  • Ichiro Suzuki – Hard to Believe He’s in Yankees Uniform

    How did Ichiro Suzuki do on his first night wearing New York Yankees uniform? 1-4, 1 stolen base. Nothing sensational from a player going through a very sub-par season, showing that age catches up even with him. The surrounding and scenario were the special case this time – Ichiro Suzuki, playing for the New York Yankees, in Seattle, against the Mariners.

  • The AL & NL Rosters for the 2012 MLB All-Star Game

    The 83rd edition of the MLB All-Star game takes place on July 10, 2012, at the Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri; Home of the Kansas City Royals.

  • Troy Tulowitzki and His Mysterious Hockey Goalie – Pitcher Injury

    The Colorado Rockies’ All-Star Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki has already missed three weeks due to his injury, and now it has been announced that he’s going to miss eight more at least, planned to undergo surgery on his groin.

  • 15 Most Underrated MLB Pitchers According to the Players Themselves

    There’s a very thin line between underrated and overrated in baseball and in sports in general, usually having to do with the size of one’s contract. According to 293 baseball players polled by SI, Matt Cain, who makes $15 million a year, and Felix Hernandez, who everyone is waiting for him to get sick of losing in Seattle, are among them, believe it or not.

  • Welcome to the 2012 MLB Season, Where Higher Payrolls Mean Your Team Sucks

    Money usually means success, in the long run at least, when you talk about Major Leauge Baseabll. With no cap limits, teams that spend more money end up getting the best player, more wins and plenty of times more rings. In the 2012 season, so far, the four highest spending teams – Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies and Angels, aren’t working according to formula.

  • Random Dudes With More Home Runs Than Albert Pujols

    So how is Albert Pujols doing? Not that good. Yes, he’s making $12 million this year, his first with the Los Angeles Angels. Yes, he’s set to make $254 million through his 10 season with the Angels. Not that much to be upset about. But the hitting… The losing… The Home run numbers. Pujols has plenty to be upset about.

  • Hitters Can Have Perfect Games Too (Josh Hamilton Four Home Runs)

    Josh Hamilton makes a great story even if you put aside his ability and achievements on the field. A recovering drug addict and alcoholic, sometimes baseball and his ability to produce is the second thing people think of when they hear his name. But not on perfect nights like these. Not when he hits four home runs and breaks the AL record for total bases reached.

  • Albert Pujols Finally Has a Home Run (Blue Jays vs Angles)

    Albert Pujols isn’t exactly back to his old self, the one who won World Series rings and MVP’s when playing for the Cardinals, but getting a home run, his first of the season, his first in Angels uniform, is a good way to start getting back on track, for him and his team.

  • Matt Kemp’s April One of the Best Ever; Albert Pujols Goes Through His Worst

    Matt Kemp isn’t having the best April of all-time, despite what some people are saying without actually checking the stat sheets of anything that happened before 2012. Still, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Center Fielder has been having an incredible start on the right side of LA, while Albert Pujols is struggling in Anaheim and his first season in the AL.

  • Bullpen Problems Get Worse and Worse (Yankees vs Red Sox)

    Bobby Valentine got booed harder and harder every time he went up to the mound and made another pitching substitution. Each move he made just got worse and worse, as the New York Yankees came back from 0-9 to win 15-9 in Fenway Park, furthering the suffering of the rather dim 100 year Fenway Park celebrations for the Boston Red Sox.
