The Royals Need A Rival
Just over 30 years ago the Kansas City Royals were embroiled in one of the best rivalries in baseball with the hated Yankees. It had everything a great rivalry needs; success on both sides, regular and postseason match ups, incredible stories, fights, and most importantly a general disdain for the other team. The Yankees got the better of the Royals during the rivalry, but you could...

Los Angeles Angels Are The New Philadelphia Eagles Of The MLB
As seen with the Philadelphia Eagles, having the label as a “dream team” is not always as good as it may seem. With the Angels recent acquisitions of Albert Pujols and CJ Wilson, they are working their way towards that label. They already have a strong foundation of players and an above average manager in Mike Scioscia. Adding arguably the best hitter in the game and a solid...

AL Cy Young in the bag for Tigers' Verlander
If you had to point to one game that separated Justin Verlander from the rest of the American League Cy Young contenders, look no further than July 31.
That day, Verlander squared off against Los Angeles Angels ace Jered Weaver, younger brother of former Tigers' first-round draft pick Jeff Weaver.
Weaver came into the game with a better ERA than Verlander, and the two were considered...

World Series Prediction: St Louis Cardinals
Aside from receiving a premature birthday wish from the Hooters email club - (Hey Girl) - I am extremely excited for the 107th World Series featuring the St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers. The Cardinals are my local flavor from another life several years ago. I happened to be present for their Game 5 win over the Detroit Tigers in 2006 that secured a party in downtown St...

Now I know what its like to be a Yankee fan. High payroll, high expectations, everyone rooting for you to fail. It doesn’t seem right.
Everything feels different now. In 2007 we made a historic comeback to capture our first division in years and it seems everyone was behind us. In 2008 the feeling was the same as we ran through the playoffs in route to the ultimate prize. We weren’t...

New York Yankees Turn Back the Clock
Who remembers the good ole days? The days when the New York Yankees had very poor pitching for a team that expected to win the World Series every year, yet still managed to flirt with 100 wins? The mid-2000′s. The days when the New York Yankees were trotting out the likes of Randy Johnson, Aaron Small, Kevin Brown, Jeff Weaver, Javier Vazquez (the first time), Mike Mussina...

The Los Angeles Angels bullpen extended its scoreless streak to 25 1-3 innings Friday and the Angels held on to beat the Chicago White Sox 4-3 in the series opener. Fernando Rodney worked out of trouble with two on and one out in the eighth and Jordan Walden worked a perfect ninth to preserve the win for Jeff Weaver, the first in the majors to reach four wins.

Paying respect to Mike Sweeney and his mighty temper (Video)
Mike Sweeney was the type of player who was always regarded as one of the nicest guys; a great clubhouse guy who was always genuine with his teammates. But if anyone tried to double cross him, they quickly learned that the big fella had quite the temper — just ask Jeff Weaver or the entire 2010 Seattle Mariners team.
To honor the once prolific slugger, we decided that it would...

The Dodgers are considering Jeff Weaver, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com (Twitter link). GM Ned Colletti signed Weaver to a minor league deal worth $800K plus incentives last February, so the right-hander has experience signing late.

2011 American League West Pitching Preview: Jered Weaver & The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Last season, the Angels lost their normal perch atop the AL West and their annual trip to the postseason; things really don’t look too much better this season. The rest of the AL either caught up or passed the Angels over the last year, and I’m not sure the addition of Vernon Wells is going to be enough to overcome the slide. True, Kendry Morales will hopefully be fully...
