What is an inside the park homerun

Today I got a quick blog about something that has been bothering me. After I got good news as well. What is an inside the park homerun. Come on I've seen four this year and all should have been big fat errors. I mean if a guy misses a routine grounder and it rolls to the wall for a "homer". That's a single and a three base error. Not a homer. Another guy over the weekend missed a ball in left a fly ball and the batter was given a homer after he scooted on around on the botched ball. It's a joke they need to call it right or don't call it at all. I feel from now on if a player goes all the way around the outfielder better have not missed a routine play and if he did give the batter the RBI but not the homer. I feel like this should go with out saying. Finally, the webcam is working again. That means a new video blog is coming your way on Wednesday. I hope you check it out on Youtube under Doscinco132. Thanks everyone for reading. I'm Out!

Hall of Fame Game gets big thumbs up!

Today for the second year in a row I went to the Hall of Fame Game at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown. It is truly a great event. It begins with a parade down the streets of Cooperstown where Hall of Famers and other corporate sponsors wave and pay homage to the beautiful community. After this four players are selected to play in a hitting challenge. This was won by Dmitri Young this year. Then the game. The game is a combination of former players, hall of famers and even two all-stars from a traveling Army team. The game brings all aspects of the game together. Merging generations of players and skills. One of the best moments today was when Jim Rice former Red Sock faced off against former Yankee Goose Gossage. Two former enemies playing together for fun truly remarkable. That's all on that. Tomorrow I will tell you why Rory is better than Tiger was in his career. Thanks for reading. I'm Out!

Wrap-up of the Rangers and Yankees

The Yankees have just finished up a three game series with the AL West Leaders the Texas Rangers. The Yankees swept the Rangers finishing up their home-stand at 6-4. Over the three games the Yankees out scored the Rangers 27-10. Tuesday the Yankees won 12-4 behind big nights from the whole Yankee lineup and CC Sabathia. One of the announcers said he didn't have his best stuff. But I feel he did he just thew more hitable pitches so they could get outs. Swisher added a home run and Nunez made his impact felt with the first RBI of the game on a single in the second. CC moved to 8-4. Game 2 featured Nova vs. Holland. Nova struggled early giving up 4 runs in the first 5 innings. He went 6.2 before Ayala got out of a 7th on a play at the plate when Grandy threw out Torrealba at home on good block by Cervelli. Nova is now 6-4 but Tex was big with a HR from each side of plate. That was his 11th time doing that tying Chilli Davis and Eddie Murray for the most times in ML history. Yanks went out to win 12-4 again. Today professional minor leaguer Brian Gordon made his first ML start and threw to the tune of 5.2 giving up 2 ER, 3BB, and 3K. He got a no decision. Yankee offense went quiet only scoring 2 runs in regulation. Cory Wade picked up the win throwing a perfect 11 and 12 then defensive upgrade Brett Gardner ended it in the 12th on a walk-off single scoring Granderson. The Yankees will play in Chicago this weekend against the Cubs. Before I go my boy Beau Hossler a 16 year old is +4 at the US Open where Rory McIlroy is in the lead. Thanks for reading. I'm Out!

Yankee Update

Today I will update all of you on many things going on in the Yankee team. Derek Jeter will be going to the DL after much contention with Cashman with a calf strain. This will be his first DL stint since 2003. Ramiro Pena will be called up to be a back-up infielder as Eduardo Nunez will be starting. When asked about the catching situation Cashman said that Martin is not going to the DL and then called out Posada on his motivation to serve as a back up catcher. He said he will call up Montero before he has Posada catch. Hughes made his second rehab start and could be back in the next few weeks maybe in the bullpen. Cashman also said he will pursue a bullpen guy or another big name in a trade before the deadline because he does not feel that the answer is in the minors. Those were the main things he spoke of he also said that either Hector Noesi or Phelps will make a start in Bartolo's spot on Thursday. Tonight the Yanks will give Ogando his first loss and CC will pick up number 8. I don't know I'm feeling a Grandy Man homer. Thanks for reading. I'm Out!

Lebron and Big Papi

Today I will discuss Lebron and Big Papi. First up LeBron good game last night you played well even though shots were not falling. 9 Rebounds and 7 assists is nothing to sneeze at. The media needs to layoff. He had a rough game but still played well to keep his team in the game look for him to come out big in game 5. Heat will win 5 and clinch the title at home. I just hate how the media is treating him. He was a great facilitator and leader. Head up James your still the best player in the series. Now to Big Papi. Last night Papi hit a two run homer and right when he hit it he looked and flipped his bat. Girardi was not impressed. I support Girardi in this one. Papi should feel mad cool for hit a homer off of a rookie and then showing him up like a true veteran. I feel this is bad for the game and a fine should be coming Papi's way. I hope first time Papi is up AJ goes up and in on him. Papi better be wearing 2 helmets tonight. Okay all for today. Thanks for reading. I'm Out!

Controversy in the American Pasttime

Over the past view weeks two main controversies have arisen in the game of baseball. The first involves my boy Bartolo Colon. Colon has revived his career after a surgery in Puerto Rico where he had stem cells injected into his rotator cuff and other shoulder ligaments to jump start his career. The surgery is being discussed whether he should be punished for it or not. I feel that as long no true steroids or enhancers were put into his body is he is all good. No suspension should come from this. I mean stem cells are not even banned and players such as Barry Bonds and A-Rod were never suspended and they actually took steroids. Nothing should be done but baseball should look into other procedures that are occurring in other countries. Before my second talk I just want to remind you of the fan question I will discuss on Thursday. Who is the best double play combo in MLB history? Leave answers as comments on the blog or the facebook site. Now onto the last topic. Should rules be put into place to protect catchers at the plate. I feel to protect catchers set up a collision zone or an arc like in the NBA. The rules would be simple if the player is on the arc or in the collision zone he is fair game for a railroad or a take out. If a catcher is hit outside the zone he will be automatically out. Repeat offenders will be subject to fines and suspensions. By implementing these rules the play can still be exciting but the catcher can also avoid blindsided hits. Tomorrow I will break down game 1 and grill Jim Tressel on his resignation.

Memorial Weekend the Best

What a weekend of sports this has been and will be. First up I have decided to can the MLB awards of the week. A new feature will be introduced later. First lets talk about yesterday baseball was the game to watch. 4 extra inning games and 5 walk-offs. These walk-offs ranged from the greatest closer giving it up in the 12th, to the a veteran in Atlanta collecting his 12th career walk-off, to a pinch hit suicide squeeze walk-off from the Brew Crew. Another bright note yesterday was seen in Minnesota where spot starter Anthony Swarzack threw 8 innings giving up 1 hit. Today the focus is shifted to Auto racing. The 100th Indy 500 ended with a rookie running into the wall on the last turn and Dan Wheldon stealing the win away from him. Heartbreaking loss for the 23 year old. Later NASCAR will be at Charlotte with the Coke 600. Carl Edwards looks to become the third driver to win both the All-Star race and the Coke 600 in the same year. Finally tomorrow we will see the NCAA crown a lacrosse champion as Virginia takes on Maryland in Baltimore tomorrow afternoon. This is a great weekend for sports fans. The new feature I will introduce is a fan post poll question. Each question will be given and then discussed three days after the post. Just post your thoughts on the page and I will discuss your answers. The first question is Who are the best double play combo in baseball history? Post your answers and I will discuss answers on Wednesday. Tomorrow I will discuss two topics being discussed in baseball. Stem cell injections and new rules to protect catchers. Thanks for reading.
