Surprise: Manny goes Hollywood ! Surprise! Manny to LA, Bay to Boston | MLB.com: News The NL Worst suddently got better... The Dodgers acquires Manny just in time for their NL West showdown with the 'Backs

Considering he hits better @ Fenway (.500) than in Coors (.371), his average should go UP :D

Agreed, one of the best ST eps ever ! I also remember an eps set in the future (well, relative to STV) about a Mausoleum for the victims of Voyager's WarCrimes commited against them... That's one of the few eps I actually remember, that speaks volumes about my appreciation for the show...

Gusty (or rather stupid I'd say) call by Oregon St. coach yesterday in the Sun Bowl: with his team just scoring a TD to come within one of Missouri with 0:22 left in the 4th, he chooses to go for a 2-points conversion try... RB Bernard barely made it, winning it for the Beavers...

In 2004-2006: 76 games pitched, 38 CG game for Matsuzaka. In 2005: 28 GP, 15CG and 3433 pitches thrown: that's 122+ pitches/GP... From http://www.japanbaseballdaily.com/Pi...ikoshiba.html: Under manager Osamu Higashio, there was concern that Higashio, who was an iron armed pitcher with the...

I agree with you. The "argument" was that throwing 150+ pitch in a game isn't that big a deal since many pitchers used to throw that many pitches... My point is that it's wasn't a "big" deal for a 40's, or a 60's pitchers but it is now because the game changed... It's not because Koufax threw...

These are actual figures ! Year Starts PA/Start Pitches/Start 1955 5 28 101 1956 10 22 83 1957 13 25 95 1958 26 23 89 1959 23 26 99 1960 26 27 105 1961 35 29 114 1962 26 28 110 1963 40 30 111 1964 28 31 112 See a (almost) complete game-by-game log of Koufax's games...

I don't buy the theory that current pitchers are "wimps"... Today's lineups are much more "tough" than the "good old days" lineups. And all games were played on the East Coast, no long travels for the players... And a reservoir of "only" 100M people to choose the best players from ((probably...

I don't really follow japanese leagues closely, but I think the managers have the bad habits of overusing pitchers (often having them throw 150+ pitches ). Considering that that guy once threw 250 (two hundred and fifty!!!) pitches in a (college) game doesn't look good in the long term IMHO

How is it possible to single in a double play at the plate ? This is how: Top 2ND B:2 S:2 O:0 Jeff Kent singles on a line drive to center fielder Carlos Beltran. Top 2ND B:2 S:2 O:0 J. D. Drew singles on a soft ground ball to pitcher John Maine. Jeff Kent to 2nd. Top 2ND B:2 S:1...

Poor refering indeed, in addation, 3-4 thrown flags were "taken back". And I do hope that the guy who intentionally twisted Breaston's ankle when he was down after a return will be suspended !

Well deserved, you've been one of my few "daily must-see" websites since 1998 ! Congrats and cheers to the next 10 years !

I had the privilege to talk to him for a few minutes during a B5 convention. He was very humble, kind and told many funny stories. A true gentleman... He transformed G'Kar into such a powerfull and ungorgiveable TV character... He will be missed ! :frowning:

Yeah, but they predicted that a least a team will be located in Florida by 2015 (though that wasn't that difficult a prediction I think)
