The start of the second half of the 2010 MLB season is off to a roaring start. Over the past four days, we’ve seen an immense amount of action around the majors and amazing feats. From Thursday through Sunday, here are the best of the best from the past weekend in baseball!
Thursday
Chicago White Sox – In what is turning into being just a fun race to watch, the White Sox started off a four-game series with a come-from-behind win in Minnesota. The Sox trailed 6-4, but held on for an …

David Ortiz won his first home run derby by beating Hanley Ramirez.  This was Ortiz’s first win in the derby after failing to take it down in 2005 and 2006.  Ortiz beat some good hitters, but far from the leagues best.  Pujols, A-Rod, Adam Dunn, and Joey Votto were all not in the compettition.  Ortiz beat Corey Hart, Miguel Cabrera, Nick Swisher, Matt Holliday, Chris Young, Vernon Wells, and Ramirez.
The home run derby is so difficult for me to get excited about.  In fact, make that the whole All Star …

Honestly I should probably just write about the Twins and Cardinals consider they are the site’s teams in a way, but then I’d be hating on Matt so I’ll also wrap up how the Yankees lost, w00t!

Twins 11, Tigers 4
Going into this game I thought the Twins were going to lose.  They’ve been playing like dirt lately and the Tigers have been on somewhat of a roll in June, not to mention Nick Blackburn was starting and he shouldn’t even be in the rotation.   But boy was I wrong!  The …

White Sox 2, Braves 0 – Make it nine wins in a row for the White Sox! Say what?? The team that everyone thought would give up despite it only being June has turned it around and won their ninth straight game. When a team wins a game 2-0, it means they are playing well. Not much more to say about it. Right now the ChiSox are rolling along, but can they make a dent in the standings?
Rays 5, Padres 3 – The Rays salvage one game at home against …

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there! If you’re like me and my dad, then you were following baseball throughout the day. Here are some scores from Father’s Day!
Yankees 4, Mets 0 – It was the father of all homeruns for Mark Teixeira on Sunday in Yankee Stadium, as he hit a grand slam for the only runs of the game. CC Sabathia outdueled Johan Santana, as the Yankees evened out the Subway Series at 3-3.

Twins 4, Phillies 1 – Roy Halladay is having a great year in …

Yankees 5 Mets 3
Despite Jose Reyes’ 2 homers, the Yankees were able to take down the Mets in the 2nd game of the 3 game series.  The Yankees were helped by a pair of longballs themselves by Granderson and Teixeira and Phil Hughes was dominant other than the 2 homers he gave up to Reyes.  Seeing Hughes pitch every 5 day makes my week.  I love watching him throw.  He’s the Yankees 5th starter and he’s 10-1 this year with a 3.17 ERA at only 23 years of age.  A …

There are a TON of interleague games from Wednesday night. So let’s take a quick look at them all!

Phillies 6, Yankees 3 – Like I really need a rematch of last year’s World Series. I don’t like either of these teams, so a rematch in the regular season just annoys me. In this one, the Phillies offense did what the Yankees did last night. And who would think Jamie Moyer would dominate the Yanks a day after Roy Halladay gets shelled? Not this guy.
Braves 6, Rays 2 – This matchup …

Yankees 8, Phillies 3
In a game where CC Sabathia faced off against Roy Halladay, CC got the better of his opponent.  Sabathia improved to 7-3 as Halladay dropped to 8-5.  Halladay g up 6 runs.  A two run triple to Gardner in the 2nd, homers to Granderson and Swisher in the 3rd, and a solo homer to Teixeira in the 5th.  I don’t think anybody would have guessed that Halladay would come into Yankee Stadium and have an outing like this, especially with his history of Yankee dominance.  The Phillies …

Another busy Sunday as each series wraps up. If you haven’t heard about how Stephen Strasburg’s second start went, click here. For a look at the rest of the MLB, look below!

Braves 7, Twins 3
When the Cardinals gave up on Troy Glaus this past offseason and he signed with the Braves, I really thought the Braves were out of their minds. They gave a guy who was previously on steroids and obviously washed up millions of dollars. As it turns out, they were smart to wait for him to catch …

Yankees 9, Astros 3
It isn’t really saying much this season when your team beats Houston but the Yanks put on a show today in the Bronx.  Derek Jeter had 2 homers and Jorge Posada added a grand slam.  Javy Vazquez came out with another solid outing and the Yanks took clinched yet another series at home this year.  The Yanks are 21-7 at home this year.  Some troubling news in NY was that Alex Rodriguez sat out with a groin injury.  Not sure when he’ll be back but the Yanks …
