Gary A. Vasquez-US PRESSWIRE

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).

Matthew Emmons-US PRESSWIRE

Roy Oswalt was a free agent for the first time this offseason. Things didn’t turn out as he might have imagined. Teams showed only luke warm interest in Oswalt, who had struggled with back issues in 2011. Oswalt didn’t help his own case much, either. Not only did he want to pitch for a contender, but [...]

After low expectations coming into the season, the Los Angeles Dodgers have exploded out of the gate thanks to some surprising performances.

Debby Wong-US PRESSWIRE

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.
