Mother?s Day Letdown: Ponson, Rangers Fall To A's 12-6 Last Wednesday, I submitted that the very foundation of Sidney Ponson's early success was built not upon the strength of glittering strikeout rates or impeccable control, but rather an unsustainably low fly ball rate, coupled with the good fortune of not having surrendered a home run through his first three starts (spanning 20.1 innings) of the 2008 season. On Mother's Day, the walls inevitably came crashing down. And, just as I prophesied last Wednesday, it wasn't a pretty sight to behold. Tickets.

A Whale's Vagina vs. Windy City: Of Baseball and Bloggers It's going to be quite a week here at Rumors and Rants. There is a chance for hysteria, depression, insults, rage, ecstasy and machete fights. If that doesn't keep you coming back I don't know what will. As you most likely don't know, with the addition of myself awhile back, a Bud Selig-like tie among the news team in terms of favorite baseball teams was broken.

Afternoon Red Sox Delight - 5/11 Before I depart to head back to my humble abode from the parental figures lake house, I thought I'd bring y'all the afternoon Boston Red Sox delight real quick. Bryan Corey is no longer a member of the Boston Red Sox organization as he has been traded to San Diego Padres for the famous PTNBL or cash considerations.
