Just call Justin Morneau Mr. July…. THREE UP/THREE
DOWN Hitters Howie Kendrick, 2B—LAA (UP) The contact-hitting second
baseman of the Angels has finally warmed up after suffering a series of injuries in mid-April that sidelined him for a good five to six weeks of the season. Upon returning, Kendrick struggled to a .247 batting average in June, but has picked it up in July ...

positive energy.
The second half of the baseball season is
underway, and memories of All-Star Weekend are still quasi-fresh
in our minds. The game itself was great, but vastly overshadowing it was the Home Run Derby and more notably, the show that Josh Hamilton put ...

It’s All-Star week, so lets take a look
at this years’ American League Roto All-Stars…. It’s a
rite of summer, every year we fans get to vote for who we want to see in the All-Star game. Some of us punch the little holes out on a ballot card for each player on our favorite team, while other fans vote for which player they believe to be the best at his position. And then some of us think ...

Isn't saying Justin Morneau winning the Home Run
Derby a lot like saying that the New York
Giants shouldn't have won the Super Bowl?

the 2008 MLB All-Star Game, with Michael Young hitting
a sac fly to drive in Justin Morneau.
