  1. Hi, I'm Sam LeCure & I will pitch against any ace.

    Sam LeCure was called up to the Reds for his Major League debut this season when Homer Bailey was placed on the 15 Day DL. He is a prospect, not a big one, the kind of guy who might make it as a 5th starter. Good to have in case of emergency, but not the guy who will pitch game 7 in the World Series. He does probably regularly post on FML as his luck just isn't great. Yes, he got called up, but he is taking bullet after bullet for the injured Bailey.

    After tonight's game against the ...
  2. Home Run Derby: Who Should Participate?

    MLB.com has a poll up asking fans to vote for who they'd like to see in the annual Home Run Derby, with results "in no way" determining which players actually take part in the event. It's a start, I guess, that they let us vote for this, seeing that we can't even vote for pitchers in the All-Star game.





    Now if you want to vote for the .176-hitting Carlos Pena, go right ahead. If you want to vote for the ...
  3. Mike Leake Appreciation

    Yes, it's seven starts and it's only May, but no matter what happens from here on out, this kid has been great and delivered beyond expectations.

    He had some trouble nailing down the MLB strikezone, but from his third start out he has only walked 8 batters. He's only allowed 36 hits in 46.2 innings pitched. He has 6 quality starts in 7 attempts. Leake's GB-FB ratio has been great (77-60.) And he has pitched 7 innings in his four of his starts, with the lowest thrown being 6 innings. ...
  4. 5 Old Guys Who Aren't Finished Just Yet

    1. Andruw Jones - Say what!? Fat Andruw Jones homered again last night, his 4th of the season already, and it was a monster off of David Price. Andruw is now hitting .323 on the season. He's been hitting in the middle of the White Sox lineup and if he can just stay around baseball for, say, 3 more years (not a given seeing what happened to Jermaine Dye, but I think Andruw is willing to settle for less money), a run at the 500-home run club isn't out of the question. Andruw has 392 career ...
