Major League Baseball Notes 4/23/2012: Boston Red Sox Players Need To Grow Up And Face The Facts
“I know Youk plays as hard as anyone I’ve ever seen in my life and I have his back and his teammates have his back, We know how hard he plays. I don’t really understand what Bobby’s trying to do, but that’s not the way we go about our stuff around here. I’m sure he’ll figure that out soon.” -Dustin Pedroia
The Boston Red Sox are 4-10 and the team earned run average (ERA) is over seven. Since September their starters have been pedestrian and their bullpen can’t finish. Did I mention they are 11-30 during that stretch?
That how things are done in Boston now, Dustin? Continue reading “Major League Baseball Notes 4/23/2012: Boston Red Sox Players Need To Grow Up And Face The Facts”

Major League Baseball Notes 2012: Bobby Valentine Says Crazy Things, Don’t Be So Sensitive About It
First before I wax hypocritical let me clarify that title. Bobby Valentine isn’t professing his admiration for world dictators.
That’s off my chest, now I can say that more than once this season Bobby Valentine will be quoted as saying something stupid. His comments on Kevin Youkilis weren’t completely off-base. Continue reading “Major League Baseball Notes 2012: Bobby Valentine Says Crazy Things, Don’t Be So Sensitive About It”
Major League Baseball Power Rankings Week 2 (4/16/2012)
Last week’s power rankings saw some interesting names in places we didn’t expect.But have no fear baseball “experts” (myself included), as the season is kicking into high gear some of the ball clubs we thought would heat up (I see you Braves, Yankees and Diamondbacks) are moving along.
