The Pittsburgh Pirates lost 2-0 on Friday night to the Miami Marlins. Jeff Locke took the loss to drop to 9-3 on the season (ERA now at 2.15), but he has been very good in 2013 (earning his first All-Star birth of many) and his future is bright. Injuries in the rotation gave the 25-year-old [...]
Toronto Blue Jays Should Consider Shopping Mark Buehrle
The Toronto Blue Jays enjoyed a rare victory on Thursday night, winning 4-0 over the Houston Astros. This was the team’s first victory since the All-Star break (yikes) and it was authored by veteran Mark Buehrle.

Toronto Blue Jays Lose, Again, but Fun Was Had as Carlos Delgado Inducted Into Level of Excellence

The University of Miami product is chock-full of potential, so I sure get the enthusiasm surrounding the [...]
Miami Dolphins Stud Cameron Wake On Verge of Another Pro Bowl Season
In his four seasons with the Miami Dolphins, Cameron Wake has alternated good seasons with great seasons, but I like his chances of following his 2012 great season with an even better one in 2013. Wake was fantastic last season as he led the ‘Phins in sacks for the third-straight year with a whopping 15 [...]
Arizona Diamondbacks Lose Finale Before All-Star Break, but Paul Goldschmidt Plays Well Again
The Arizona Diamondbacks enter the All-Star break following a 5-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, but they remain in first place in the NL West, and they continue to get great play from first-baseman Paul Goldschmidt. The 25 year old fellow Virgo was born to hit, and this season he is putting it all together [...]
