21 year old Matt Murphy, the lucky fan who nabbed the lucky ball, is putting it up for auction.  He wishes he could keep it, but he is worried he will be taxed on it if he holds onto it.  Now I don’t know how you can get taxed on a baseball that you didn’t win as a […]

Kenny Lofton played in his first game with the Indians this season.  He did great.  The Indians won 10-4.  Lofton batted second in the order and played in left field.  He has always been a leadoff hitter and played in center field.  It looks like he will do fine in his new spot in the […]

A pitch hit the Philadelphia Phillies All Star second baseman, Chase Utley. He broke his hand and should be sitting for about one month. Abraham Nunez will most likely play second base for now. This is a major loss to the Phillies. He is hitting .336 with 41 doubles, 17 homers […]

With Cal Ripken Jr and Tony Gwynn shoe in’s […]

Now sometimes I wonder what these owners are thinking when they toss their money around. First it was Gary Matthews Jr and now Carlos Lee. Lee is a decent hitter but like most he goes into slumps and struggles against certain teams. Lee is not a very good outfielder. if the Astros play him out […]

I wish people would make up their mind about Barry Bonds trainer. It seems every other week he’s either in jail or out of jail. The story is starting to get old and I’m sure Greg Anderson is tired of being a yo-yo too. I think if Anderson knew all he was going through he […]
