The Greatest Five Ace Pitchers In Baseball
March 16, 2010 by Hal Westbrook
Filed under Baseball
It has been more than two months since the World Series finished up and, of course, that means there is nothing going on with that sport right now since the next season will not start for a couple of months.
Having said that, I really do enjoy giving my personal opinions on different aspects of this great game as I have written several articles thus far. Here I will be discussing five pitchers who are currently playing baseball and whom I believe are among the best ones in the sport right now.
My five picks are as follows. If you feel differently than I do about them, then go ahead and let me know by writing down your thoughts.
Coming in at #5 on my list is Zack Greinke, who definitely came away with the greatest season last year as a pitcher. If he can do that again during the next season and the season after that, then he is going to move up on my list for sure. When all is said and done, Greinke is going to go far in this sport, especially seeing what a dangerous pitcher he continues to be.
In the #4 spot is Roy Halladay, known for always being a very reliable pitcher. In the future, Halladay will no doubt be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Christ Carpenter holds the #3 place on this list as he always manages to be extraordinary. When he returned from almost two seasons of being away from baseball, it was like he had never been gone. I do believe that Carpenter just might be better than he has ever been previously.
The #2 spot goes to Johan Santana. It doesn't matter that he has not received a Cy Young award since coming on board with the Mets; he consistently contributes to a very good season every year. This is why Santana is at the #2 spot.
The #1 spot on my list definitely goes to Tim Lincecum. He has dominated this sport for two years now and is without a doubt the pitcher who is best at getting strikeouts. WOW is the word that comes to mind when I think about Lincecum's ERA in the twos!

Was the George Sherrill Trade Right for the Orioles?
March 14, 2010 by Nicholas McMillan
Filed under Baseball
Upon first hearing the news about the Baltimore Orioles and the fact that they traded their closer for two minor league baseball players, I was very surprised to hear the news. It really seemed like they gave him away for nothing in return. I knew nothing of Bell and Johnson, and wasn't happy about it.
I've looked at the players they've received in consideration for Sherrill, and I must say I'm a little more pleased after analyzing the stats and the roles that each player (Bell and Johnson) will fill. They won't do anything for the team in 2009, and may not do much in 2010, but a few years down the line, these could be key players on the Orioles team.
Sure, the season's obviously done in Baltimore. There's no way in the world they can think about catching the Yankees or the Red Sox, let alone the Rays. Maybe Toronto, but that'd get the team nowhere anyway.
It makes sense to build some more toward the future. The team certainly has some pieces in place (i.e. Adam Jones and Nick Markakis) to build around.
The Orioles will most likely lose 36-year-old Melvin Mora to free agency after season's end. If they don't lose him, he's aging anyway and he'll soon need a replacement.
Josh Bell could easily fill his shoes, as his .296 batting average, 11 home runs and 52 RBI with Chattanooga are all solid 2009 numbers. Johnson's posted very respectable numbers at the starting pitcher position for the same team, with a 9-5 record and a respectable 3.61 ERA. Both players have bright futures and could be key contributors to the Orioles in the years to come.
Sure, they've lost a reliable closer in Sherrill, but now the Orioles have two more young players to look forward to that add to an already promising young core (Adam Jones, Nick Markakis, and more). Maybe this will turn out to be the right move here.
Let's go Orioles!
Nicholas McMillan is an eternal baseball fan, and is thrilled to see signs of improvement on the Baltimore baseball scene. He often contributes his input at this Baltimore Orioles forum, and posts at their general sports forum whenever he needs a break from baseball.
Play Sport? Then Here’s How to Find the Right Sunglasses
March 5, 2010 by
Filed under Baseball
Different from casual eyewear, sports sunglasses are practical items that incorporate special technical features. While style is just as important as safety design in regular sunglasses, sports sunglasses have a dominant, undeniable functional side. Although they are designed according to the latest trends such equipment items meet the needs of a user who spends most of the time outdoors. There has to be maximum visibility, full blockage of harmful radiation and protection against debris as the main expectations you can formulate in relation with sports sunglasses. Golf, cycling, extreme sports and even hiking use equipment that involves special sun blocking technologies for eyewear design.
There are even sports sunglasses that combine the casual street style with the extreme sports requirements. Polarized for a perfect anti-glare feature, such items will be comfortable and actually priceless when skiing, snowboarding or enjoying any other sport. Face hugging contours, high precision hinges and self-locking screws, these make the features that you'll only encounter with certain high quality sports sunglasses. For increased durability and resistance to impact, sports sunglasses usually have nylon frames and polycarbonate lenses. Glass is unacceptable from the start because of the breakage risks.
Besides the blockage of the ultraviolets, sports sunglasses could also prevent the contact will all sorts of debris or insects that get in the eyes at high speeds. With the right pair of sports sunglasses squinting against the sun will become a bad memory. Therefore, when and if you shop for sports sunglasses, it is probably a good idea to get some wraparounds because they protect the eyes on the sides as well thanks to the frame design.
Sports sunglasses are available in such a variety of models and designs that it is very difficult to make a choice sometimes. The best place to shop for these items is at an optician shop and not on the Internet. The problem with the online orders is that you cannot try the sports sunglasses before the purchase and there are fair chances that the items will not fit you. Even if you get the right size, the entire physiognomy could be responsible for the mismatch. Maybe they don't look good on you or maybe the design is not suitable for the face, eye and nose shape.

The Tremendous Career Of Albert Pujols
March 3, 2010 by Paul Queenman
Filed under Baseball
Is Albert Pujols the best hitter that we've ever known? That is a question that has been asked hundreds of times, and the debate doesn't look like it's going to go away any time soon.
So that we all know who I'm talking about, I'm not going to go to players from days gone by, only from the 1980 onwards.
Players from the past such as Mays and Williams were great in their day, but the game has changed so much since then comparisons can't really be made. Conditions and even equipment are completely different in the modern game.
As the game has evolved so much, we can't tell how well players from the past would have played today, and vice versa. We can consider Pujols to be the batsman of our times on his merits alone.
His standard of play now is awesome, and the prospect that Pujols could improve even more is mouth watering. Just shy of his 30th birthday, there are seasons ahead for Pujols to keep up his consistent form and establish himself as one of the modern day greats.
Albert Pujols has a career average that is capable of winning a league. His overall average is an amazing .334. His second season brought about the lowest average of .312 and his worst since has been .327.
The least amount of home runs that Pujols has hit during one season is 32. He has played 9 seasons in MLB and in 5 of those hit 40. This young man just keeps raising the bar and creating staggering statistics as he goes.
As every new season starts, we hold our breath to see if Pujols can maintain his stunning form, and he never lets us down. Is he the greatest hitter of our generation? That we can only answer when he finishes playing, but I wouldn't bet against him.

New York Mets Have Every Right To Expect A Fast Start
March 1, 2010 by Jake Kohler
Filed under Baseball
When the season started last year, every expert in the game had the New York Mets giving the Phillies everything that they could handle. Even though the Phillies were the champs, they were still not picked to beat out the Mets for the division. Then the season started, Philly got off to a hot start and never looked back.
It is very likely that everyone will have the Mets, Phillies and Atlanta very close in the National League East. This will be a hotly contested division and if the Mets are playing solid baseball, they have every reason to believe that the division will be theirs. The fans are going to be treated to some incredible baseball games this summer.
The Phillies stole a lot of headlines this summer with their blockbuster trade. While the Mets did not make moves like that, they did shore up some weaknesses to pad what is a very good team at the core. Santana is the star of the rotation and gives this team a huge chance to win when he is on the mound. He will go deep into every game and put them in a position to win if the offense can score just a few runs.
Fernando Nieve is going to get his shot this year and fans have every right to be excited about him. He has the talent to one day be an Ace and should rack up some serious wins in the bottom half of the rotation. If he is healthy and pitches to his potential, there should be at least 15 wins in the season for him.
David Wright continues to be the big draw for this team and you pretty much know what you are going to get from him every season. His home runs dipped last season for the first time ever, but he surely worked on getting the power back in his stroke during the off-season. He is the best pure hitter on the team and the offense will live and die with him.
The Mets have a great schedule to start the season. They are loaded up with many of the doormats of the league and if there are firing on all cylinders, they could come out of April with a nice little lead in the East. They play all but seven of their April games in their own house and that is something that they will have to take advantage of.
Philadelphia will be the first real test of the season for the Mets and that is not until the very last game of April. They need to use the home schedule to their benefit and build up a big lead to let Philly know that they are back and mean business in 2010.

Tampa Bay Rays Are Ready To Taste Champagne Again
March 1, 2010 by Jake Kohler
Filed under Baseball
Imagine being on a baseball team that has to know that every day they go out there they are in competition with two of the best teams in baseball: the Red Sox and the Yankees. While some teams will run and hide, the Rays take this challenge head on because they know that it makes them a better team. While they did finish 19 games back last season, it was more about the quality of the division than it was their play.
Tampa Bay is only two years removed from playing for the World Series title and they still have a large core of that group together on this team. Last year was an up and down season, but this team should not be counted out. If they were in any other division, they would be one of the favorites, but in the East, it takes perfect baseball to get the banner hung.
Whatever you do Rays fans, don't let the division placement get you down. This is a legitimate team that had some bad breaks last season and is hardly out of the race for the crown in 2010. The pitching rotation features a lot of talent that is headed by young superstar Jeff Niemann. There was surely no sophomore slump for this 13 game winner.
Something else to be very excited about is the fact that the ball will fall into the hands of Soriano in the ninth inning. He came up through the Seattle farm system when they were stacked with pitching talent and recently strutted his stuff with the Braves. His first season as a closer was a huge success and it is actually amazing that the Braves let him get away.
Soriano got his first taste as a closer last season and notched 27 out of 31 save opportunities. He has always had special stuff, but it was really apparent last season as he totally embraced the new role. Tampa Bay is very lucky to have been able to get him off of Atlanta and he will account for some extra wins this season.
The offense is looking sexy this season and Longoria is heading it up. From the very first moment that he took the field he was tagged as superstar. While some young players would shy away from the role, he has embraced it and become a true leader of this franchise. This is his third season of what will surely be a very long and esteemed career in Tampa Bay.
Tampa Bay fans are going to be treated to some incredible baseball in 2010. The division is stacked with talent and that means that most of the season the best teams in baseball will be coming to town. While it will be anything but an easy season, victories will be well earned and if they do get to the WS, they will be primed and will have already taken down the best teams in baseball.

It Is Time For The Chicago White Sox To Step Up
February 27, 2010 by Heather Maxwell
Filed under Baseball
The Chicago White Sox come into 2010 with a lot of hope and there is no reason for them not to make the playoffs. This is a solid team that is playing in the weakest division in the American League and it is time that they take advantage of that and get back into post season play. Their sub-.500 season of 2009 did now sit well with anyone and they are out to get some glory this season.
If anyone wants to know what the driving force of the big turnaround is going to be, look no further than the late season acquisition of Jake Peavy. Spending the early part of his career in San Diego Hell, he is now on a team with a legitimate shot at going all the way. While fans only saw him for three games last season, they get the full deal this year.
Peavy managed to win 92 wins over 8 seasons with a team that was usually very bad. He carried that team for years and will now have the benefit of a solid supporting cast. If he can post 19 wins with the Padres, what can be expected of him on this team? Judging by his 3-0 record in the American League, we can expect the world!
Many people do not realize that players will sometimes get a huge boost when they go to a new team. Peavy is in Chicago to win, make no mistake about that. If he is not a contender for the Cy Young in 2010, it would be a surprise to everyone. American League hitters lives just got a bit more difficult.
Now while Peavy is great, the number two starter is a guy by the name of Buehrle. You may remember him from that little ole' perfect game that he threw last season. This is an absolute nightmare for any team in the division that is going to see these two guys on a regular basis. How can you possibly match up with this combo?
The early part of the schedule is going to provide Chicago with a chance at a very fast start. While Minnesota won the division last year, they are hardly in the same class as Chicago when they are healthy. Add three more games against Cleveland a 6-0 start is very achievable. Even more important for ticket holders is that they will get to see Peavy twice in that early span of games.
2009 is over my friends and 2010 looks like it is going to bring a lot of joy in White Sox land. Two stud starters and a lineup that is going to score some runs. If I'm in Chicago, I am already in line to get tickets because this season promises to be one for the ages.

The Pressure And Fond Memories Of A Youth Baseball Tournament
When a young baseball or softball team finishes out the season, they usually will enter into a youth baseball tournament. For younger players, usually every team competes in the tournament, rather than only selecting the teams that did best during the regular season. During the tournament, many exciting things may happen.
Usually a tournament begins with every team of the same age group playing one another. The winners of those games then play each other, and the tournament continues until only two teams are left. These two teams then compete in the championship.
With baseball tournaments, youth boys and girls learn firsthand what it is like to have to perform under pressure. They likely feel many emotions surrounding the final game (or any games leading up to it), including excitement and fear. These emotions can help children to learn life skills, but the pressure may be traumatic for some children. This is especially so for children who are not the best players. The tournament can thus have the potential to either be a great or terrible experience for children.
Those who have competed and placed in these tournaments generally look back on the games with fond memories. They might still proudly display their trophy, and may talk about different aspects of the game years later. The winning team is usually prouder, but the second place team may still be happy with the result, especially if they played an extremely tough team.
Of course, at a youth baseball tournament one can enjoy many of the exciting things enjoyed at regular baseball games. Hot dogs, nachos, candy, and soda can be enjoyed. The smell of freshly cut grass and dirt can bring old players nostalgia. And sound of the parents chatting or arguing is almost a constant.
Children can really feel that they are accomplishing something in a baseball tournament, which can give them self confidence. The championship games can help them learn how to deal with pressure, and if successful, how to perform under stress. However, some children may feel too much pressure, and may feel guilt if they do not perform perfectly.
To help your kid into youth baseball tournament games, you should get with the church or private schools. You can find the latest information online. To help your kid ready for a Baseball tournament for their schooling, you should look online for tips.
