  • The Marlins Need Some Work: The Weekend’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    The Fish were involved in a sweep again and it definitely wasn’t the good time. I know the Padres are really strong this year, but this is pathetic. Someone needs to fix this. Maybe Bobby V? 25 June NPB Hiroshima Carp (1) at Chunichi Dragons (3). An off day from Maeda denies him his first […]

  • 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 […]

  • Only One Game: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Try not to be too disappointed Min, but there was only one game. 21 June NPB None MLB Kansas City Royals (1) at Washington Nationals (2). Liván Hernández returned to form against a weak Royals squad to end the losing streak. Washington’s win doesn’t take them out of last, but it puts them at 32-39, […]

  • 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) […]

  • Strasburg Pitches Again: The Weekend’s Scores That Matter [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

    Strasburg pitched again and it wasn’t quite as magical, but part of that was due to a bad mound. He still has a sub 3.00 ERA (2.19) and struck out another eight. Rock on Strasburg. 11 June NPB Nada. MLB New York Mets (5) at Baltimore Orioles (1). Back-to-back series against the two New York […]

  • 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 […]
