It's hard to fathom a sporting event that's taken place in the past century that's been more mythologized than last night's Mets-Cardinals regular season game at Citi Field. Reading the media accounts of the game, you'd think Christ himself had made an appearance on the field, converted the heathens and hit a walkoff grand slam […]

The Dodgers have lost five in a row, and last night was the cherry on top of that streak, a 13-3 loss to the Rockies. The first four games in the streak came to the Brewers, who came into the series in LA nine games under .500. Before last night's game, the Rockies were eight […]

The LA Angels and the Texas Rangers have one of the most intense budding rivalries in all of sports.  The two teams have spent the last few years slugging it out for supremacy in the AL West.  They've talked trash.  They've gotten in brawls.  And now… THEY ARE MILKING COWS!!!! Yes, that's right, that was […]

After 8,019 games, it's finally happened: a New York Mets pitcher has thrown a no-hitter. And that pitcher is Johan Santana. Santana and the Mets beat the Cardinals tonight 8-0, with Santana holding the best offense in the National League hitless. It wasn't a perfect game, as Santana walked five St Louis hitters to go […]

According to

Last night was the final night of May…and there were three games on the MLB schedule. Really? Three games? I understand the logic of doing it, as all teams need a day off, and with the weather getting warmer across the country, one nearly full-blown day off across the league seems like a good thing. […]

Justin Verlander is a no-hit pitcher. But he's also a no-hit hitter. It's like he's pitching to himself almost. In his career during interleague play, Verlander is 0-for-20 with 13 strikeouts and his seven other outs weren't exactly results of bad luck. But Verlander is trying to change that. It's no secret around Detroit that […]

Chan Ho Park made a pretty nice Major League career out of pitching. In fact, at the age of 38, he's still pitching over in South Korea, last I checked. He provided 17 years of service for seven different big league teams and, on October 1, 2010, he became the winningest Asian pitcher in MLB […]

Major League Baseball is 'looking into' a spat that occurred between home plate umpire Laz Diaz and New York Yankees catcher Russell Martin on Wednesday night. According to Martin, he and Diaz got into an argument over balls and strikes early in the game and Diaz's bizarre way of holding a grudge was to not […]

A disastrous season for the Colorado Rockies has gotten even worse, as they’ve had to place shortstop

It is never too early to start talking about the trade deadline, especially when we can talk about would-be contenders that might unexpectedly end up being sellers rather than buyers at the deadline.  Over the next few weeks, we’ll be taking a look at many of these such teams, and there is a surprisingly large […]

During yesterday’s Brewers-Dodgers game, Andre Ethier doubled to left center, and Matt Kemp scored from first on the play. However, while Kemp was coming into third base, he considerably slowed up, and limped off the field after scoring. While in the dugout, Kemp then proceeded to leap up and down a few times to test […]

Coming into Wednesday’s game against the Rangers, the Mariners offense was really, really bad. No power. No patience. But last night, something happened against the Texas Rangers, the best team in the American League. The Mariners put 21 runs on the board, including eight runs in the second AND third innings. I’ve created a special […]
