How much more patience is Milwaukee going to have is the question of the day. David Bush is still floundering and Wednesday, Chris Capuano was a late scratch with a groin problem. Is it just about Yovani Gallardo time?

Tuesday night, those lucky fans in Memphis got to see an Anthony Reyes/Gallardo matchup and it lived up to its billing. Gallardo pitched six innings of four-hit ball with one walk, two earned runs and 12 Ks in a losing effort. Reyes was just a bit better on this night, going eight strong innings for the win. For the season, Gallardo is now up to 110 Ks in 77 innings. If he’s still out there in your league, it might be time to reserve a bench spot for Yovani.

The phrase, “‘Tis a marathon, not a sprint” is certainly a favourite for all you Chone Figgins owners out there. Coming back after that nasty finger injury at the end of spring training, he struggled badly during May, but has been on fire the past couple weeks and looks like he could be on his way to reclaiming the lead-off spot from Reggie Willits.

Now that’s the Sidney Ponson we all know and hate. After […] more

Perennial injury risk Jaret Wright had his right shoulder examined by a team doctor Wednesday and no structural damage was found. That’s the good news. Wright left his start Tuesday in the sixth inning with shoulder tightness, pain he said was similar to that which knocked him out for over half the 2005 season. He’s […] more

Todd Bertuzzi adds some edge to the skillful Wings and it may come in very handy as they look to topple Calgary. Picking your fantasy playoff roster isn’t an exact science. You can’t just stack your team with stars because, in the end, only two teams will play all four rounds. So, what’s the best […] more

Baltimore at Tennessee – Well, this is just cruel. Other than Todd Heap, there really aren’t any great starts from either side in this game. Mark Clayton got a lot of looks last week, and he might be something of a sleeper pick on Sunday. Still, don’t use him as anything more than a third […] more
