How did we get here?”, the St. Louis Cardinals ask.

It’s absolutely amazing that the Cardinals are actually in the World Series, let alone going into the top of the ninth inning of game two up 1-0 against the Texas Rangers in the game while also being up 1-0 in the series.

Alright, I may have gotten a little excited with the title.
The Oakland Athletics have signed free agent pitcher Ben Sheets to a $10 million, one-year contract.
At 31 years old, Sheets has spent a considerable amount of time on the disabled list. In fact, he didn’t even pitch in the majors last season since he was recovering from [...]

Ichiro Suzuki has extended his hitting streak to 26 games, breaking his 2007 record of most consecutive games with a hit and setting the new standard in Seattle Mariners territory. It took only three pitches into the first inning from Baltimore Orioles rookie right-hander David Hernandez for the sweet-swinging centerfielder to line a base hit to short. He then made his way around the horn and scored on a two-out double by Jose Lopez.

In this article, I will be doing the best players for the NFC North but I will not be doing the offensive or defensive line. These are the players that have been playing in the NFL North last year. Let’s go!..Quarterback: Aaron Rodgers, Packers…The NFC North is the weakest division for the QB position, but Rodgers is the best QB in the division. Aaron is a good QB and is expected to do good this year, again.

Yeah, that’s right, I said it. Vote for Manny Ramirez to play in the All Star Game. Logic to follow. First off, if you didn’t know yet, Manny recently fell to fifth in the All Star ballot totals today. When I read this I thought to myself - gee, ESPN and co. are not talking about the great seasons that Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun, Philly’s Raul Ibanez, or Chicago’s Alfonso Soriano are having

Jon Lester started the season slowly, his record fell fast to a 3-5 start. He needed a big win, and today he got a great start. Lester went through 6 innings, giving only three hits on one run and having his bullpen give a solid last three.

I’ve climbed slowly from my deathbed after a few days of what I thought may have been some crazy incurable illness to gush about Tampa Bay Rays hurlerDavid Price. I know, I missed you guys, too. The 23-year-old rookie, who began this season with the AAA Durham Bulls, earned his first big league victory Sunday

Haven’t we seen this song and dance before? Sure some of the performers may have changed (some playing with the other side), but I feel confident that the results will remain the same as before. If you want to strictly look at the team numbers

After hearing the news that Manny Ramirez was fourth in All-Star voting so far this season, Jason Rosenburg decided to take action. And so Vote For Manny was born. There is no rule from keeping Manny off the ballet, since he is eligible to return to baseball on July 3, which is 11 days before the All-Star game in St. Louis. He trails only Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun, Alfonso Soriano of the Chicago Cubs and the New York Mets’ Carlos Beltran. However, the Los Angeles Dodgers plan — if they do indeed have one — is to stick Ramirez in the minors before he’s allowed to re-join the Dodgers’ outfield.

Rumors are swarming that Martin Truex Jr is on his way to Michael Waltrip Racing. Now I know what a whirlwind MWR is on, shoot, first win and all due to a rain out, but Martin, WHAT GIVES? Granted he has been involved in a smoke and mirrors organization since coming to the big show, but why leave one train wreck for another? Ask Bobby Labonte, Mark Martin and others what its like to finally get it that you cannot turn an organization around,
