The second-half of the 2012 MLB seasonis officially underway, and my apologies for the rankings being a day late this week.
NYY are best team in baseball still.
The New York Yankees were the best team in baseball before the All-Star Break and they still are as they took the first two games from the red-hot Los Angeles Angels and are looking to sweep tomorrow.
The Rangers are hanging in there but if GM Nolan Ryan doesn’t get them some starting pitching help this team will fall as fast as they rose at the beginning of the season.
The biggest losers this season are the Philadelphia Phillies who have no fight in them, which is not going over well with Philly fans who still fill Citizens Bank hoping for a miracle. Well, there is still time as this team has made a late season run before but it will have to be soon and absolutely enormous.
Now, I am sure all the Yankees haters are loving that the Bombers are once again at the top of my list.
Here are LLP‘s power rankings for week 14 or at ...

It looks like Reggie Jackson has struck out with Alex Rodriguez over the comments he made about the Yankee third baseman in a Sports Illustrated article last week.
A-Rod is still angry over Jackson's remark that Rodriguez's admitted use of steroids should keep him from joining the Yankee legend in the Hall of Fame.
A source told the New York Daily News that Rodriguez is...

Seems like this might be a little insurance in case Brett Gardner cannot make it back.
Not sure how much that insurance will pay off however, because in 24 games (51 plate appearances) with the White Sox earlier this season, he hit just .171/.294/.195. Last year, while better than his pathetic start to this season, he hit .262/.342/.370 with only 8 HR and a measly 35 RBI in over...

July 15, 1973 - Nolan Ryan (California Angels) became the first pitcher in two decades to win two no-hitters in a season.
Exactly 2 months after his 1st ‘No-No’, Ryan did it again versus Detroit. The second showing was a little more dominant than his first no-hitter, with Ryan striking out 17 batters while walking 4 in this 9-inning showcase.

Scary moment at Yankee Stadium on Sunday when Mark Teixeira‘s bat went flying into the stands in the bottom of the first against the Angels. However, fear not, compassionate baseball fans: the lumber managed to avoid hitting anybody.

Curtis Granderson made the catch of the day by robbing fellow center fielder Mike Trout of extra bases on Sunday. Trout launched a 2-1 pitch deep to center field that appeared to be destined for extra bases, as Granderson was shading the Angels top prospect to right center field.
After a long run to track the ball down, Granderson made a stellar catch at the warning track just before...
