Published on: 14th July, 2010
Ubaldo Jimenez is halfway to 30 wins. Miguel Cabrera is poised to make a serious run at the Triple Crown. No-hitters are being pitched at a near-record pace.

George Steinbrenner's $8.7 million investment in the 1970s paid off well. Steinbrenner died early Tuesday at the age ...25th Home Run Derby had far more dingers than memorable moments

Published on: 10th July, 2010
With the All-Star break approaching, baseball's races for individual glory are as tight as the pennant races. About all that is certain is that 2009's big winners -- Albert Pujols, Joe Mauer, Tim Lincecum and Zack Greinke -- will need stronger showings in the second half to have a chance ...Padres pitchers, Votto among biggest All-Star snubs
Published on: 4th July, 2010
The All-Star rosters are out. Let the griping begin. There is plenty to gripe about, too: An ERA of 2.62 and a WHIP of 0.96 aren't enough to make the Padres' Mat Latos an All-Star. 1. Not a single pitcher from the Padres makes the team. This could not have been what ...Inside the ballot: My AL All-Star team

Published on: 30th June, 2010
Among first-half surprises, the Padres' rise, the Cubs' collapse, Jose Bautista's slugging and now-retired Ken Griffey Jr.'s non-slugging top the list. But don't forget the Mets. After a troubled offseason that seemed to put their general manager and manager on the firing line before the season opener, many figured the club ...Three strikes: Padres, All-Star starters and streaks
