    It’s Over: Los Angeles Angels Sign Shohei Ohtani

    The most sought after player of this winter is off the market. Japanese multi-position star Shohei Ohtani will sign with the Los Angeles Angels, his final choice after narrowing it down to 7 teams this past week.

  • 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.

  • A Grand Slam Record (A’s vs Yankees)

    The Boston Red Sox might lead the AL East, might be topping most power raknings around the web, but after the New York Yankees became the first team in MLB history to hit three Grand Slam home runs in a single game, beating the Oakland Athletics 22-9, well, you gotta be a bit intimidated. And Alex Rodriguez is back, altought still in trouble with the league.

  • 600 Home Runs Club

    Jim Thome became the eighth player in MLB history to hit 600 home runs – knocking two out of the park to opposite field for the Twins in their 9-6 win over the Detroit Tigers. In honor of his achievement, the first to reach 600 since Alex Rodriguez did just over a year ago, here are all the players to reach and pass this milestone.

  • Dan Uggla Hitting Streak Ends at 33 (Cubs vs Braves)

    Dan Uggla is the latest player in the DiMaggio chase who falls short. It seemed he had a few more games to this streak in him – Uggla was hotter during the last week than this whole season and hitting streak, boming home runs and finally getting some multiple hit games. Alas, the longest hitting streak in the Majors in five years is now over.

  • Dan Uggla’s Extends Hitting Streak to 33 (Braves vs Cubs)

    Dan Uggla continued to be red hot, extending his hitting streak to 33 and adding a home run, his 27th of the year, a shared third sport in the NL, one less than Albert Pujols and Lance Berkman. The Atlanta Braves, however, weren’t fortunate enough to continue their winning streak, losing 8-4 to the Chicago Cubs after five straight wins.

  • Dan Uggla Gets to 32 With Style (Braves vs Cubs)

    Dan Uggla’s hitting streak just gets better and better. It’s not that he’s reached 32. After getting 3 hits to cap off the sweep in the Marlins series, Uggla homered twice against Carlos Zambrano yesterday, reaching 26 this season, as the Atlanta Braves opened their series against the Chicago Cubs with a 10-4 win in Turner Field.

  • Dan Uggla and His Hitting Streak? 31 and Still Going (Braves vs Marlins)

    Dan Uggla didn’t just get another hit to extend his hitting streak to 31, the longest in the Majors since Chase Utley’s 36 in 2006. He hit 3-5 with 2 RBIs as the Atlanta Braves beat the Florida Marlins 6-2, completing a series sweep in Miami, improving to 69-49 and keeping their firm grip of the Wild Card spot in the NL.

  • Dan Uggla’s Hitting Streak Reaches 30 (Braves vs Marlins)

    Dan Uggla didn’t help his batting average or the rest of those numbers on another ugly hitting night. One for six, striking out twice, leaving 5 on base. Still, his hit in the fifth drew more cheers from the dugout than Martin Prado’s go ahead single in the 11th inning, giving the Braves (68-49) a 4-3 over the Florida Marlins, their second straight win against them before the series ends today.
