Happy Independence Day, readers! Nothing says July 4th quite like fireworks, and analysis pieces on the best team in the nation's heartland. The Indianapolis Colts continue to produce a nearly unhealthy streak of double digit win seasons, and the two men most responsible for this success ...

Now that Manny Ramirez is back in the Dodgers’ lineup, Juan Pierre has once again become The Invisible Man.
I didn’t say it. The legendary Vin Scully said it last night after Ramirez went 0 for 3 at Petco Park and was then replaced by Pierre for defensive purposes.

Too bad Suppan isn't pitching today. You get the feeling 7 runs will not be enough to win this one. The Cubs could easily have 4 or 5 at the end of 3 complete.

The Good 7 innings and 2 runs out of AJ Burnett was quite a good appearance. Coke-Hughes-Rivera closed the game out with 2 innings of scoreless baseball. A-Rod and Cano both hit homeruns. The Bad Nick Swisher went 0-4, and is now down to a .236 batting average. The Ugly Posada had to sit ...

Summary: 8th inning, two outs, you are ahead 3-0, the next two guys in the line-up are in deep slumps. Your bullpen is the best in the major leagues (Cincy has an amazing bullpen).
Do you pitch to Mr. Pujols? It is radical to suggest, but I say: No, you do not. Walk him. Yes, I know the bases ...

Ryan Howard has not hit a ball out
of the park in his last ten games but
we've got a feeling he's going to bring some fireworks to Citizens Bank Park this afternoon when the Phils face Mets right hander Fernando Nieve. Nieve has been solid in his short time as a Mets starter but was ...

Schumacher grounds one to short, but Hairston can't make the play. Runner on first. Rasmus to the plate. Owings strikes him out, Pujols now up. Pujols a long at-bat. Now 3-2, keeps fouling off pitches looking for one to drive. Owings goes too far outside for ball four. Two on, one out. Chris ...

He was the bright light in the bullpen
in April, making 9 appearances for 18 innings with
a 3.37 FIP, pitching mostly in long relief with four outings of 2.1 innings or more pitched. Lance Cormier really shined in spring training and earn a spot in the Rays bullpen as the long reliever, ...

The NL East is baseball's tightest division, with four teams no more than two games out of first place. One of those teams is the 39-40 Atlanta Braves, who wouldn't mind adding a bat even after acquiring Nate McLouth . We've seen Javier Vazquez and Yunel Escobar mentioned as possible trade ...

Much the same lineup as yesterday, but Encarnacion is in at third and batting 6th, with Hairston at sS and Hernandez batting 8th. Hairston starts the 2nd by striking out on a slider sliding waaaay out of the strike zone. Hernandez to the plate and on the 3-2 pitch he flies out to CF. Now Micah ...

Baltimore Sun Orioles beat writer Jeff Zrebiec posed
an interesting question in a recent column. Zrebiec’s column

It’s a holiday weekend and I am supposed to be off, but heck I took two months off after heart surgery, and I feel like writing.
Plus, I have something to get off my chest (no pun intended, I don’t do heart jokes). Sometimes, I am so naive, I scare even myself.
For example: The first ...

Colby Rasmus hit a solo homer in the first, which stirred up bad memories of yesterday, but in the bottom of the inning the Reds got the run back. After Chris Dickerson grounded out, Willy Taveras singled and stole second, then Joey Votto tripled him in to tie the game. Brandon Phillips walked, ...
