Fan backs Santana’s bold claim

I wrote an opinion story a few days ago about how Mets pitcher Johan Santana blatantly told the media that he was the best pitcher in his division and how that was wrong. A reader left a comment calling me an idiot saying I didn’t know anything about Santana and that he’s the highest paid in his division, as if that warrants him calling himself the best.

It looked as though the Phillies bats would remain silent at the beginning of the 9th inning in Philadelphia. Houston Astros pitcher Shawn Chacon had shut them out through 8 innings, and all hope looked lost with Stros’ closer Jose Valverde coming on.

Book Review: The 33-Year-Old Rookie
Posted by Milo Taibi Categories: Athletes, Editorial, MLB, Site Announcements,
With the 2008 baseball season beginning, many fans would see the name, “Chris Coste,” on the depth chart of the Philadelphia Phillies and think that he was just a warm body to back up starting catcher Carlos Ruiz. What they wouldn’t see is that Coste endured an 11 year minor league career to get where he is today. That’s why Chris Coste released this self-written book, to share his experiences in professional baseball before reaching the big leagues.
