  • Orioles Actually Win One: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Which is great, except it was against my team. At least I got me another Adam Jones bobblehead. 24 June NPB Saitama Seibu Lions (2) at Rakuten Eagles (6). Ryohei Isaka tosses his first complete game win as the Eagles dominate Seibu for the win, improving their record to 32-35-1 in fifth. Getting close to […]

  • Fredi’s Gone: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Florida inexplicably went and replaced their manager, Fredi Gonzalez, yesterday and Edwin Rodriguez stepped in as interim manager. I still don’t understand why this happened, but I guess we’ll have a new manager next year. 23 June NPB Hanshin Tigers (9) at Hiroshima Carp (4). I was really hoping that Hiroshima would have a better […]

  • Marlins at Orioles: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    I just can’t miss seeing the Fish when they’re in town. I let nothing stand in my way, even the dental surgery I had last night. It was with a sore jaw that I saw them rock Baltimore last night. New York got its chance to beat up on the Orioles and the Indians to […]

  • I Saw A Game At Wrigley: The Weekend’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Lots of action this weekend, including a game I attended in the Friendly Confines that will not be mentioned because I don’t cover the Cubs or the Angels. 18 June NPB Yakult Swallows at Hiroshima Carp. Rain delayed. Rakuten Eagles at Chiba Lotte Marines. Rain delayed. MLB Chicago White Sox (2) at Washington Nationals (1). […]

  • Traveling: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Gonna see the Cubs this weekend! 17 June NPB Nope MLB Washington Nationals (3) at Detroit Tigers (8). Deja vu. Atilano loses again. Change of scenery tomorrow, but this sweep was ugly. 31-36 in last. Texas Rangers (6) at Florida Marlins (4). Ricky Nolasco just hasn’t been the same in so long. Guy gets two […]

  • Everyone Loses: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    The sad panda is sad like me because every team I follow lost last night. 16 June NPB Still chillin’ MLB Baltimore Orioles (3) at San Francisco Giants (6). Lincecum only strikes out ten, which is a statement I heard one of my softball teammates utter yesterday. Guess what, buddy. 10 is GOOD. 10 > […]

  • Frustration: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

    The Marlins drop a game they should have won in the 9th inning. It’s just disheartening. 15 June NPB Still finishing up interleague make-ups. MLB Washington Nationals (4) at Detroit Tigers (7). John Lannan just does not have a great outing. Can’t do much about that. Washington drops to 31-34 in last. Texas Rangers (3) […]

  • Attendance Drops a Bit: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Pittsburgh debuted some rookies last night too. The Nationals crowd of about 18,000 was not impressed. 10 June NPB Chunichi Dragons (7) at Rakuten Eagles (2). Wei-Yin Chen Tossed six scoreless with five strikeouts as the Dragons got revenge. Rakuten’s record slides to 29-31-1 in fifth. Hiroshima Carp (12) at Chiba Lotte Marines (7). Eric […]

  • Abe Is My Homeboy: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    For some reason Abe has become my favorite of the racing presidents. Maybe it’s his arrogant stride or maybe it’s the way he’s a sore loser when he doesn’t win, but I just love everything about the persona they’ve crafted for #16. 09 June NPB Chunichi Dragons (1) at Rakuten Eagles (4). Satoshi Nagai hurls […]

  • 14 Ks! [WMQ]

    After two shaving cream pies, Strasburg got the silver Elvis wig for his game performance too. I’ll have a more detailed analysis about Strasburg’s start, but 14 strikeouts is not bad at all. Seven of those came in a row from the 5th to 7th innings. An impressive young pitcher. 08 June NPB Neither of […]
