"Piggy" and the Fish Pond"Piggy" and the Fish Pond is a true story of our high school coach and a very interesting episode.
Coaches and their baseball teams in competition time and again thru the years build a close bonding camaraderie or sometimes a fierce adversarial relationship. 2006 Baltimore Orioles PredictionsDespite a red hot 26-14 start to the 2005 season, the Orioles once again couldn’t contend with the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox for the AL East crown as they went just 48-74 the rest of the way out and finished well behind the leaders of the pack. The Orioles gained many backers in the early going as they got off to a fast start. 2006 Boston Red Sox PredictionsAfter coming back from 3 games down against the Yankees in the ALCS 2 years ago, hopes were high for the Redsox to take the division last season but they came up short. The 2006 AL East is slated to go down to the wire once again. 2006 Chicago Cubs PredictionsThe Chicago Cubs are one of America’s most beloved teams despite the disappointment that they bring to their faithful followers year after year. The Cubs are hoping a key off season acquisition of Juan Pierre, to replace the inconsistent Corey Patterson in center field, will pay off. 2006 Cincinnati Reds PredictionsThe Cincinnati Reds showed glimpses of becoming a good team in 2005. They brought big bats to the plate but they suffered from lack of quality pitching all season. In other words, they were the perfect overs team. 2006 Houston Astros PredictionsThe Houston Astros made an incredible run to finish the 2005 regular season, stealing the Wild Card and defeating conference rival St. Louis in the playoffs on their way to the World Series. 2006 Milwaukee Brewers PredictionsThe Brewers have been terrible year after year, but 2005 saw this new-look team climb to a .500 record for the first time in over 12 years while playing well in a beautiful ball park. It was their first non-losing season since 1992, and the Club rewarded manager Ned Yost with a contract extension through 2008. 2006 Pittsburgh Pirates PredictionsIf only the Pirates still had Barry Bonds? They did pick up 2-time All-star and perennial .300 hitter Sean Casey from Cincinnati in exchange for a young question mark pitcher in Dave Williams. 2006 St. Louis Cardinals PredictionsThe Cardinals 2005 campaign was a disappointment due to the high expectations that were set by a World Series birth in 2004. The Cardinals had 5 less regular season wins, with 100, in 2005 than they did in 2004, largely because of winning just 9 of 19 down the stretch and just 16 of their remaining 30. 2006 Toronto Bluejays PredictionsWith all the talk about the Yankees and Red Sox once again duking it out in the American League East, the Toronto Blue Jays could be the sleeper of this division. They are led by arguably the best pitcher in baseball, ace Roy Halladay. Halladay was well on his way to the second Cy Young Award... 6 Types of Baseball or Softball Pitching Machines You Can ConsiderDo you know what are the 6 different types of baseball or softball pitching machines available in the market?

On his retirement from the game he joined as a pitching coach. A Lasting ImpressionI know that Milledge has probably been brought up a year or so too early, but I’m really excited as to what the future holds for Milledge and the Mets. The Cameron/Nady trade now looks even better as the Mets dumped a lot of salary, and now have a deep outfield anyway, an area of the Mets that we expected to worsen significantly after the departure of Mike Cameron. I do hope that Willie Randolph decides to start Milledge on a consistent basis, rotating in Nady for Floyd/Milledge from time to time. A Wheel Within a Wheel: The Negro LeaguesHistorians are just beginning to chronicle the major role that Black athletes played in making professional baseball popular. When the majors started to become popular in the early 1900's, an unwritten barbaric rule went into effect that kept players of color out of professional baseball. A-Rod: A Liability at Third BaseIn the beginning of the year, when A-Rod was hearing it from the boobirds of Yankee Stadium, I was sticking up for the guy. I told friends, family, people on the internet, and fellow fans to give the guy a break and that he would be getting back on track relatively soon. A-Rod would get back to his old ways of playing great offensively, and playing a damn good third base for the Yankees. Albert Pujols New Home Run Record Sets PaceWhile the eyes of fans focus on Barry Bonds, Albert Pujols is Major League Baseball's newest record setter. It was in the year 1956 that the great Mickey Mantle set the pace for the fastest 19 home runs in MLB history. This record was broken 45 years later in the year 2001 by Luis Gonzalez of the Arizona Diamond backs. All-Star Game Is A Misfit For Ozzie & It Has Hurt The White SoxThe worst thing that could happen to the Chicago White Sox in June and early July wasn’t dumping games to the likes of Pittsburgh and to Baltimore, though that’s bad enough.It’s having their bizarre, colorful, and often vitriolic skipper, Ozzie Guillen, be selected as the American League’s Manager in the All-Star Game.The last thing this guy, or the Sox need is more of a spotlight on the Wizard of Oz, or is it The Wizard of Odd?His running off at the mouth is legendary, and he’s always popping off about how this or that season will be his last.But now, he has to be good, like the class clown whose parents have finally shown up at school to sit next to him. Oz isn’t used to this sort of expectation or scrutiny.This guy has been managing outside of his comfort zone for the better part of a month. With one eye peeled on the All-Star roster and the other on the press, Ozzie has been more than slightly distracted, an the Sox are paying the price, says Dr. Gary S. Goodman, top speaker, seminar producer, best-selling author, and Fortune 1000 consultant. American Baseball Professional League - HistoryThe first four teams were founded in South Bend, Indiana; Kenosha and Racine, Wisconsin; and Rockford, Illinois.

The United States was in a recession, and young men who would typically be out on the baseball diamond entertaining the crowds (that couldn’t afford the tickets anyway) were needed to fight in the war. Any Fool Can Criticize, Condemn, And ComplainAlex Rodriguez is already subjected to "Bronx Cheers" on any given night at the Stadium. After a slow, mildly unimpressive start to the season, A-Rod's head is already being called for. Before we join up with the rest of the mob and crucify Alex, let's take a look at some telling statistics of A-Rod's time with the New York Yankees, and why I believe that the criticism of A-Rod is indeed unjust. Are The White Sox Choking?"Maybe I’m a terrible White Sox fan, but I think they’re about to choke," predicts Dr. Gary S. Goodman, President, best-selling author, and international keynote speaker."Like a guy who went on vacation and came back to see his favorite stock is tanking, I’m getting the same queasy feeling about the Men In Black & White" confesses this sales, service, and success consultant and creator of the popular audio program, "The Law of Large Numbers: How To Make Success Inevitable," published by Nightingale-Coannt. Arod: Overpaid or Over CriticizedNobody seems to take more abuse than Alex Rodriguez, but does he deserve it? Or is it a simple case of jealousy over the money he makes?
