A deal has been made between the LA Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox. And it’s a deal that should help the Dodgers down the stretch as they make a run for the playoffs. The trade involved nine players. Four going from Boston to LA and five going from LA to Boston. The Dodgers sent […]

Clemens is Back
Over the past few years Roger Clemens’ name has been prominent in sports news. But not for positive reasons. Perjury and trial are just a couple of the words that come to mind when Clemens comes up in conversation. Now he’s back in the headlines for new reasons, what some may consider as positive ones. […]
Strasburg shut down for 2-3 Starts
Young pitchers have always been watched over very closely. Their arms are important – without them they can’t do their jobs. So managers and teams may chose to limit innings and pull these young guns out of games early because of their pitch counts. It’s a healthy thing these managers and teams are doing. They […]
Bartolo Colon receives suspension
Two drug related suspensions have been issued in one week by Major League Baseball. The newest 50-game performance-enhancing drug (PED) suspension recipient is Oakland Athletics’ pitcher Bartolo Colon. Like Melky Carbrea, of the San Francisco Giants, Colon tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone. He will be missing the remainder of the regular season (40 […]
Another 50-game suspension
Melky Cabrera was the MVP of the 2012 All-Star game in Kansas City. He was leading the National League in batting average before the All-Star break and is currently only second with a .346 average to Andrew McCutchen’s .359 average. But now it doesn’t really matter because for the next 50 games Cabrera will not […]
King Felix throws perfecto
[mlbvideo id=”23925009″ width=”400″ height=”224″ /] As according to Justin Verlander’s twitter, Felix Hernandez can now enter the perfect game room for MLB 2K12.

Inge dislocates shoulder, hits go-ahead run
[mlbvideo id=”23832015″ width=”400″ height=”224″ /] Brandon Inge, the former Detroit Tiger, has been nothing short of inspirational in his time as an Oakland Athletic. Fans in Detroit, talked more trash and gave Inge the hardest time because of his lack of performance not only at the plate, but in the field as well. They weren’t […]
2012 All-Star Game
The All-Star game was a very large blow-out this year. The American League couldn’t score a run if they tried. A lineup that included some of the league’s best hitters, Prince Fielder, Josh Hamilton, Jose Bautista and even Miguel Cabrera. An all-star (for lack of a better term) pitching staff including the likes of Justin […]
Ordonez Retires
[mlbvideo id=”12602373″ width=”400″ height=”224″ /] This moment is something Detroit Tigers fans will hold onto for years to come (it has been 6 years since it happened). They will store it in their hearts near the feeling of winning the World Series in 1969 and 1984. They will reflect on it with the same love […]
Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend
There is this saying that “Diamonds are a girls best friend.” Some girls would like diamond jewelry. It’s shiny and pretty and sparkles in the light. That’s not the kind of diamond I want. I want to spend my days on the baseball diamond. It may not be shiny, but occasionally it sparkles in the […]
