Baseball

If you're a fan of the New York Yankees, the best way to show your allegiance is to wear a Yankees cap.

If you must, you can also boast about the team's 27 world championships. Just don't be surprised when your audience responds by rolling his/her/their eyes.

Maybe these things aren't enough for you. Maybe you don't want people to just see that you're a Yankees fan. Maybe you want people to be able to smell your Yankees fanhood.

Wait, what?

Major League Baseball teams are built on having a great farm system. We have seen what happens when you try to build a team through free agency. The draft is imperative to the success of a franchise, and some teams need to hit big this year. 

That is not to say that there are teams who can just punt their pick, but we all know that some farm systems are in need of a lot of talent right now. 

Here is our latest MLB mock draft, with a special emphasis on the teams who need to hit their pick out of the park. 

The Toronto Blue Jays have just about wrapped up the first month of the baseball season. There have already been ups and downs for several players, however if there was one thing they showed, it is that the game is never over.

May is a pretty big month for the Blue Jays. Teams are just starting to get settled in and this is their chance to live up to the hype and prove that they are a playoff team.

One of the opening weekend highlights of the ongoing TriBeCa Film Festival in New York was Saturday's outdoor screening of the new documentary Knuckleball!, which tells the stories of (to date) the last two professional pitchers to use the dancing, dazzling knuckleball as their primary weapon, Tim Wakefield and R.A. Dickey. 

On Tuesday night in Texas, two natives of Japan will match up when the Yankees’ Hiroki Kuroda takes the mound against the Rangers’ Yu Darvish.

New York Yankees prospect Jose Campos had been nearly unhittable in his three starts prior to Sunday's start against West Virginia.

Campos did not factor in the decision—the River Dogs came back from a 3-0 deficit in the bottom of the ninth—but he still pitched very well.

In six innings of work, Campos allowed two runs on eight hits and one walk. He struck out five.

Sixty-one of his 88 pitches went for strikes.

After tonight's game against the Cleveland Indians, the Oakland Athletics will be 16 games into the season, putting Oakland only 34 games away from Manny Ramirez's return to Major League Baseball.

On the heels of an utterly humiliating loss at home to the New York Yankees, the Boston Red Sox find themselves in the middle of a trade with the Chicago Cubs.

So, while Theo Epstein may not have been involved in the 100 year anniversary of Fenway Park, his name is linked to the team on this historic weekend.

It was 9-0 in the fifth inning.

Everything was looking in favor of the Red Sox on Saturday after they had chased Freddy Garcia in the second inning and forced Joe Girardi to go to the bullpen.

The "it was" phrase is a common phrase uttered a lot in Boston.

Like, it was 3-2 in the 1986 World Series. And it was 5-2 in the eighth inning of the 2003 ALCS.

On Saturday, it was 9-0 Red Sox heading into the sixth inning.

As I'm sure most of you know at this point, Chicago White Sox pitcher Philip Humber tossed the 21st perfect game in major league history.

Humber was absolutely masterful in Saturday's 4-0 win against the Seattle Mariners, striking out nine and throwing just 96 pitches.
