All of the talk around the baseball world this morning is Carlos Beltran throwing out Josh Beckett at first base during Thursday's Cardinals-Dodgers game. While that was a more embarrassing play, it wasn't the best throw of the evening. That honor goes to St Louis catcher Yadier Molina, who nailed Dee Gordon stealing with an […]

I'm sure everyone has heard of the Taiwanese animations that roll out every so often when there's a significant news event in America. Well, a new one just came out, and it goes after…the New York Yankees? In this video, the Yankees pending collapse is discussed. Both the Yankees and Orioles are on pirate ships, […]

Going into this week's opening series, the Orioles were a game back of the Yankees in the AL East, and the Rays were just one game behind the Orioles. Things have taken an interesting turn. The Yankees beat the Red Sox 2-0, and the Orioles swept the Rays after a 4-3 win in 14 innings. […]

This is some news that the Yankees absolutely needed:

While the Cardinals, Pirates, and Dodgers all struggle in the NL Wild Card race, the Phillies and Brewers just keep pushing forward. The Phillies beat the Marlins 3-1 on Wednesday to win their seventh game in a row, push themselves above .500 for the first time in three months, and move to within three games […]

In the wake of Brandon McCarthy getting hit in the side of the head last week and the horrifying aftermath, this is some scary, scary stuff. Houston Astros rookie reliever Mickey Storey was hit in the face with a line drive in Wednesday's game against the Cubs. The ball was hit in the eighth inning […]

During Wednesday's Braves-Brewers game, reigning National League MVP Ryan Braun hit a long fly ball to deep right field. Braves right fielder Jason Heyward got a good beat on the ball, and made a twisting, leaping catch to steal a homer from Braun that would have given Milwaukee the lead. In the first inning, Heyward […]

The 2013 MLB schedule has been released, the first that will see at least one interleague matchup during every series of the year. There are also some additional quirks to things….let's take a look at it all. The season is back to starting earlier, and Opening Day league-wide will be on Monday, April 1st…well, aside […]

Dear Mike Trout, Please stop making tremendous defensive plays. You're destroying everyone with your bat, and your defense is just as impeccable. Yoenis Cespedes is having a damn fine rookie year, and you just had to go ahead and rob him of a hit on Tuesday night in Anaheim, in addition to blowing him out […]

Last season, the Cardinals were beneficiaries of the Braves choking away the NL Wild Card. This year, the Braves appear to be safely locked in to the first Wild Card slot, but the Cardinals are the ones choking it away. After Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Padres, the Cardinals lead is down to just one […]

During Monday's Pirates-Reds 14 inning marathon, Reds fans at Great American Ballpark decided to amuse themselves near the end of the game that lasted over five hours and started howling like wolves.  This seems to happen in long Pirates games. Remember last year's mess in Atlanta, with the "LET'S GO PIRATES!" girl? Of course. I […]

This came to my attention this morning after reading a piece on Getting Blanked by Dustin Parkes, where he noted that Brandon Phillips of the Reds accused a mystery Pirate of racism during Monday's game between the two teams. After the game, Phillips tweeted this out:

The White Sox beat the Tigers 6-1 last night to move to three games up in the AL Central. This series is the last between the two contenders this year, and a series win for either side could potentially decide the division. The Tigers came into Monday's game with seven straight wins over the White […]
