. MLB Florida Marlins (2) at St. Louis Cardinals (4). Nate Robertson just wasn’t good enough to hold the Cards down while Wainwright had all the right stuff to keep the Fish from putting too many on the board. Florida […]

  • Glad That’s Over: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    After embarrassing the team, acting like a primadonna, insulting the manager, and making everyone involved look bad, Hanley Ramirez either apologized to his teammates or the team has decided not to make a fuss about it, because he was back in the lineup last night doing fairly well. Thank god that’s over. The Marlins are […]

  • Johnson Pitches A Gem: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Josh Johnson tosses a shutout and the Rays win, but the red teams I love (Eagles, Carp, to a certain extent, the Nats) lose. 18 May NPB Hiroshima Carp (2) at Orix Buffaloes (11). Somehow I don’t think Hiroshima is going to win the Interleague title. The Carp drop to 16-26-0 in fifth. Their only […]

  • You Win Some…: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    …you lose some. It happens. 17 May NPB Off Day MLB Kansas City Royals (4) at Baltimore Orioles (3). Baltimore’s third series against more fair teams starts off on the wrong foot. Their record falls to 12-27 in last. Arizona Diamondbacks (5) at Florida Marlins (1). Chris Volstad has a rough start and Edwin Jackson […]

  • I’m With Teddy: The Weekend Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    No, I didn’t go see the Nats this weekend, but I did finally upload this picture. 14 May NPB Rakuten Eagles (8) at Hiroshima Carp (7). Knowing how badly the Eagles have been so far this season makes this worse. I want the Carp to win! MLB Cleveland Indians (1) at Baltimore Orioles (8). My […]

  • ICHIRO!: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Went to the Orioles game last night to see King Felix and Ichiro play the Orioles. It was a great game (I’ll get into that later), but we were super amused by the fact that Ichiro’s name was listed on the All-Star ballot for the Home Run Derby. Ichiro? The Great Singles Hitter (TM)? At […]

  • Failure to Sweep: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    The Marlins can’t quite lock down the sweep against the Cubs, but a series win is still more than they’ve done in recent history. 12 May NPB Off Day MLB Washington Nationals (6) at New York Mets (4). Tyler Clippard wins yet another as the Nats pull ahead into sole possession of second (again) with […]

  • Winning Again: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    I listened to about half of the Marlins at Cubs game in Spanish to get some practice. It’s surprising how much I was able to understand easily despite not really knowing much about baseball in Spanish. My favorite part: the center fielder is translated as central gardener. 11 May NPB Off Day MLB Seattle Mariners […]

  • Who Doesn’t Love Stealing Home?: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Cody Ross decides to steal home right after I leave to take a shower, of course, but that’s neither here nor there. I saw the replay and it was sweet. 10 May NPB Off day MLB Washington Nationals (3) at New York Mets (2). I don’t know what to say about this Nats team. They’re […]

  • Exhausted: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    The beach was a success, but I’m dead tired after my travels last weekend. Did I forget to mention that there was also a PERFECT GAME?! Too bad it was against the wrong team… 7 May NPB Hiroshima Carp (6) at Hanshin Tigers (10). Not the ideal start to a short series, but not terrible […]
