MLB POWER RANKINGS – FIRST HALF (July 5 – 11)
1. Yankees (56-32) – Umm, east coast teams aren’t supposed to go out west and win 5 of 6 games; it’s just not supposed to work that way.
2. Braves (52-36) – I know the Rays have a better record, but what the Braves have done in the first half cannot go unlooked. This team has learned how to win, home or away – and I’m impressed.
3. Rays (54-34) – If it wasn’t for the Yankees the Rays would have the best …

Cliff Lee: Rumors, Trade, Debut – In That Order

After much speculation, Cliff Lee was finally traded – to the Rangers. Many people thought on Friday that the Yankees were the front-runners for picking up the prized former Cy Young winner, but the Rangers came in and gave the Mariners what the desired, which was a young hitter (Smoak). So instead, the Yankees will have to settle for picking up Lee in the offseason, when he becomes a free agent. Nevertheless, he’s a Ranger right now, and they hope that will …

Let me just preface this article by saying this article may have a sense of biasness in it, but I just can’t help myself.

The latest buzz around Major League Baseball is Cliff Lee is on his way out of Seattle.  Lee and King Felix make a leathal 1-2, better yet 1-1, combo in baseball but the Mariners are still 34-49.  Teams like the Yankees, Red Sox and Phillies seem to be the big buyers in baseball but teams like the Twins and Rays seem to be interested in well.  Obviously anyone …

MLB POWER RANKINGS (June 28 – July 4)
1. Yankees (50-31) – The Yankees will remain number one for a while because of games like this past Sunday. They essentially won because a guy lost a ball in the sun allowing two runs to score (including the hitter).
2. Braves (48-34) – All I can think about is earlier in the season when Atlanta was terrible. What if they were decent? They could be running away with this division!
3. Red Sox (49-33) – Somehow this team is overcoming injury after injury and continue …

America, it’s your time! It’s time for you to express your opinion in the Final Vote! Ok, ok, it’s not that big of a deal, but this is definitely more exciting than picking the starters of the All-Star Game. After 33 players were picked for each league, we are down to five remaining choices with only one winner for each league. Voting has already started and ends on Thursday 7/8 at 4pm EST. Since this is really the only thing fans should be voting for, then I’ll say that if …

Ok, it’s not even funny anymore. When it comes down to it, the American League just has better players, and seemingly they have better teams. Does that mean they win every single World Series? No, but it does mean they practically win every single All-Star Game. Just so you know, it’s been 13 straight All-Star wins for the AL going into the 2010 ASG in Anaheim. Since the AL has the best teams, I’m sure they would like to have some home field advantage, that’s for sure. Who will be …

It’s been quite a while since the National League has come out on top during the All-Star Game. In fact, it’s been 13 years since they were able to beat their American League counterparts. Not even the incentive of home field advantage in the World Series has been able to pull the NL ahead. So who are the guys that are going to be looking to snap the skid and get some pride back to the National League? The leading vote getter for the National League is Cardinals first baseman …
