2007-08-11 06:09:03

2007-08-11 02:50:39
Johnny Damon and Derek Jeter reach bases leading off the third inning on balls that could have been outs. Both went for hits. The first was a pop up behind second that just ticked off Peralta's glove, but he didn't...

Nice Break
2007-08-11 02:28:57
I just saw Philip Hughes strike out Jhonny Peralta on a wicked breaking ball. The pitch looked like it was going to run in on Peralta, but at the last second it moved back over the plate. It looked like...

Games of the Day
2007-08-08 20:20:56
There's only one afternoon game this Wednesday, but it's a good one as Colorado hosts Milwaukee. Rookie Yovani Gallardo faces Colorado veteran Jeff Francis. In a good example of how the problem at Coors isn't always home runs, Francis allowed...

Thank the Pirates
2007-08-08 15:20:24
After the 1989 season, Barry Bonds and the Pirates went to arbitration. Bonds lost the case (and this is from memory) in part because the Pirates claimed Barry didn't drive in enough runs. Barry was a leadoff man at the...
