By Jay Horwitz Thrilled that Mike Breen will be throwing out the first pitch before our game with the Chicago Cubs Monday night. Sure, Mike is a Hall of Fame basketball announcer, and he did a great job of emceeing the Knicks parade this last week. For me, he always will be a dedicated and loyal Mets fan who is one of us, both in good times and bad times. When people talk about OG’s magical tip-in, Mike recalls the spectacular catches Ron Swoboda and Tommie Agee made to save the 1969 World Ser...

Here’s a bit of history: West Coast trips: Partial West Coast trips: Basically, the Braves haven’t had a winning West Coast Only road trip from the start of the 2018 run. Where they have fared a lot better are trips that involve a West Coast swing and other games, with just two such losing road […]
Once Kennard Davis Jr. committed to Missouri, it brought the Tigers to an interchange in their roster building. While MU projected the BYU transfer as a bigger-bodied ball handler, the program was still light on proven creators — even if coach Dennis Gates taps into Jason Crowe Jr.’s latent passing potential. Had the staff been inclined, it […]

Most utility players have some sort of deficiency in their game that prevents them from being considered an “everyday” option. But occasionally, those super subs go on a hot streak that makes you wonder if they could make the leap to becoming a vital piece in the daily lineup. Blaze Alexander is doing that right […]
A while back, as part of this question of the day series, I asked the question about the Phillies and conceding the NL East. Times were dire then with the team mired in that horrid slump that cost the manager his job and put the Phillies in a huge hole. The question was legitimate with […]
A week ago, my wife and I checked out our local independent league team, the Waterloo Bucks. They play in the Northwoods League, a summer wood-bat college league. Friday night was perfect for baseball, 80 degrees and sunny with a slight breeze from the south. One of Waterloo’s players is MJ Sweeney, son of Royal […]

6 runs in 3 games! That’s all the Red Sox pitching staff surrendered over the weekend, as the Sox bounced back from a grim homestand to take a late-night west coast series.
