Ah, the All-Star Game, created for MLB to sell merchandise and for fans to relentlessly complain about everything and anything. The American and National League teams were announced on Saturday night, and now we're in the midst of the Final Vote, with people pretty much screaming to the high heavens about the AL having five […]

With just one week until the All-Star Break, standings across the league are getting a little closer, building off of my point from yesterday. The Rays abd Orioles both picked up a game in the AL East and leapfrogged the Yankees to sit in a tie for second place behind the Red Sox. The Indians […]

It's a little sad that coming up on the All-Star Break, there is only one tight playoff race in the National League and two in the American League. In the NL, the Pirates lead the Cardinals by a game in the NL Central. St Louis has a comfortable 2.5 game lead on the Reds for […]

The San Francisco Giants are not playing good baseball right now. The team got smashed by the Dodgers 10-2 on Friday night, and Matt Cain allowed more runs (eight) than he got outs (seven). San Francisco is now seven games under .500, and 5.5 out (remarkably) in the NL West. If the first place Diamondbacks […]

Instead of my usual look at the night that was in the DD opening, I'm starting out differently. Today in America, it's Independence Day, or as it's more commonly known, the Fourth of July. The most common activities on the Fourth include drinking, grilling, and having a grand ol' time. And that's our right. But […]

I'm pretty sure that Homer Bailey of the Reds is one of the most unlikely players in league history with two no hitters. But honestly, Bailey has turned himself into one of the better pitchers in baseball this season. His 2.9 fWAR leads a very good Reds staff. His 111 innings pitched lead Cincinnati, and […]

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Homer Bailey no hit the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night in the Reds 3-0 win, facing just one batter above the minimum and throwing 109 pitches in the process.
