Everyone Loses: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]
The sad panda is sad like me because every team I follow lost last night. 16 June NPB Still chillin’ MLB Baltimore Orioles (3) at San Francisco Giants (6). Lincecum only strikes out ten, which is a statement I heard one of my softball teammates utter yesterday. Guess what, buddy. 10 is GOOD. 10 > […]

Frustration: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]
The Marlins drop a game they should have won in the 9th inning. It’s just disheartening. 15 June NPB Still finishing up interleague make-ups. MLB Washington Nationals (4) at Detroit Tigers (7). John Lannan just does not have a great outing. Can’t do much about that. Washington drops to 31-34 in last. Texas Rangers (3) […]

Only One Game: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]
Only one game (that I care about (and barely)) on the docket yesterday. 14 June NPB Nothing MLB Baltimore Orioles (2) at San Francisco Giants (10). Much touted prospect Chris Tillman does not deliver salvation for the Orange Birds as they continue to plummet into the vast depths of baseball with their 30-game deficit from […]

Strasburg Pitches Again: The Weekend’s Scores That Matter [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]
Strasburg pitched again and it wasn’t quite as magical, but part of that was due to a bad mound. He still has a sub 3.00 ERA (2.19) and struck out another eight. Rock on Strasburg. 11 June NPB Nada. MLB New York Mets (5) at Baltimore Orioles (1). Back-to-back series against the two New York […]

Abe Is My Homeboy: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]
For some reason Abe has become my favorite of the racing presidents. Maybe it’s his arrogant stride or maybe it’s the way he’s a sore loser when he doesn’t win, but I just love everything about the persona they’ve crafted for #16. 09 June NPB Chunichi Dragons (1) at Rakuten Eagles (4). Satoshi Nagai hurls […]

14 Ks! [WMQ]
After two shaving cream pies, Strasburg got the silver Elvis wig for his game performance too. I’ll have a more detailed analysis about Strasburg’s start, but 14 strikeouts is not bad at all. Seven of those came in a row from the 5th to 7th innings. An impressive young pitcher. 08 June NPB Neither of […]

Boring Day: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]
Only the NPB had games (as far as teams I care about) yesterday, leaving me with little to do but think about how excited I am to see Strasburg pitch today and hear about Stanton’s performance in Philadelphia. Can’t wait until tonight. Until then… 7 June NPB Orix Buffaloes (21) at Hiroshima Carp (10). What […]

Swept By the Mets: The Weekend’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]
My friend Lee has somehow got his girlfriend into baseball, probably by pure force of will. This would be great, except she’s a Mets fan now and she loves to trash talk each time the Mets beat the Marlins. Thanks, Lee. 4 June NPB Softbank Hawks (4) at Hiroshima Carp (5). A huge fourth inning, […]

Griffey Retired: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]
Ken Griffey, Jr.’s retirement was overshadowed by the perfect game controversy of the same day. I just wanted to take a few moments to state that he had an amazing career that should be honored. It’s a shame to see him out of the game, but I’m so glad he played. 03 June NPB No […]
