      Sox Deny Sock Hoax

      (Newser) - Many past and current Red Sox rushed to the defense of Curt Schilling yesterday after Baltimore announcer Gary Thorne claimed the blood that famously turned the injured pitching ace's sock red in the 2004 ALCS against the Yankees was a hoax. Thorne said backup catcher Doug Mirabelli had told him it was a PR stunt. More »

      Peavy&rsquo;s 16 Ks Not Enough, as Padres Take It

      (Newser) - Stephen Drew stole the spotlight from Jake Peavy, connecting on a two-run walk-off homer off Trevor Hoffman in the ninth inning as the Diamondbacks upended the Padres 3-2. The rookie’s blast off of the future Hall of Famer overshadowed a historic effort from Peavy, who tied a career high in fanning 16 D-Backs. More »

      It Must Be Spring: Prior Out for Season

      (Newser) - Cubs right-hander Mark Prior underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery Tuesday and will not pitch again this year. An 18-game winner in 2003, Prior has been on the DL once in each of his six big-league seasons but had not had shoulder surgery before. "This is a step in the right direction," said manager Lou Piniella. More »

    • How A-Rod Got His Groove Back

      New York Times  |  Apr 22, 07 11:20 PM CDT

      How A-Rod Got His Groove Back

      (Newser) - A new hitting coach and newfound aggressiveness are two of the keys to a record-tying-hot start for Alex Rodriguez this season. That start, in turn, has helped ease the pain of a horrifically embarrassing 1-for-14 in the playoffs last season, during which the $252-million third baseman was dropped to eighth in the Yankees' batting order.

      A-Rod Notches Tenth Homer

      (Newser) - Oft-embattled Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez hit his tenth home run in 14 games to sink Cleveland 8-6, matching the second-fastest ten-homer start in major-league history.  Cleveland closer Joe Borowski gave up six runs in the bottom of the ninth, all after achieving two quick outs.

      Buehrle No-Hits Rangers; ChiSox Roll, 6-0

      (Newser) - Mark Buehrle, two starts from a minor injury to his throwing arm, thoroughly dominated the Texas Rangers today, giving up no hits and just one walk (to Sammy Sosa, whom he promptly picked off at first base).  Two Jim Thome solo shots and a grand slam from Jermaine Dye provided more offense than was strictly necessary.

      Sammy Blasts Homer in Chicago

      (Newser) - It was just like 1998. Sammy Sosa’s 3-run homer, number 591 of his career, propelled his team to an 8-1 win over the White Sox last night in Chicago. Only this time, it was on the North Side, Sosa was wearing a Rangers uniform, and the fans were booing him. More »

      King Felix Eclipses Dice-K, One-Hits Sox

      (Newser) - The much-ballyhooed matchup of Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki and Boston's Daisuke Matsuzaka—MLB's best Japanese hitter versus its first-year Japanese pitching sensation—turned out to be far less impressive than the performance of Seattle's young ace, Felix Hernandez.  King Felix, who had just turned 21 on Sunday, had a no-hitter until J.D. Drew's 8th-inning single, Boston's only hit. More »

      Cain Able, Giants Not; Padres Win 1-0

      (Newser) - The Giants continue to struggle to score runs and the Padres continue to excel at preventing them. The Padres' 1-0 win spoiled a brilliant outing by San Francisco’s Matt Cain, who allowed just one hit in seven innings, as the San Diego bullpen extended its season-opening scoreless innings streak to 20 2/3 with two shutout frames in relief of starter Chris Young.

      (Newser) - Three snowed-out Indians games, relocated to Milwaukee, will cost the city of Cleveland $150,000 in anticipated tax revenue, according to estimates by city officials.  The Indians' series against the Angels has been preemptively moved to Miller Park, where roughly 36,000 fans are expected to make the 400+ mile commute.

The zany renegade Cuban seems to be on the list beause he didn't  say "no" when asked by Jim Cramer if he was interested. More »

      Kerry Woos Baseball Vote With Cable Coup

      (Newser) - Whatever their politics, baseball fans nationwide can thank John Kerry for encouraging MLB to keep out-of-market games on cable.  Baseball was planning a $700 million exclusive deal with DirecTV that would have forced most fans to switch cable providers, a daunting prospect, before the Massachusetts senator intervened.

      (Newser) - This year's chic dark-horse pick to win baseball's NL Central, the Milwaukee Brewers, did not disappoint in their season opener, winning 7-1.  The opposing Dodgers mustered two hits in nine innings against Ben Sheets, the Brewers' alternately dominant and fragile ace.  Sheets has missed much of the past two seasons with injuries, but he feels this year will be different.

      'Roid Rage May Be Misplaced

      (Newser) - As opening day dawns, expect another season of home-run antics in lieu of your dad's short-ball game. But J.C. Bradbury argues in the New York Times that it's talent dilution, not steroids, that's changed the game: When the league expanded in the 90s, so did the number of hittable pitchers. "It allowed elite players, especially hitters, to excel." More »
