Thursday, November 5th, 2009

With one person knocking in six of a team’s seven runs, it is kind off hard to loose, and the Yankees rode the hot hand of Hideki Matsui to a World Series win. On the game, Matsui knocked in 6 runs while going 3 for 4 and also scored a run to take home World [...]

Situation: Runners on first and second base with no one out to start the game. Caifornia’s slugger Luke Ramirez up to bat. The first pitch of the at bat, BAM! A three run homer by the 6′ 2″ 200 pound 13 year old slugger to give West Chula Vista all the offense that they would [...]

John Smoltz=Awful

Friday, August 7th, 2009

Former Cy Young award winner John Smoltz signed with the Red Sox very early in the season. I do not think that the Sox planned on him starting too many games. Boston thought that they would only need Smoltz to make spot starts and to give starters a rest because they had a good rotation [...]
