That came out of nowhere. All day I was just waiting for it to be official with the Yankees, and suddenly, the Rangers have him.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks like for the 1st time since 1999 the Rangers are going to the playoffs. I like the Rangers though, I knew they were going to be good and they have been and now they finally have an ace

Thank Christ that the Yankees aren't getting him

But the Yankees will get him in FA next year

very true. I'm just happy because it gives the Red Sox a little chance this season to win the East. The Yankees would have EASILY won the World Series if they won Lee, now they just have a 75 % chance of winning

The Phillies pulled a Rockies.

They scored six runs in the ninth to tie it, and won in the 10th with a walk-off home run by Ryan Howard.

well the unofficial first half is over with the all-star game coming up and there are some surprising teams leading

ALE - Yankees
ALC - White Sox
ALW - Rangers
ALWC - Rays

NLE - Braves
NLC - Reds
NLW - Padres
NLWC - Rockies


The White Sox have been unbelievably hot lately
The Rangers were hot at one point and just got Lee
The Braves were kind of expected to be good, but not the best team in the NL
The Reds are a surprise team
The Padres are a huge surprise and have done nearly all of it on pitching
The Rockies almost caught up to the Padres, if they won today they would've been in 1st but I didn't know they were so hot

It's hard to tell if the Padres or Reds can hold on, I feel as if the Cardinals can catch up in the Central and I feel as if the Giants, Dodgers and Rockies can easily catch up to the Padres

The Cubs and Mariners are definably the biggest disappointments

there's a lot to say about the 1st half...

But dang I hope the Red Sox can be healthy soon. once they're healthy they can really compete

Did you hear about Beltre? He strained his hamstring. Man... the amount of injuries you guys are suffering is getting way out of hand...

if he goes on the DL.....

not to mention Pedroia, Martinez, Buchholz and maybe even Beltre will miss the all-star game as well...

HR Derby about to begin ! Who do you guys got?

Go Papi!

I want it to be Cabrera.

Corey Hart had a great 1st round

but so far here in the 2nd round David Ortiz is dominating! right now 9 HR with 4 outs. maybe my man can do it

David Ortiz is HR derby champion!!!!

First ever Red Sox player to do it. Congrats Papi

Time for the all-star game! I love the all-star game even if I hate the voting

Maybe this year the NL will win(the streak hasn't been talked about much so maybe the NL will win

David Price vs Ubaldo Jimenez for starting pitching

And I don't think Mariano Rivera is playing because of injury so it's interesting to see who closes(if we need a closer)

I think Valverde closes.

well the NL's up 3-1 in the 7th on a 3-run double by McCann. McCann is the MVP so far for sure, that was clutch

could this be the day the NL wins?
