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 [...]
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).

TweetWas Edwin Jackson The Best Signing Of The Offseason?
Entering free agency Edwin Jackson should have been considered one of the top prizes in free agency. He was a starting pitcher in his prime, entering the 2012 season at age 28.

TweetChris Carpenter Could Be Ace In The Hole For St. Louis Cardinals
Chris Carpenter pitched off a mound for the first time since March 3 Wednesday. The St. Louis Cardinals’ ace has been out with a mysterious nerve irritation in his pitching shoulder.

TweetMiguel Montero Signs 5 Year Extension With Arizona Diamondbacks
One of the most pressing issues for the Arizona Diamondbacks is the future of Miguel Montero. He’s a potential free agent at the end of the season, and coming off a career year that saw him hit 18 HR, drive in 86 while posting an 820 OPS, it was likely that he’d earn a big [...]
TweetNaked Streaker Interrupts Cardinals-Phillies Game
A naked streaker ran onto the field at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on Thursday night, disrupting a game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Phillies.
