When the Seattle Mariners signed Ken Griffey Jr., I was hoping for at least a 20 HR, 85 RBI season. I felt if the Mariners used him as their everyday DH, he could produce moderate power, something the Mariners have not had since Edgar Martinez left.

It’s time for Major League Baseball to step in and do something to help the pitiful Pittsburgh Pirates. Their claim of being too small a market to compete also spreads to to the front office, where it’s apparent that their baseball minds are too small for the major league arena as well.

On Wednesday, the Pirates traded their best player, Nate McLouth, to the Atlanta Braves for three prospects.

Every team must have them.

The San Francisco Giants cannot be the only goliath that suffers such a frustrating curse.

If your favorite franchise falls victim to one, then you already know where I'm heading.  If not (damn you) I'll explain: A Dr. Journeyman/Mr. All-Star is a phenomenon where an otherwise nondescript athlete sees the object of your affection coming and it changes him/her.

Said individual is transformed into a beast, leaving nothing but destruction and losses in its wake.

Future Hall of Famer Tom Glavine was released by the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday.

Of all the events that took place in the 2007 ALDS, the one that stands out the most was the attack of the midges during the final innings of the game. 

For anyone who watched, it was one of the most unbelievable things ever to happen during a baseball game. 

All of a sudden, it looked like snow was falling from the sky. The game took place in Cleveland during October, but the temperature was unseasonably warm, so needless to say there was no snow in the forecast. 

Coming off a tough loss to the Cleveland Indians yesterday afternoon, the New York Yankees rebounded to beat the Tribe on Monday night by a score of 5-2.

The game was tied at 1-1 in the top of the seventh, but the Bronx Bombers took the lead with four runs in the inning.

It’s no secret that the St. Louis Cardinals’ bats have been ice-cold lately.

Stellar pitching has kept them on the heels of the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central standings, but with recent injuries to both the pitching staff and lineup, they will most certainly need to find a more balanced attack to win on a consistent basis.

They may be getting the timing right, though, with an eight-game homestand starting tonight. 2008 All-Star outfielder Ryan Ludwick will be taking the night off after testing out his body in the San Francisco series.

It's finally June, and as of me writing this, the first day of a three-month span when baseball shall rule supreme.

Sure, the NBA Finals are going to kick into gear here in a few days (go Magic by the way) and there are at most five hockey games left. But it's the stage for baseball at this point in time.

The boys of summer are ready to go and before we know it, the All-Star break will be here and oh my, the season will be more than two months old.

As we say farewell to the month of May, the Chicago Cubs find themselves in fourth place in the National League Central Division.  Chasing the Brewers, Cardinals, and Reds won't be easy for the Cubs, but the veteran-laden and two-time defending N.L. Central champs appear to have nowhere to go but up.

The Cubs' season so far has been filled with injuries, suspensions, blowouts, nail-biters, missed opportunities, unknown players filling roster spots, and a partridge in a pear tree.
