Scanning the Scoreboard

Joel Pineiro pitched an unusual two-hitter. He used his defense as much as he could, striking out one, walking one and hitting one batter. The Mets were just 2 for 26 putting the ball in play as they lose to St. Louis 3-0. Brandon Inge hit his 17th ...

Team Offense, Houston Astros

The Astros scored 4.42 runs per game in 2008. This is really a tale of two lineups. The Astros two-three-four hitters are very good. The rest of the lineup leaves a lot to be desired, with the six-seven-eight slots just awful. The probable lineup rates ...
