Rolen, who requested a trade after last season, hit .265... Read Full Story

If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em. Rick Ankiel , a failed pitcher turned heroic outfielder, launched a three-run jack over the right-field wall in his first game back in the big leagues to help the St. Louis Cardinals surge to a 5-0 victory over the San Diego Padres Thursday night.

A teary-eyed La Russa compared Ankiel's... Read Full Story

First, Miles threw high and pulled Albert Pujols off the bag, allowing a run to score. Two... Read Full Story

Saturday night had most of feeling excited, but at the same time saying “how the hell did that happen?’
The Dodgers came out on top Saturday night against the Angels with a score of 1-0. Great right? That wasn’t the weird part. It was how they won.
