AL All-Star Voting: Mike Trout Deserves To Start

TweetAndrew Cashner Rejoins San Diego Padres, Will Start Tonight
After a three-start tune-up in Double-A, Andrew Cashner is rejoining the San Diego Padres to start against the Houston Astros tonight.

TweetMatt Kemp Cleared To Compete In Home Run Derby, Not All-Star Game
Matt Kemp is the leading vote-getter in the National League, but the Los Angeles Dodgers will hold their superstar out of the game.

TweetRoy Oswalt Wins Texas Rangers Debut, Pitches Into 7th Inning
Roy Oswalt was a free agent for the first time this offseason. Things didn’t turn out as he might have imagined.

After being the best team in baseball last month, the Miami Marlins have crumbled in June. The franchise has to hope South Beach sports fans have been too caught up in the Miami Heat’s NBA championship run to notice. The Marlins lost to the Boston Red Sox 6-5 last night, dropping their fourth-straight game. As [...]

TweetMLB Rumors: Los Angeles Dodgers Ready To Replace James Loney At First Base?
After low expectations coming into the season, the Los Angeles Dodgers have exploded out of the gate thanks to some surprising performances.

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 [...]
