In the late stages, our Chiba Lotte Marines pulled away to seal a 14-6 road victory and the 2-game series sweep …

On the First Quarter of 2010
Every once in a while I try to fake being a Real Baseball Writer – I’ll whip out a stat or two, try to argue a point, basically do something other than waste a whole bunch of bandwidth with obsessive amounts of photos and snide comments. (OK – you are now thinking “Yeah right, when …
Moon Shots
Today I want to celebrate the big send-off for the first part of the season that our boys in black and white prepared for us!
