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 pitcherâ€™s best friend, what is a fielderâ€™s choice? An acquaintance?

Itâ€™s better to have a fast runner on base than a slow one.

One thing about ground balls. They donâ€™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.

The End of Heroes

By Greg Knauss, August 1, 2011

Knauss: I just want someone my kids can admire.

Snell: Hint: PETE ROSE IS NOT THE GUY.

Knauss: Admittedly.

Snell: Sports are not the place for heroes, my man.

Knauss: So, politics then!

Snell: I think maybe you.

Knauss: I won’t be able to fool them forever. Who were your heroes growing up? I’m trying to think of mine.

Snell: Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock. Not the actors, the actual guys. And they never let me down. Not until Star Trek V, I suppose.

Knauss: Right. Â Anybody non-fictional?

Snell: No.

Knauss: That makes me sad.

Snell: But remember, I grew up a Giants fan. So I had no heroes.
