Posted by on 13 April 2012, 2:07 am

The first week of the 2012 season was far from boring, as the competition is even better than I realized.

My advice is if you want to make a baseball fan out of someone this is the season to do it but that is for another post.

For now, here are my weekly power rankings…remember weekly isn’t limited to just the past week as I prefer looking at the bigger picture; and comments are just my quick notes.

Baseball Basics: Statistical Basics

Posted by on 13 May 2010, 2:09 am

Hey newbie fans, hopefully by now you have started to grasp the basics of baseball.

Now with the season in full swing, you newbies should be ready for the next question. This has been asked a few times over the last week.

Baseball Basics Question:

“WHAT STATISICS DO ALL THE ABBREVIATIONS STAND FOR?”

Batters and pitchers both have their own set of statistics. To make it easier, I have two separate posts, one for batting and the other for pitching. Continue reading ‘Baseball Basics: Statistical Basics’ »

Yankees Win But Today All Of Baseball Lost

Posted by on 5 May 2010, 1:28 am

Baseball lost a hero today with the passing of Ernie Harwell who was 92 years old.

For 55 years, Mr. Ernie Harwell was the quintessential icon of baseball broadcasters. Over 42 of those seasons, Mr. Harwell was the radio voice for the Detroit Tigers earning a niche in the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1981. Detroit felt pride because Mr. Harwell was so proud of the city each and every day.

Mr. Harwell invited the listener into the ballpark. His voice always kept it easy and never took the spotlight off the game.

The broadcaster’s voice did not compare to the kindness of his person. Out of the booth, Mr, Harwell was gracious to people with his kind demeanor, his endless smiles and humble whit.

For baseball fans’ everywhere his love for the game was rarified air, that will be sorely missed.

The sports world is forever indebted to you for writing the greatest meaning of baseball, that will forever define it.

Mr. Harwell, it was my honor and your heart that made me fall in love with baseball.

Baseball’s Always On My Mind

Posted by on 14 February 2010, 3:24 am

Lady Loves Pinstripes will be back to daily blogging on February 19th, as recent elbow surgery has my right arm in a sling until the stitches come out.

Baseball season is about to start and I could not be more thrilled with anticipation of a Yankee replication. Also, looking forward to seeing how are new additions feel to the team, along with are regulars. Hope it will be thrilling, and I am referring to on the field, not actions that cannot change anything but harm the game I love so much.

Baseball is always on my mind, and can’t wait for my second season to begin.

The 4 Next Biggest Headlines Possible For Second Half Of 2009 Season

Posted by on 8 July 2009, 6:04 pm

What an exciting and competitive first half of baseball in the 2009 season. Never short of drama both on and off the field but keep in mind we are only at the mid-point of the season. Now starts the second half which gives all teams almost a fresh start to regroup and attack.

Even teams in dead last realize that anything is possible. Plenty of teams have been under .500 baseball at the all-star break and made the playoffs. It looks like a lot of the old rivals will be going head to head hoping to be crowned the division champion.

This is going to be exciting and I am sure the way sports are today the drama will continue.

Sadly, in order to get a player attention from the media or press, off-field antics are what gets you the headline; remember when it was actually how a player preformed at the sport of baseball, not who you date or what party you might have attended till 3am when all thought you needed a few days off from fatigue.

I know that some of my “headlines” are so slim but not out of the question and in the MLB you just never know.
