  • The Top Ten Highest Paid MLB Players in 2012

    Alex Rodriguez leads the highest salary list in MLB once again, getting overpaid for producing less and less each year, like most huge contracts tend to do. He’s joined by two other Yankees in the top 4, while the Detroit Tigers send three players as well into the list of mostly overpaid players.

  • Baseball Is Nearly Back, If You’ve Noticed

    The 2012 Baseball season has already started, but it hasn’t been really noticed. The NBA, despite of the lockout, didn’t really take a hit in popularity. Too many stars, too many crowd-pleasers in the league right now. March Madness and College Basketball has been extremely appeasing, despite the apparent uneven field. We’ll see if Kansas can do something about it.

  • Yankees Aggressive Moves in Rotation Improvement

    The New York Yankees struggled with their pitching last season, but they’ve gotten a whole of a lot better over the weekend. First they traded Jesus Montero to Seattle for 23 year old Michael Pindea who had a very impressive rookie season in 2011 and then signed free agent veteran Hiroki Kuroda on a one year deal from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

  • 2011 NLDS/ALDS Diary – Day 2

  • Playoffs Getting Closer? (Rays vs Yankees)

  • Mariano Rivera Becomes All-Time Saves Leader (Yankees vs Twins)

    Closing out all of the last three Yankees wins, Mariano Rivera became MLB’s all time leader in saves, making his 602nd with a 1-2-3 sweeping of the Minnesota Twins, giving the Yanks a 6-4 win and singled the start of the modest celebrations.

  • Mariano Rivera Gets to 600 Saves (Yankees vs Mariners)

    Mariano Rivera sealed the New York Yankees’ 90th win this season, 3-2 over the Seattle Mariners, with his 41 save in 2011 and more importantly, number 600 of his career, on his way to become the all time saves leader, passing Trevor Hoffman.

  • Jesus Montero Worth the Hype (Yankees vs Orioles)

    Jesus Montero was called up from the minors for hitting prowess and his ability at catcher. The Yankees are in greater need of helping their pitchers, but Montero, at DH, justified his promotion with two home runs, helping the New York Yankees to a 11-10 win over the Baltimore Orioles, making it a 2.5 game lead on top of the AL East.

  • Josh Beckett and Home Runs do the Job (Red Sox vs Yankees)

    The bats were working this time, unlike the 2-5 loss on Tuesday. Josh Beckett, like with all his games against the Yankees, was dominant, and came out on top, making it 4-0 for against their AL East rivals, with a 1.85 ERA in 5 starts against them. The Red Sox now have a 1.5 game lead.

  • Sabathia Finally Manages to Win (Yankees vs Red Sox)

    CC Sabathia is 17-3 with a 2.40 ERA this season, when facing anyone but the Red Sox. Against Boston? Well, after the 5-2 win in Fenway park, making it 3-13 in the Red Sox’s favor this year (that bad, huh?). Until this win, Sabathia was 0-4 against Boston this year, with a terrible 7.40 ERA.
