We're coming up on September, the month of the year where playoff spots are clinched and award winners take a stand. Going into the season's final month, there are a lot of questions floating around the league. Five of the six division races are within five games, and there are nine teams vying for two […]

One of the latest (and greatest) memes online today is "Gangnam Style", a Korean dance music video that has exploded since being released on Youtube in the middle of July. For the record "gangnam style" is apparently a synonym of more American terms swag and YOLO…OK, I'm feeling very old explaining all of this. Anyway, […]

In eight innings, Britton allowed one run on seven hits, and struck out ten batters without walking one. For Britton, who has only made eight starts in the majors this season while battling injuries […]

The New York Daily News is reporting that Lindsay Lohan is moving from Los Angeles to New York. This isn't baseball news in the slightest. However, at her new place in New York, Lohan was apparently hanging out with a pair of former Yankees on Tuesday. Former Yankees? AWESOME! They must be superstars, like Bernie! […]

This is apparently real life: the Rockies are going to go into the 2013 season with their four man starting rotation intact. That's right: a largely experimental procedure that has been roundly mocked around the league is going to continue next season. The way the Rockies will apparently handle things consists of them having their […]

The Pirates were left for dead earlier this week. The Cardinals were too good. There was no way they could catch them. But after the last two night, Pittsburgh has a hope. On Wednesday, they beat the Cardinals 5-0, their second straight shutout. Pedro Alvarez homered again, his third in the last two games and […]

Tuesday night, Braves starter Kris Medlen put together another fantastic performance, shutting out the Padres over eight innings, striking out nine without a walk. In six starts this year, Medlen has a 0.66 ERA in 40 2/3 innings, striking out 38 and walking just five. Medlen is performing for the Braves like they thought Tommy […]

The Washington Nationals have lost five games in a row, with last night's 9-0 laugher in Miami as the latest bit of futility. Stephen Strasburg also terribly struggled last night, which immediately has some people screaming for him to be shut down….please. Despite Washington's struggles lately, they've actually picked up a game and a half […]

Giants left fielder Gregor Blanco, third baseman Pablo Sandoval, and shortstop Brandon Crawford all chased the ball, Sandoval got there first and got his glove on it, but it bounced off of […]

During Tuesday's Pirates-Cardinals game, Pirates leftfielder Jose Tabata hit a single to right field in the second inning. Cardinals right fielder Carlos Beltran came up throwing, and fired a laser to Yadier Molina at home plate. Josh Harrison flew into Molina like a missile…but Molina held on to the ball. Harrison's collision with Molina was […]

The Oakland Athletics are having a fantastic year that came completely out of nowhere. They're tied for the lead in the top spot in the AL Wild Card race with another miracle team (the Baltimore Orioles), and are half a game ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays in those standings. The A's are even within […]

Still reflecting on the megadeal, two of the four players that the Red Sox traded to the Dodgers were acquired prior to the 2011 season. Carl Crawford was handed $142 million, and Adrian Gonzalez was given $154 million. Also, the Sox forfeited a first round draft pick to sign Crawford, and four prospects to acquire […]
