Pitching is such a vital part of the game, as far as winning is concerned.

On most teams the set up man has become more valuable, on others not so valuable.

Something to keep in mind — it’s raining lightly. The infield could be very wet on ground balls.

What is a drop and drive pitcher? He is a guy who drops and drives. Very simple.

So by guessing right you might have guessed wrong.

Giambi walks too much. He’s always clogging up the bases with all that walking.

As a new day begins in New York, the sun sets in Hawaii.

If football is a game of inches then baseball is a game of inch.

If that ball had more elevation, it would have been a home run.

If the double play is a pitcher’s best friend, what is a fielder’s choice? An acquaintance?

It’s better to have a fast runner on base than a slow one.

One thing about ground balls. They don’t go out of the ball park.

The reason we call that pitch up and in is because the arms are attached to the shoulder.

He wears his hat like a left hander!

Any ball that goes down is much heavier than any ball that stays on the same plane.

The blood on his sock looks exactly like Oklahoma!

You don’t want to use too many statistics. The ones that apply to a July or August game won’t be relevant on Saturday.

He Was Clearly Ready for Some Football

Last night’s season opener between the Packers and the Saints was good enough to make me thank the lawyers above for the blessed spectacle that is professional football.

And the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers may be my new favorite QB (since it clearly won’t be Alex Smith). First, he bashes Mark Sanchez for his ab-full spread in GQ

“Look at this,” NFL player, Aaron Rodgers told ESPN of Sanchez’s spread in an interview Wednesday. “That’s embarrassing. Page 94 of the GQ thing here. That’s terrible.”

…and then after last night’s game he joked about the workouts organized by players during the lockout…which the Packers decided to skip.

“That was a good start for us,” Rodgers joked. “But I’ve just got to ask myself, ‘What would have happened if we had had offseason workouts?’”
