NEW YORK (Reuters) –Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants claimed the National League Cy Young Award for the second successive year Thursday, winning in a close vote over Cardinals starters Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright. Lincecum, 15-7 with a 2.48 earned run average for the Giants, received fewer first-place votes than St Louis starter Wainwright in the balloting of members of the Baseball
For many teams, especially teams that are successful in the postseason, success is predicated on a solid bullpen. However, while stalwarts like Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman grab headlines and notoriety, as a whole, bullpen arms are significantly more volatile than the two legendary closers. Bullpen arms, especially middle relievers, tend to come out of nowhere. Relievers are often times a combination...

There is an active major-league pitcher with a career win-loss record of 59-68, and he is a mortal lock for the Hall of Fame. Now, if you're a real baseball fan, you immediately realized that I must be talking about a relief pitcher, and probably a closer. And you'd be right. Trevor Hoffman, the closer for the Milwaukee Brewers, has 591 saves to go with that seemingly unimpressive W-L record, more...
NEW YORK — Giants ace Tim Lincecum won the NL Cy Young Award on Thursday for the second consecutive season to become the first repeat winner since Randy Johnson, emerging from one of the tightest votes in the history of the honor. Lincecum led the NL with 261 strikeouts and tied for the league lead with four complete games and two shutouts. The wiry right-hander, nicknamed "The Freak"...
As we remember the men and women that served our country for so many years, we pay special thanks to the men (and sometimes women....Adam Eaton, David Bell, Ricky Jordan) that served our televisions and radios from 1971-2003. In paying thanks we will do a countdown of the five greatest moments of all time at the Vet: #5-June 11th, 1985 Phillies defeated the New York Mets 26-7. Most runs scored by the...

For over a decade, Yankees fans have been lucky enough to watch the seemingly-invincible Mariano Rivera close out games. The emotional difference between having Rivera in the game and even somebody as good as Joe Nathan, or Jon Papelbon, or Trevor Hoffman in the game is incredible. Rebecca at Purist Bleeds Pinstripes put this feeling into words as she watched Rivera hold on in game three of the divisional...

As you doubtless know by now, the Padres have fired GM Kevin Towers. It’s taken me so long to write about this because it is difficult for me to articulate my feelings. His departure hits me harder than those of Bruce Bochy, Trevor Hoffman, Sandy Alderson, or Jake Peavy. Towers was the primary architect of the [...]
The season ended for most of the teams in the league one week ago today, and since then two more clubs have been eliminated in the Division Series. By this time next week, just four teams will be left standing. Here's what happened over the last couple of days... Milwaukee kicked off the week with a few relatively unsurprising moves. First, they announced that manager Ken Macha will be returning in...
