No, Not Quite: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]
Despite their motto for the year, visible in the picture above, the Carp have not managed many wins this season. 7 April 2010 NPB Hiroshima Carp (1) at Yakult Swallows (7). The Carp fall to 2-8-0 in last. Go Carp! Rakuten Eagles (6) at Nippon Ham Fighters (3). The Eagles continue to hammer the Fighters. […]

Tickets On Your Phone?! [WMQ]
This morning I went and bought a ticket to watch the Nationals play the Red Sox in an exhibition and noticed a pretty neat feature: Mobile Phone Tickets. The gist is that you buy your ticket, get a text, and that text can be scanned for your entrance to the ballpark. Absolutely brilliant, but then […]

MLB 2010 Season Projections [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]
Another year, another season! 2010 looks to be another good one. The Marlins don’t look like they’re about to run away with their division, but the Rays have a fighting chance this year.

To be more specific, the Pacific League started its season last Saturday, but their second series won’t begin until the Central League starts on Friday. Are things looking good for […]

Strasburg Debut and The Next Generation [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]
Stephen Strasburg finally made his Major League debut in spring training yesterday and he was everything that the Nationals could have hoped he would be in two innings. After receiving 15 M$ before ever throwing a pitch, you’d certainly hope he was amazing, but will he make the starting rotation? His first two innings had […]

Amazing Run and Strasburg Signed [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]
It’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. Remember last week when I said the Marlins needed to start doing better for the rest of the season? Seems they took my urgings seriously. Counting Wednesday, the Marlins are 4-2 (good), with two of those wins coming from teams above them on the wild […]

About 40 Left. Hurry Up Fish! [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]
It’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. Baseball, sad as I am to say it, is nearing the end of its season. As pre-season stories begin to flood my RSS reader I can only lament the loss of the pure baseball period. That time of the year where the only professional sport […]
