I just got back from a baseball game, Seattle vs. Boston and my poor Mariners lost, as usual. While I am much more upset about the fact that there were seemingly more Boston fans than Mariner fans present, this is not really the place to be venting such grievances. However, it is quite [...]

Well, meaningful baseball anyway. The Sox are on their day off today, traveling to the Left Coast so they might play some baseball in the middle of the night… So, some VERY random thoughts as we wade though another day without the Red Sox: There was some talk about this during the All Star Festivities, but I [...]

Hi guys, How are you?. I am fine and I just hope that everybody are fine. I just went through the internet and I am now going to blog about a topic which is related to the Baseball Gloves. It was very interesting to read through this website and to say the least I was just enchanted by it. This website is one of the best in the world when it comes to selling the baseball gloves and all the other t

Light Up Your Baseball Field!By: Kimberly QuangBaseball field lighting requires a number of things to be taken into consideration to ensure that the field is evenly lit for maximum visibility in both the infield and the outfield. Preconfigured baseball field lights often fail to do this because they offer inappropriate wattage to light smaller baseball fields, or because they are designed only for

The Orioles went into the heart of Red Sox Nation last night, and after a torrid week where they were swept by the Jays and mired in a five losing streak – finally, a win. Now, we have once again moved within a game of .500, with our record at 46-47.Baltimore beat Boston, 7-3 and they roughed up Clay Buchholz, who we all know no-hit the Orioles last season. This time, he looked nothing better th

In moments of candor, players will share their opinions on the guys across the diamond.  Listen to Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jack Wilson talk about Arizona Diamondbacks righthander Brandon Webb: "He throws that sinker, and it's totally unfair. It comes in looking like a hittable pitch, and then it drops right down and you miss it. You know it's going to drop, but you can'

The number 94 top high school baseball prospect of 2009 by Baseball America is Cole Frenzel of Dickinson, ND. I found this video on a blog thanks to Dickinson Sports Writer Dustin Monke.We all know ND is not much of a baseball state and to be regarded as a top 100 prospect in the nation is a big deal. Frenzel is a great all-around baseball player. I personally played against him in my 3 years of v

Where's the Cloverfield monster when you really need him?I know they've been up for a while, but I just took a close look at some of these All-Star Game statues and threw up in my mouth a little.In theory, I can appreciate the marketing strategy. Forty-two Statue of Liberty replicas put up throughout NYC, painted in the colors of a Major League team. It's a good way to publicize the All-Star gam

I couldn’t think of a better way to prepare my son for a lifetime of misery as a Seattle Mariners fan.Sunday’s afternoon game between the Everett AquaSox and the Yakima Bears of the short-season, single-A Northwest League was the perfect setting for his first professional baseball game.Minor league teams have really figured out how to make an enjoyable and relatively cheap outing for families.

My first ever glimpse of a professional baseball match in a very huge stadium. Thanks to Mr. Harada, Ms. Kakinuma and Ernest who tagged me along in this trip. Rain has not stopped us in witnessing this match. Afterall, the field is covered. Seibu Lions, the home team of Saitama Prefecture, won the game agains the Chiba Lotte Marines. I hope I can watch more games in the future, for free. :-D

K.C. Royals vs. Baltimore Orioles; July 3rd, 2008Last night was painful to watch, real painful as the Orioles blew a game that they should not have, 10-7. We have the free-swinging Rangers on the docket this 4th of July weekend, but first, last night started off so well and then became an unadulterated train wreck. Garrett Olson started off well, and the Orioles pounced the Royals for seven runs

After going through some old George Carlin videos, I happened to come across his bit about baseball and (American) football. Not to put down baseball or football, but one would have to admit the truth behind this comparison is spot on. I’m still chuckling.

Though my sweet wife cannot understand how you could watch such a boring sport, I enjoy watching and playing baseball. I'm also a fan of Baseball trivia. Recently, a few oddities have surfaced that I have found interesting:Scott Baker struck out four batters in one three-out inning. Overachiever.The Dodgers beat the Angels without getting a hit. Not exactly the no-hitter you always dreamed about t

Sports has never ceased to amaze me with some of the rules that they put in place. Let me give you a great example of such a rule that MLB instituted a few years ago. It goes something like this. If a team allows no hits for an amount of 8 innings, yet does not pitch a ninth inning, then they have not thrown a no hitter. Whoever decided to make that rule up must have been no-hit a few times in th

Brian Runge, an umpire for Major League Baseball, has been given a one-day suspension for bumping New York Mets manager Jerry Manuel during a game.The incident began when batter Carlos Beltran disputed two called strikes with the umpire. At that point, Manuel came out of the dugout and started arguing as well. That's when Runge bumped Manuel and then promptly threw him out of the game.Beltran beca

My blog co-author and I went through an exercise where we picked the pitchers from other teams we would most like to have for the Yanks. While (of course) we don't really agree, below is my list of the top 10 pitchers I would like to have.First, I discounted National League pitchers some. I figure that the difference in line-ups and the DH inflates AL pitcher's ERA and likewise deflates an NL pitc

The Fresno State University Bulldogs are the 2008 NCAA Division I baseball champions! And since I am a former Bulldog baseball player, I, along with many others are extremely pleased with this year's College World Series ending.

I have always been a big fan of George Carlin and was very saddened to hear about his untimely death last night. Here is one of my all time favorite bits of his were he compares Baseball and Football. Enjoy this classic!

Baseball is a weird came in that one bad night or one good night can change the direction you are going as a player but might not do a thing for the team you are on. In some cases, it can be productive for the team and in some cases, it can be majorly destructive for the team. As much as I would like to write about the demise in baseball, I think I will not jump on the Willie Train today. New York
