Red Sox southpaw Jon Lester pitched 5.2 shutout innings this evening, but his bullpen allowed two runs in the seventh inning and another in the eighth as the visiting Baltimore Orioles tied the game, thereby leaving the lefty with only a no-decision to show for his efforts.

Welcome to Colorado. Opening Day on April 9 was absolutely perfect, 70 degrees and sunny, with all of the signs of spring in the air.

He blamed the coaching staff, the media and the fans for an unprecedented level of expectations and pressure. “I never hit more than 22 homers in my career and all of a sudden I get to Chicago and they expect me ...

Early season slumps are starting to become more concerning by the day.  Teams that have a group of these players need to start taking action until things fall back into place.  Using Yahoo!'s owned percentage, let's take a look at some players that might be available for a quick fix.   Under 50 Percent Kelly Johnson, 2B - Johnson hasn't hit a home run since April 11th, but he's not a big power ...

Greetings from the Bally’s Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Since I am on a business trip and my time is limited, I thought I would group a couple of posts into one. By the way, if you want to feel better about yourself, just walk around in the Bally’s casino at around 8 o'clock in the morning. It’s not a pretty place. Let’s see what is going on around the ...
