MANNY'S 500th Home Run! Boston 6 Baltimore 3
2008-06-01 11:30:00
It was a festive night at Camden Yards (Fenway Park south) in Baltimore Saturday night as the Red Sox defeated the Baltimore Orioles for the second time in two nights. The score was 6-3, good guys. When Manny Ramirez came up in the seventh inning, the many Sox fans in the stands knew that with one swing of his bat, baseball history could be made. The loud crack of bat against ball was clearly audible to all the lucky ones in attendance, and the ball traveled 415 feet to the right centerfield stands, right into the hands of a Red Sox fan who was gracious enough to give the ball to its rightful owner in exchange for a few autographed baseballs and bats. Quite a remarkable show of generosity and respect, if you ask me. Even Manny's wife was in the stands, and she was beaming. That the Sox won the game was just like icing on the cake. Sweet icing indeed, the kind that melts in your mouth with a blast of super sweetness. Here's what the MAN himself said after the game..."It was great, ...

We’re about two months into the season, and it’s not a bad time to look which pitchers are allowing too many home runs. Fortunately, there’s a useful metric on FanGraphs to do just that. It’s called HR/FB and while I’m sure many of you are familiar with it, here’s a brief summary of ...

Umps botch home run call at Yankee Stadium again
2008-05-22 16:08:00
For the second time in three games at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, umpires missed a home run call that could have been made correctly with the use of instant replay. On Sunday, they negated a homer by the Mets' Carlos Delgado. This time, the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez was robbed the New York Times reported. Rodriguez, who had homered in the third inning of an eventual 8-0 victory, came up in the sixth against Baltimore's Lance Cormier. He drove a ball to right-center field, and it rose until caroming off a yellow staircase to the bleachers. The ball bounced back to the field and was ruled to be in play. Rodriguez, who had slid safely into second, protested. The umpires conferred but did not reverse the call. Asked if he had seen a replay, the crew chief Tim Welke said, "We just did and we made a mistake."Replays showed the ball striking the side of the staircase a few feet behind the fence and perhaps four feet above it. Welke explained that the umpires thought the ball had hit the ...

Obama / Wright NY Times Editorial Is a Home Run
2008-04-30 16:38:00
Today's NY Times Editorial on Senator Barack Obama's angry response to Rev. Jeremiah Wright's appearance at the National Press Club was a home run. I too was not happy with Rev. Wright's presentation, complete with the "dog" pose after he answered one question. While the media questions were also stupid and race-batting, Rev. Wright lowered himself to their level. But what hurt most was seeing Wright throw Senator Obama under the bus, when Obama took great pains to protect Pastor Wright even in Obama's landmark speech on race, a response to initial criticism about the former leader of Trinity United Methodist Church.

The Reds are home for seven games, beginning tonight with a 7:05 game with Milwaukee.Does he think he's going to do it at home?"What do you think?"

Berkman even added a steal to his 3-5, 3 RBI, 3 Run gem of a day. Other offensive stars of note, Hunter Pence went 2-5 with an RBI and a run. That RBI tied the game and led to the rally which powered the 'Stros to victory. Carlos Lee also hit a long bomb, for his 1st HR of the season. It was a solo shot. For the Padres, Scott Hairston hit out his 2nd of the year, and Adrian Gonzalez got on the HR board with his 1st. Closer Jose Valverde earned the win for Houston.WP: J. Valverde (1-0) LP: T. Hoffman (0-1)HR: HOU - L. Berkman (1), C. Lee (1), G. Blum (1), T. Wigginton (1), SD - A. Gonzalez (1), S. Hairston (2)
Help Your Employees Hit a Home Run!
2008-04-02 06:32:00
It’s opening day for the Major League and managers are looking over their spring training lineups to decide on which players will help them get to the World Series. Your goal as a small business owner is to build a successful business which can only happen if training occurs. Your employees will make up your lineup and with the proper training they can help your business hit a home run.Setting the standards upfront is a critical aspect of building a good team. A baseball manager usually sits down a player in his office and figures out the goals that player is aspiring to reach. The skipper also explains to the player his or her goals for the team and how they see that player helping the team reach that goal. This is no different for a business owner talking to a team of employees. From the very beginning you as a manger need to clarify the goals of the company and how that particular employee will help your company meet those goals. These goals will cure any ambiguity for your emp...

How Far Did That Home Run Travel? This Guy Knows!

Good morning!! This is from Monday's Boston Globe...."Greg Rybarczyk has a day job. But most of all, he digs the long ball, and he has devoted much of his spare time to tracking home runs, creating a tool, the Hit Tracker, that he says calculates the precise trajectory of every home run hit in the big leagues."I'm not sure why exactly I got into the home run thing, it's probably a combination of things," said Rybarczyk...."Peter here, and I'll link the entire article, which even includes a link to his "hit tracker" website, and it will be available when you click on the title of this post. But aren't we all curious to know, after watching one of our favorite Sox players crush a ball out of the park, just exactly how far that round leather stitched object traveled?
