Every morning, I send an email to my sports-averse coworkers detailing the biggest events in the sports world that day. This is to help them better converse with the sport-obsessed among us. I will publish this email every morning as the Bias Bulletin.

Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number…Even When It’s A Big Number

Last night, Colorado Rockies pitcher Jamie Moyer became the oldest player in MLB history to win a game. Moyer, who is 49 years and 150 days old, passed Brooklyn Dodger pitcher Jack Quinn who was 49 years and 70 days old when he took the record in 1932. Moyer pitched his best game of the young season, throwing 7 innings, surrendering no earned runs, and even striking out one San Diego Padres “hitter.” Moyer’s battery mate last night, Rockies catcher Wilin Rosario, was born in 1989, three years after Moyer’s MLB debut.

Protest This

Last night, Ozzie Guillen returned to the Miami Marlins’ dugout after serving a five game suspension for celebrating Fidel Castro in a Time magazine interview. Those in the media who envisioned widespread protests must have been left a little disappointed, as, by the account of Marlins blogger Joe Capozzi, “As of 20 minutes ago, the protest scene outside #Marlins Park consisted of the sum total of ONE guy holding a “No apology” sign.” On the diamond, where Guillen is paid to manage a baseball team, the Marlins defeated the Chicago Cubs 5-2, thanks to an 8^th inning, three-run home run by Hanley Ramirez. Which afforded us the opportunity to see the glorious Marlins Home Run Sculpture, replete with flying fish, the color pink, and geysers.

Jon Lester Just Doesn’t Look Like He’s Physically or Emotionally Into The Game

The Boston Red Sox were scheduled to play a baseball game last night against the Texas Rangers. Writers are still unsure as to whether the Sox showed up to Fenway Park in time for the game. Sox starter Jon Lester most certainly did show up and he hung around long enough to throw 2 innings of baseball, giving up 7 runs and 4 walks. The Red Sox bullpen did nothing to stop the bleeding, as they combined to surrender 11 additional runs, including six for reliever Mark Melancon, who the Red Sox traded a starting pitcher and their starting shortstop to acquire during the offseason. The Red Sox find themselves in last place in the AL East. Following this series with the American League’s best team, the Texas Rangers, the Red Sox welcome an upstart team from the Bronx called the Yankees of New York City. It should be a quiet, peaceful affair if the Red Sox continue to struggle.

Your Daily Washington Nationals Update

If Davey Johnson can find a way to have Gio Gonzalez only start game at home, the Cy Young may be coming to the 202. In his second start of the year at Nationals Park, Gio Gonzalez threw 7 shutout innings against the Houston Astros. Gonzalez allowed just 2 hits, while striking out 8.

With just a 1-0 lead entering the 9^th inning, the situation got tenuous, when Nationals closer (by default) Brad Lidge, allowed the first two Astros to reach base. Lidge was able to get the next three outs without surrendering a run, to preserve the victory for Gonzalez, his first in a Nationals uniform.

Washington will play the third game of a four game series with Houston tonight at the Navy Yard (weather permitting). They will send Jordan Zimmermann to the hill to oppose something named Lucas Harrell.

Game of the Day

(Yesterday, I made an egregious error when I listed the Pittsburgh Penguins @ Philadelphia Flyers game as the “Game of the Day.” The problem was that the teams were not scheduled to play yesterday. They play tonight. I apologize for error. That’s still a good game, but because this is the baseball edition….)

Philadelphia Phillies @ San Francisco Giants (10:15 p.m./MLB.TV or MLB Extra Innings)

Cliff Lee will opposed Matt Cain in what may be the best potential pitching matchup since Monday’s Phillies/Giants game. There’s every reason to believe this should be a gem. Cain is coming off of a near perfect game and Lee is never far from pitching perfection. There may not be a better pitching matchup. At least this week.
