    Bello to IL with lat tightness

    Well, Casas was quoted as saying he felt his issue a day or two prior and tried to play thru it, resulting in an actual injury that will keep him out for weeks. I'm okay with a couple weeks off for Bello, but, man, this is almost a joke.

    My Ideal Metric - TOTAL bases

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    It's only a sample size of 1, but I saw an early season game, Sox at Texas, which the Sox won 2-1. It should have been an exciting game (Papelbon's first save!) But the later innings dragged on for me. I'd rather have a 5-4 game or even a 9-7 game. As an aside, it's amazing I barely remember...

    You're probably thinking of the playoff rule. Teams submit a 26-man roster prior to each round of the postseason. A club may request permission from the Commissioner to replace a player who is injured during a series, but that player is then ineligible for the rest of that round and the...

    4.5 - Angels in the Outfield

    I know it's only a game thread, but the rest of us have no interest in a petty argument over parking at Anaheim Stadium (or whatever it's called).
