The sooner Bobby Valentine is out of baseball the better. Furthermore the single most important play for the Yankees in their pennant quest was CC successfully throwing at Markakis. Nobody can convince me that wasn’t the case. It broke my heart yesterday to hear Nick talk about his disappointment in not being able to play in the playoffs.
So now it’s off to Texas to face Yu Darvish and the collapsing Texas Rangers. Should the O’s win Friday night, I … Read More »
I will never sugarcoat it. It’s plain and simple–Mark Turgeon and Bino Ranson have done everything humanly possible to land the twins. Why? Because Turgeon knows that added to the existing players that will be at Maryland next year, the addition of Andrew and Aaron will elevate this team into the top reaches of the NCAA. That’s a fact. Not based on film but based on talent. Andrew is the number 1 prospect in the nation but mark my words, … Read More »
At some point late Thursday afternoon, live on national television, Aaron and Andrew Harrison will stare into a camera and tell the world — or at least the part of the world that cares enough to tune in — where they will play college basketball next season. They might say Kentucky. They might say Maryland. Nobody seems to know for … Read More »

Not since 1900 has a pitcher struck out 15 and still lost the game. Jamie Shields made one mistake last night and Chris Davis made him pay with a monstrous HR. The Red Sox blew a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the 9th when Raul Ibanez went deep. The result was then a foregone conclusion. Miquel Gonzalez was superb last night.
Here’s the scenario for Wednesday.
If the O’s win and the Yankees lose there will be a 1 … Read More »
After leading 2-1 at halftime, No. 5 Maryland was edged at No. 4 Princeton, 3-2, but a late surge by the Tigers offense gave them the lead. The Terrapins (8-3, 2-1 ACC) pushed the Tigers (9-1, 3-0 Ivy) in the final minutes, but could not convert.
“Maryland played a really strong game. We definitely missed some great scoring opportunities,” head coach Missy Meharg said. “Princeton, like Virginia, has some very dynamic players. Maryland found itself with players down a couple … Read More »
No Pedroia, No Ellsbury and the Genius Bobby Valentine allowed the Yankees to score 8 runs of Clay Buchholz. I guess its payback to the O’s for taking the Boston franchise down last year.
Alex Cobb was too tough last night and combine that with an uncharacteristic error from Manny and the O’s went down. But not without a fight. 5-3 2 on with Thome and Reynolds up—not bad. But it just didnt happen.
Meanwhile Oakland leads Texas 3-2 in … Read More »
How good is Jake Layman? He dominated in high school but he played against sub-par competition.
Dave Telep (2:08 PM)
To answer your question I bring up Pat Connaughton. This time last year everyone said the same thing about him. He dominated poor competition in Massachusetts. So what! Connaughton can play and so can Jake Layman. It’s not the size of the pond, it’s the fight in the fish. Layman was one of the EYBL’s steals leaders and I think … Read More »
