This from SI.com: “Strasburg has ‘significant tear’; Tommy John surgery likely.” Seems I’ve seen this movie before.

Yes! The double “Where are they now” issue! The mag includes pieces on Orel Hershiser, Stan Musial (by Joe Posnanski), and the print edition has a page comparing the managerial careers of Lou Pinella vs. Lou Brown, probably more well known by the actor who portrayed him, James Gannon. Gannon died July 16 at the […]

Instead the main story was the aftermath of “The Decision.” Baseball stories include: A Tom Verducci profile of the Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera, who’s been putting up Triple Crown numbers so far. A look at the Cliff Lee trade. Who’s MLB’s most […]

With five no-hitters in the book (depending on your philosophy) in the books, SI‘s cover story by Albert Chen considers the dominance of pitchers in 2010. Whoa. I was just about to link to this story and this is what I got. Will someone please tell Apple there are still a few of us who […]

Sorry, no major baseball stories this week. Just wanted to let you know.

Nationals phenom Stephen Strasburg is the latest to contend with the dreaded SI cover curse. Albert Chen does the editorial honors with this profile and a sidebar, which I’m guessing looks much better in the magazine than on the website. The other baseball feature, written by Pablo Torre, considers Ian Snell and others who suffer […]

Fimrite, a wonderful feature writers for Sports Illustrated, among other publications, died April 30. For some reason it took two weeks for his obituary to be published. Among Fimrite’s baseball books are The World Series: A History of Baseball’s Fall Classic, and Birth of a Fan.

Baseball takes center stage once again as Tom Verducci has a roundtable with the Yankees’ Mt. Rushmore: Jeter, Posasda, Rivera, and Pettitte. Also, Joe Lemire on Carlos Zambrano, the Cubs’ new middle relief man.

The NFL Draft takes center stage. Don’t know about you, but I’m tired of other sports — most notably football — turning into a year-round, attention-hogging entity. Not to get too philosophical, but there’s something to be said about absence making the heart grow fonder. Without darkness, there’s no light. Without sour, you don’t appreciate […]

The Masters took center stage this week; congrats to Phil Mickelson. Tom Verducci gives Jason Heyward the treatment in “Legend Before His Time.” (Note to editors: Please, please, please, don’t put Heyward on the cover.) Joe Sheehan on how the Twins are coping without their All-Star closer And a very brief review of Tim Wendel’s […]

Baseball’s opening games took a back seat to the Duke Blue Devils and the NCAAs. Baseball items were basically limited to a profile of pitcher Wandy Rodriguez and other possible break-out pitchers of 2010.

Sorry, about the lateness. Life and everything, you know. The Baseball Preview issue. Yes! So, of course, you’re going to have the team profiles. Yada, yada, yada. One-page wonders that list the projected starting lineup, a statistical nugget, a “player to watch,” and a “modest proposal” on how to make the team better. The major […]

Actually, I suppose this is last week’s news, but since there are several baseball items worth noting, here goes: An item about Sen. Jim Bunning, who displays the same bulldog tenacity on Capitol Hill as he did the pitching hill. A profile on Orioles catcher Mark Wieters by Tom Verducci and a sidebar on the […]

Lee Jenkins’ profile of the Mets’ David Wright is the only baseball piece in this issue, which concentrates on post-Olympics stories.
