Boy Wonder?: Bryce Harper Misses Pop Up
In what turned out to be a lackluster All-Star Game, the moment of the game may have been a mental lapse by one of the league's brightest young stars.
Mike Napoli hits a lazy flyball to left and it should be an easy play for Harper, right?
Wrong.
Harper loses sight of the ball and Napoli and David Ortiz end up at second and third with one out.
I know this is just an...

(Fowl Line News Exclusive) The cat's out of the bag, the Curse of the Upton upended Justin Verlander the other night who got shellacked by National League swatters after the plucky Detroiter All Star spent the previous night with uber-bombshell and bikini ambassadress Kate Upton.

Houston Astros Selling Tickets To Eat Lunch With Dead Player
The Houston Astros can't seem to do anything right.
On the official Facebook page for the Houston Astros, the team is advertising their Legends Weekend and a chance to buy tickets to a luncheon with former 'Stros Jose Cruz and Joe Niekro.
Sounds good, right?
One problem, however. Joe Niekro has been dead for almost six years.
The knuckleballer for Houston died in...
The Double League Disproportion
Four. It’s the number of World Series the American League has won in the last decade. It’s hardly a number that symbolizes a National League dominance overall in those 10 years (and how could it since the AL All-Stars have beaten the NL seven out of the last 10 years?), but it does suggest there’s a difference in the last bits of the season. It represents the National League...
