Early Baseball Season Like The Weather: Unpredictable

Batter Up April 29th, 2007
Watching the 2007 baseball season unfold can be compared to watching the weather across the country: inconsistent and unpredictable.
The A’s starting pitching has been phenomenal. The injury bug has pulled the team down just when it appeared the club would build on its best start in years.

A's Most Stable Team in the West

Batter Up April 22nd, 2007
Injuries to key players are an unpredictable part of the game. If a team is going to lose important players for any extended period of time it’s best that happens early in the season.
Right now the Angels are struggling. With Howie Kendrick, Juan Rivera, and Chone Figgins, out of the line up with various ailments, the Halos have become one of the most inept offensive teams in the league.

Hope Springs Eternal, Even For The Giants

Marty: Shortly after the season began I followed the trend of many
others, including yourself, in predicting where teams would find
themselves at baseball year’s end. I restricted myself. however, to
discussing solely the fortunes of the Giants rather than the entire
major league world since my interest in keeping in touch is mainly
with the San Francisco team. In rather foolhardy fashion, I
concluded that the Giants were a miserable collection of over age
position players, with the only ray of hope being the pitching
staff. I even called for a public apology from management for
fielding a team that was destined to finish at the bottom of the heap.

Pitching, Pitching, Pitching . . .

Rick Kaplan
Staff Writer
OAKLAND (April 20) – Could ARod knock in 200 runs in 2007?
He’s well on his way. After 3 homers and 8 ribbies in the Yankees’ recent three game sweep of the Indians (by scores of 10-3, 9-2, and 8-6), he’s already at 10 round trippers and 26 RBIs in only the first 14 games of the season. In the history of Major League Baseball, no hitter has ever collected more than 190 RBIs in a single season (The Cubs’ Hack Wilson reached that number in the offensive free-for-all of 1930.).
In spite of how dazzling Rodriguez’ hitting display has been thus far, why does a voice inside me keep saying, "So what?"

Hitting Will Come Around, But Better Watch The 'Pen

Batter Up April 15th, 2007

The toughest thing for any baseball fan during the first month of the baseball season is to keep one’s composure especially if your favorite team is off to a slow start.
There is nothing more disheartening in baseball then following a team that is mired in a batting slump.
Don’t worry! Baseball has been played for many years, the hitting numbers will be there by the end of the season. They always are.
Even under the best of conditions neither the Angels nor the A’s are offensive juggernauts.
