The Fate Of The Seattle Mariners ; Upcoming Road Trip

As of right now, the Seattle Mariners are a game over .500, 2.5 games behind Texas and LA/Anaheim. They are set to play the Padres and gain more ground.

However, the direction of present and future Mariners lies in what happens the next 10 days.

That's right, the road trip from hell.

Citi Field Critique: Mets New Ballpark Has Fair Share of Good and Bad Traits

Citi Field seems to be a hot topic amongst people living in the Tri-State area these days. This now the third Citi Field critique in our Stadium 411 series.

This Citi Field critique is given by a lover of all animals, a man who has more Cardinal apparel than anyone I know, and a man who got attacked by an old lady at last night’s Met game—she was trying to get to her seat in the row above us and tripped and landed on him, scratching his neck—:Tom Spirakis.

The Cleveland Indians Need to Take Notes On The Team Across The Street, The Cavs

The news in Cleveland has fans going crazy right now!

The Cleveland Cavaliers have just traded for Shaquille O'Neal!

Across the street from Quicken Loans Arena is Progressive Field, and the home of the Cleveland Indians, and there is a completely different story, but one that Indians fans are all too familiar with.

The Indians are in the midst of losing seven out of their last eight games for a record of 30 wins and 43 losses. They are also 11 games out of first place and own the worst record in the American League.

Joel Zumaya's Rough June

This past Tuesday night, I was making my way along on my summer trip and was spending the day in New York City.  I spent the night at CitiField, watching the Mets take on the St. Louis Cardinals.  I was keeping close tabs on the scoreboard in left-centerfield so I knew how the Tigers were doing. 

I saw the Tigers take a late lead and then noticed that they had put Joel Zumaya into the game.  I said to my friend that I wouldn’t be surprised if Zumaya coughed up the lead, since he’s been struggling for most of the month. 

Why the Dodgers Are the Best Team in Baseball

Like many people after Manny Ramirez was suspended for a violation of the Major League Baseball substance abuse policy, I thought the Dodgers were going to go downhill in historic fashion.

That obviously didn't happen.

The Dodgers have the fourth-best batting average (.278) and the best on-base percentage of any team in baseball (.357).

In addition to these fantastic offensive statistics, the Dodgers are leading the majors in ERA (3.64).

Tribe Talk: Indians Finally Firing Wedge, Or Just Shooting Blanks?

Welcome to Tribe Talk, where Bleacher Report's Tribe fans weigh in on the ups and downs of the Indians each week throughout the season.

This week we revisit our past discussion on the fate of manager Eric Wedge, ponder the value of a manager calling out a player in a public forum, and address a few more of the Tribe’s many pitching woes.  

I would like to thank this week's participants Nino Colla, Dave Wiley, and The Coop for their contributions.

We Need To Talk, Phillies: A Message From Citizens Bank Park (Satire)

Hey, guys.  It's me, Citizens Bank.  I was hoping we could have a little chat.

You've been spending a lot of time in other parks lately.  No, no—don't deny it.  It's all over the news, don't embarrass yourself by lying about it.  It just makes this all the more painful.

Now, you know I don't care if you want to play in other stadiums.  In fact, I've come to expect it.  Away games are part of any team's schedule.  But... but do you have to like it so much?

"What do I mean?"  Do you have to ask?!

Yankees Response to Girardi's Ejection Speaks to Team's Disgust With Him

Much credit has been given to Yankees Manager Joe Girardi for his “inspiring and motivating” rant and subsequent ejection on Wednesday night.

 

Girardi was on a mission to not only light a fire under his team, but to also make opposing manager and “ejection extraordinaire” Bobby Cox proud of his tirade.
