Just when I thought the Arizona Diamondbacks couldn’t be any dumber, they go and do something like this…… and totally NOT redeem themselves!

Last season, the Diamondbacks let manager Bob Melvin walk due to an underachieving team and replaced him with AJ Hinch, an unsuccessful catching prospect in his mid-30s. Hinch had no managerial experience prior to this job and the team was craving some discipline. To no surprise, the team did not respond to Hinch and they remained one of the worst teams in the league.
Now its 2010 – has …

The Texas Rangers are arguably the hottest team in baseball of late and they have what I consider a top 5 offense in baseball and it’s going to get better.  They have acquired former Giants-great Bengie Molina in exchange for RP Chris Ray and a player to be named later.  The Rangers haven’t had a good hitting catcher since the Ivan Rodriguez days!  Molina provides a lot of offensive power and the Rangers catchers were hitting about .230 as a unit this year.
The trade allows for Giants prospect Buster Posey …

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 …

Payback can come in many different ways. It could be something that planned, or maybe indirectly felt. But in the case of Edwin Jackson, he decided to gain some payback on his former team straight on and strongly.

Diamondbacks SP Edwin Jackson pitched the fourth no-hitter of the season on Friday night in Tampa Bay against the Rays, a team that traded him away just a couple seasons ago. It is the second no-hitter in D’Backs history (Randy Johnson, perfect game, 2004) and the first of Jackson’s career.

In the ninth inning, …

Good Fredi, Hello Bobby?
The Florida Marlins are making moves – too bad those moves aren’t from the pits of the NL East. On Wednesday, the team dismissed manager Fredi Gonzalez. They replaced him with Edwin Rodriguez, their Triple-A manager. Now, there are rumblings that they are they looking to nab Bobby Valentine to a possible four-year deal.
Fredi Gonzalez DEFINITELY left because he lost control of the team. It all goes back to last season, but it is best exemplified because through this year’s debacle with Hanley Ramirez. When the manager …

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 …

MLB POWER RANKINGS (June 14 – 20)
Biggest jumps from last week: Rangers +4, Reds -9
1. Yankees (43-26) – The Yanks were able to prevent losing the season series to their cross-town rivals with a couple nice wins to wrap up the weekend. That team is so good it’s unfair – and it doesn’t even really bother me.
2. Braves (42-28) – Atlanta slides into the two spot after continuing to pitch and slug. If they can continue this, they could be the class of the NL.
3. Rays (42-27) – The Rays are …
