When the name "Dr. James Andrews" is mentioned, you know it's a serious injury.  That's the case for Texas Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish who is seeking Dr. Andrews' opinion after suffering from discomfort when an MRI revealed partially torn ligaments and inflammation in his pitching elbow.

If you were to ask the infamous post-Super Bowl win question "Hey, Russell Wilson, you and the Seahawks just won the Super Bowl! What are you going to do now?" you'd think the answer would be "I'm going to Disney World!" right? Wrong. This QB has other plans this spring.

The blockbuster deal between Tigers-Rangers on Wednesday night with Prince Fielder getting dealt for Ian Kinsler was a surprise amongst Major League Baseball. Now, David Schoenfield of ESPN.com says don't be surprised if the Rangers go after Robinson Cano...

Brett Gardner isn't Willie Mays or Mickey Mantle, but he has played some solid baseball for the Yankees in 2013, especially out in center field.  Check these two plays out on July 23 in Texas, saving the Yanks' bacon: He robbed the Rangers' Elvis Andrus in the eighth inning of the game with a great diving catch...

There is no doubt the New York Yankees' offense is horrendous.  Against good pitching and good teams?  Why play the games?

Don't worry if you are 1 of those on guard 24 hours a day for alleged or real racist or gay slurs. This time the former Atlanta Braves closer, and a few other clubs, opened his mouth about steroids and how the game was better with the players juicing and cheating...

The Yankees and Orioles will play three at one of baseball's best ballparks, Camden Yards, over the weekend.  New York comes off a series loss in which it lost two of three to Texas.  Baltimore comes off a four-game series split with Cleveland. Here is a Yanks-Birds series preview.

It was a rubber-match game and anything can happen in rubber-match games.  Hell, anything can happen in baseball, right John Sterling?  Including a very good pitching performance.  Or, a very good pitching performance and an excellent one.

Cheating and lying in Texas while using performance enhancing drugs while playing on the richest contract in baseball history.  Cheating and lying through steroid use and coming out and admitting it, while causing a circus in New York and using teammates as pawns, only to in the end try and look like the innocent and sad sorry guy who would change his baseball and personal life if we all forgave h

No one will ever forget the postseason wins, the bulldog mentality, the cap set down just above the eyebrows as the cutter dives in on righties and away from lefties.  No one will forget saving the bacon in the Bronx time after time after time, nor will they forget outdueling John Smoltz in the 1996 World Series.

Tim Lincecum.  Remember him?  He won two CY Young awards back-to-back in 2008 and 2009 at age 24 and 25.  Now he can barely stay in the Giants' rotation.  Phil Hughes?  Bust at age 28.  Ivan Nova won 16 games in 2011 and hasn't been heard from since.  Ricky Romero was supposed to be the ace of the Blue Jays in 2009 and beyond.  Injuries and confidence have caused him to be a below average pitcher.

Back in 2010, the Yankees failed to get Cliff Lee because minor league infielder David Adams didn't pass a physical due to a bum ankle and so the trade never happened with Seattle and Lee went to Texas instead and helped the Rangers win the pennant.  Lee, at that time, was the surest pitcher in baseball.  He isn't that now, at the age of 34, but the Yankees should still go get him.
