MLB Rumors: Buyers and Sellers of the National League
I wrote something similar to this yesterday about the buyers and sellers of the American League. Well, now it is July 19th, and it is one day closer to the non-waiver trade deadline in Major League Baseball. Nothing major has actually happened in the trade market in the last 24 hours, so that makes this [...]
TweetThe 2012 All-Average Teams at the MLB All-Star Break
You know that the MLB All-Star game is tomorrow. I assume you know that. If you didn’t know that, then you know it now. If you already knew that, then you probably know who is on the MLB All-Star teams. If you didn’t know that, then you can find out here. These players represent the [...]
TweetMidseason Awards: David Wright Is NL Comeback Player, MVP Candidate
Don’t call it a comeback, yet. The top candidates for the 2012 Comeback Player of the Year award have overcome injuries and/or poor play from last season, but they’ve still got a long way to go before their comebacks are complete. Over the next three months, some of the candidates will fade, and one or two [...]
TweetRant Sports MLB Power Rankings For Week Thirteen
Texas Rangers (This Week: 1, Last Week: 1) - They’ve been nearly unstoppable this week, pushing the Los Angeles Angels back to 5.5 games out of first. Josh Hamilton has really struggled in June, as pitchers are taking advantage of the fact he’s a free swinger who will try to make contact with any pitch thrown in [...]
TweetNL All-Star Voting: Joey Votto An Easy Choice
You may have wondered to yourself ‘who actually votes for the All-Star Game?’ Two sprained thumbs pointing at this guy (it is a lot of typing to go through 25 validation codes). I’ve always enjoyed casting my votes for the Mid Summer Classic since back when the only way you could let your voice be [...]
TweetCrazy Fan Calls Into Mike Francesa Radio Show And Wants Knuckleball Banned
It is a great time to be a fan of RA Dickey and the New York Mets. The Mets are playing some good ball and Dickey looks to be one of the best pitchers in baseball. However, not everyone likes it. In fact, a guy called into the radio show of Mike Francesa to demand [...]
TweetNew York Mets’ R.A. Dickey Pitches Second-Straight One-Hitter
From climbing Mout Kilimanjaro to releasing a tell-all book, R.A. Dickey made a few big headlines heading into this season. That’s nothing compared to what the New York Mets‘ knuckleballer has done since. Dickey tallied his second-consecutive one-hitter, striking out a career-high 13 batters in the process, as the Mets beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-0 [...]
TweetJason Bay Collides With Wall, Suffers Possible Concussion
Jason Bay was forced to leave tonight’s game after suffering a potential concussion. The New York Mets’ left fielder made a diving attempt to catch a fly ball, missed and hit his head on the wall. At this point, it’s more newsworthy when Bay is actually healthy. He managed to stay on the field for [...]
TweetR.A. Dickey and New York Mets Will Appeal for No Hitter
It was understandably overshadowed by Matt Cain’s dominate perfect game performance, but R.A Dickey came very close to throwing the New York Mets second no hitter yesterday. He was so close, in fact, that the commissioner’s office will be reviewing the game’s only hit- a first inning infield single by B.J. Upton to determine if [...]
TweetNew York Mets Reliever Jon Rauch Attacked On Twitter By Angry Fans
Jon Rauch is struggling with the New York Mets and giving up a walk off home run to Russell Martin of the New York Yankees on Sunday did not make his fans happy. In fact, Mets fans attacked the reliever on Twitter after the game. Don’t worry, the tweets are censored. @thejimmer32187: you f****** suck. Leave [...]
