Absent from the endless discussions about how to improve baseball's All-Star game was the one that would solve all the problems immediately. End it.
An overwhelmingly female jury with little interest in baseball will decide whether ex-Yankees hurler Roger Clemens lied to Congress when he said he never used performance-enhancing drugs.
Hall of Fame second baseman Ryne Sandberg called in this morning to talk with the guys about last night's Midsummer Classic in Phoenix and whether or not Derek Jeter should have been part of the festivities.
Derek Jeter has tarnished himself, says Steve Somers, and he thinks even the most die-hard Yankees fans will agree.
Jerry "Rello" Recco was all over the All-Star game this morning and everything else going on in the world of baseball.
Prince Fielder hit a three-run homer and Roy Halladay and his relief combined on a six-hitter to lead the NL over the AL 5-1 Tuesday night, giving the senior circuit its first two-game winning streak since the mid-1990s.
Hall of Famer and all-time stolen bases leader Ricky Henderson spent a few minutes talking with Joe and Evan about his legendary career as well as Derek Jeter's absence from the All-Star Game.
Roger Clemens' attorney revealed Tuesday that the former Yankees star plans to begin his perjury defense by questioning lawmakers' investigation into the Mitchell Report.
But some of the biggest names in baseball are All-Star no-shows, most notably Yankees captain Derek Jeter, who was well enough to go 5 for 5 and get his 3,000th hit with a dramatic home run on Saturday.
The parallels are uncanny between Christian Lopez, the 23-year-old who returned Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit ball, and Sal Durante, the lucky fan who came away with Roger Maris' record 61st home run ball in 1961. Except for one thing...
The debate rages: Would you have given back Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit ball? Now it turns out that Christian Lopez, who owes more than $100,000 in student loan debt, may now owe 14 grand to the IRS.
Evan Roberts releases his first half MLB power rankings and doles out some first half awards.
Yankees fans need to seriously reflect here. Ask yourselves, do you really enjoy making the playoffs every year?
The managers for Tuesday's All-Star game certainly won't get many complaints for choosing Phillies ace of aces Roy Halladay and Angels star Jered Weaver to start the midsummer classic. But how will Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran and Yankees All-Star starters Robinson Cano and Curtis Granderson fare against the fireballers?
Without Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Alex Rodriguez around, someone had to carry the Yankee Pride at All-Star weekend. Robinson Cano's booming victory in the Home Run Derby fit the bill just fine.
