Colletti Goes to Work in a Big Hurry

2006-10-09 00:00:00

Moments after the Dodgers ducked into their clubhouse for the last time, the New York Mets celebrating on the field and a sellout crowd filing out of Dodger Stadium, General Manager Ned Colletti patted rookie catcher Russell Martin on the shoulder and...

Angels' Nick Adenhart had rekindled his early promise

2009-04-10 00:00:00

He bounced into the Angels clubhouse Wednesday wearing a faded Washington Redskins T-shirt and hole-pocked blue jeans, a reminder that the player who would throw six shutout innings against the Oakland Athletics that night was, really, just a kid. Nick...

Jeff Kent tries to remove foot from his cheek

2008-08-20 00:00:00

I apologize. I got so rattled after hearing Jeff Kent criticize Vin Scully, I had Kent batting ahead of Manny Ramirez in paragraph one and behind him in paragraph two in Sunday's column. Don't know who told the 7-Eleven Kid, but she refused to go out...

On Faith: Baseball and religion

2012-03-30 21:33:31

I am pleased to respond to a special request from the features editor for a column timed with the start of the 2012 Major League Baseball season. I want to begin with a favorite story about my beloved Chicago Cubs: A 7-year-old Chicago boy challenged...

Patrick Kane should not be traded

2012-02-15 18:23:00

Stop it, Chicago. Just stop it. Now. The Blackhawks are not going to trade Patrick Kane for a goalie. They are not going to trade him for a defenseman. Or two defensemen. Or a goalie and a defenseman. That's the type of talk being tossed out on talk...

Hernandez, getting a strike zone from plate ump Eric Gregg usually afforded Greg Maddux, beat Maddux and the Braves 2-1 giving the Marlins a 3-2 series lead, en route to the team's first World Series title.
