Cone visiting doc during Doc’s 1996 no-hitter -... →
sportsnetny: Neat stuff Tuesday during YES’ Mariners-Yankees. A graphic asked the name of the M’s losing pitcher on this date, in 1996, when Dwight Gooden pitched his no-hitter. David Cone jumped: “I was lying in a hospital bad. That’s why Doc was starting. That was my spot in the rotation when I was diagnosed with an aneurysm. “I actually listened to that game on the radio because we couldn’t...

Things You May Have Missed While You Were Living...
oldtimefamilybaseball: This weekend, after Boston Police captured the second Marathon bomber, belonged to the Red Sox. And rightly so.  On Saturday, David Oritz gave us the quote of the year: “This is our fucking city.” Surprisingly, the FCC was completely fine with it. Not surprisingly, you can already order a number of tee-shirts with the phrase on it.  Jonny Gomes also played with one hell...

What to Watch - April 18, 2013
Apologies for missing WTW yesterday but things happen. Today, from rain-drenched Chicagoland, here are today’s games from best to worst: 1) Tigers at Mariners, 1:40 PDT - This may be the pitching matchup of the day with Justin Verlander facing Hisashi Iwakuma (Iwakuma is holding opponents to a .129 BA and has only one walk in 20 2/3 innings). The bullpens would like the starters to...
