Thursday was a day for sweeps as eight different teams broke out the brooms against their foes. The biggest of them all was probably Tampa Bay which continued its franchise-best season by finishing off the Cubs powered by Carl Crawford. There are also some nice fantasy options in obscure places   more...

I'm absolutely convinced that God hates the Dodgers.Smoothly sailing through the first 4 innings, Clayton Kershaw was having another quality start in what looked to be a classic pitcher's duel. Too bad the rain had other ideas. Tied at 0-0 when God started peeing, it took Chan Ho Park less than two   more...

The good? Dodgers break their streak of 23 innings without scoring a run. The bad? Penny and Proctor got shelled for 11 runs over 5 2/3 of an inning, losing to a guy named Eddie Bonine, which sounds more like a porn name than a real one. The ugly? The Los Angeles Times reports that Penny is now   more...

Cyril Morong of 'Beyond the Boxscore' created two 15 player lists, one of pitchers who improved from the 2005 to 2006, the other of players who declined. He used a statistic called RSAA which means "the amount of runs that a pitcher saved vs. what an average pitcher would have allowed. It is   more...

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been a disappointment all season. The off-season signings of manger Joe Torre and slugging outfielder Andruw Jones brought optimism to Chavez Ravine, but that has morphed into a 38-43 record at the halfway point. Torre has not been able to ignite a punchless offense,   more...

I can't say that I'm thrilled with this signing but the Mets need some bodies in the starting rotation. If they can get him for a steal (< $3mils for one year) AND Rick Peterson can fix him it might be a nice alternative to starting Pelfrey/Humber. He's a medical mess but pitched well in LA (sub   more...

I hope your home town team has its starting roster set, cause if they don't, whats left on the menu would make you consider starting Jose Canseco on the mound. After Clemens, talent drops off a cliff....Mark Redmen, Steve Trachsel, Chan Ho Park and Bruce Chen. Sure you can convince yourself that   more...

In a previous post on this blog, I challenged commenters to identify some of the worst free agent signings in baseball history. The purpose was to gain some context to a free agent market that has gone balls-out gorilla cookies. I cited the signing of Gil "The Mess" Meche as the poster child for   more...

Duaner Sanchez's July 31 taxicab accident continues to haunt the reliever - and the Mets. Sanchez, who felt a pop Thursday while throwing off a mound for the first time since the I-95 collision in Miami, has a hairline fracture of a small bone in the front of his surgically repaired right shoulder.   more...

Whatever else you want to say about Texas Rangers owner Tom Hicks, and we'll probably say it a couple of paragraphs from now, the man can blast his former players. When asked about some of his biggest mistakes as owner of the Rangers, Hicks said this:"Juan Gonzalez for $24 million after he came off   more...

The Yankees looked great in their first spring training game. The regulars scored 5 runs in the first two innings on the basis of home runs from Damon and Giambi. Of course, that was against Carlos Silva.Silva may just be the worst pitcher in the majors with a guaranteed starting job this year.   more...

If you read the boxscore on this one you're going to say Adam Eaton got pounded, but that definitely wasn't the case against the Yankees Tuesday night. Eaton's threw 3 2/3 innings, giving up 3 earned while walking 4 and strking out 3. Sounds like a terrible performance, right? What that doesn't   more...

No, you didn't just read the title incorrectly, Chan Ho Park has actually been doing that well.After stealing 66 million dollars over the last 6 years from the Rangers and Padres, Park has found himself back in Los Angeles and is pitching like it's the turn of the millennium again (sorta).

The Dodgers have re-signed Chan Ho Park and his karate kicking ways to shore up their bullpen. Let's revisit the magic!

As i've said before, Chan Ho Park has been doing very well for the Dodgers, and today was...uh...decent. His performance is still due for a decrease, but maybe he's this year's Jose Lima circa 2004...except without the herpes.
