Morning Notes: Quentin, Schmidt, Cubs After no notes yesterday, I’m back this morning with a crapshoot some gems:  After missing almost two months, Carlos Quentin was activated by the White Sox. He will be needed if the ChiSox want to keep up their AL Central lead and have a chance in the playoffs. Jason Schmidt...

Rockies Rally in 9th off Capps I feel for Paul Maholm. He tossed shutout baseball for seven innings and then watched the bullpen struggle. Maholm allowed just five hits and whiffed four. The Pirates offense struggled against Jorge De La Rosa. He allowed seven hits and one run in seven innings to go along with 10...

Cutch Bails Out Capps in Walk Off Win The evening was full of drama. I’m in Chicago and took in my first game ever at Wrigley. I was on hand to watch Carlos Zambrano and the Cubs get pounded by Washington (shout out to Dave and Ross who are rooming with each other temporarily). Elijah Dukes hit a...

Capps Torched in 9th as Phils Stage Comeback Mark this one down as devastating. Carrying a 7-3 lead heading into the 9th, Matt Capps was summoned from the bullpen to finish out the game. One out later, Paul Bako delivered a walk off single to end the game. Prior to that former Bucco Matt Stairs had hit a...

Morning Notes: Kinsler, Pirates, Matusz The Texas Rangers have placed Ian Kinsler on the DL. He has been bothered by a strained hamstring, and hasn’t been playing all that great of late anyway.

Late Morning Notes: Pirates, Helton, Kensing The Pirates are working on keeping base runners at bay this season. Todd Helton is 7 hits away from 2,000 on his career, and is batting .343 on the year. Logan Kensing has a 15.43 ERA after joining the Nationals on April 29th. I praised his acquisition, but I’m...

Morning Notes: Tulowitzki, Pirates, Royals Troy Tulowitzki tweaked his back in the seventh inning of last nights game, and was forced to leave the game. He has had back problems before earlier in the year, so this isn’t good at all. The Pirates are promoting a boatload (pun intended) of prospects to play in...

Morning Notes: Yankees, Twins, Bush Back on track today? Probably. Baseball is back! Peter Abraham gives his list of players on the Yanks that he would be willing to give up for Roy Halladay.
