Classic moment at the Home Run Derby introductions tonight. Chase Utley was the second player introduced by Chris Berman of ESPN, following Dan Uggla. I couldn't really hear the crowd noise too clearly, but they must have been booing because it produced a pretty clear response from Utley. Let's   more...

In 2002 I was part of the package the Indians received in exchange for Bartolo Colon.My name is Grady   more...

You're gonna need something to get you through Joe Morgan and Chris Berman tonight. From Bermanisms to Landmarks to Erin Andrews and Alyssa Milano.

The first half of the 2008 Major League Baseball season has been full of surprises, from the Tigers to the Rays to the Padres to the Braves. Most surprising of all, at least to the Phillies faithful, is that at the All Star break the Phillies were in first place atop the National League East. The   more...

This one surprised me, I was expecting to see either Atlanta's 3B Chipper Jones* or CF Josh Hamilton** of the Rangers on top of this list, but instead, we find Houston's 1B Lance Berkman** just edging out Hamilton. In fact, Jones doesn't even make this top 20 list as he has begun to come down to   more...
