How to Make Javier Vasquez a Cy Young Winner

Play the hapless Mets 162 times.


Both pitchers benefited facing moribund batting orders and a strike zone that was five feet high and four feet wide. Any pitch that caught part of the plate was a "mistake".


LT and I saw Strassberg Wednesday and he totally overmatched a light hitting Red Wings team. Believe this - we actually saw a batter start his swing before the ball left the pitchers hand. Big time saver, though. When a guy is throwing fast balls consistently in the mid to upper 90's, backed up by an upper-80's curve and an 80 mph change up, and commands all three pitches - mail in your 3 strikes and get ready to play the next half inning.


Rumor has it that Yankee games will be broadcast on the Cartoon Network until they acquire a major league outfield.


Did you catch the matching outfits that Joe Buck and Tim "The Cougar" McCarver were sporting on their pre-game interview?McCarver really should date people his own age.


In the great Steinbrenner "Buy a Winner" tradition, A-Rod is covering the Astro's payroll for every game they beat Tampa. That's so cool. Steinbrenner can't buy a team that can beat Tampa but A-Rod can.


The Phillies have figured out how to draw a packed house with a mediocre Red Sox team in town - show the

Flyers - Canadiens games on their Jumbo-Tron.


Off to Vermont with motorcycles and golf clubs in the trailer.


Chad, drop me a text when Teixeira cracks .250
