Sometimes dreams take a little time to develop. Minor league baseball can be a grind, from the lack of pay to the travel, nine years can seem like twenty. However, for one 2011 Colonie High School graduate this weekend, nine years went by in a flash this past weekend and dreams came true.

Sometimes baseball truly is a "Field of Dreams." Every once in a while, an unexpected, and to many an unknown, player comes along and does something great for a team in a clutch situation. Sometimes, that player has an All American dream backstory and at the same time, veteran players don't realize that player is even on their roster. That happened to the New York Mets on Sunday.

Some guys set themself up for a little ribbing when they get caught doing something funny. Former New York Mets pitcher, Noah Syndergaard, aka Thor, is one of those guys. On Sunday, in a brawl between Thor's new team, the Los Angelas Angels and the Seattle Mariners, the 6'6" right-hander did something that has Mets fans and Twitter abuzz!

In the entertainment world, there is something to be said about lovable villains. Austin Power's; Dr. Evil, Star Wars'; Darth Vader, the Batman's; Joker and now the New York Mets; Jesse Winker? Yes, Mets fans have become obsessed with disliking the Buffalo native and he seems to be enjoying it.

Tonight in Seattle, the New York Yankees will see a familiar face take the mound opposite them. That face is 25-year old Justus Sheffield.

One MLB insider reports this trade almost came to fruition this month.

Ichiro Suzuki is on the verge of history and he is being overlooked. The 16-year MLB veteran has played a flashy game that has dazzled fans ever since his rookie season. Though never winning a championship, Ichiro's career is one of mind-blowing statistics, however, none may be bigger and more meaningful than what he is about to accomplish at some point this week...

The New York Yankees finally got back into the win column on Sunday as they defeated the Seattle Mariners 4-3. Alex Rodriguez, who batted 6th in the batting order, had a line-drive home run in the 2nd inning to put the Yankees up early...

Every year during spring training it seems a game is stopped for an odd reason. This time, like many others, it was for a swarm of bees. During the 3rd-inning at Sloan Park in Mesa, Arizona, bees surrounded Chicago Cubs center fielder Jason Heyward, stinging him multiple times, causing a five minute delay of the game...

I have no issue with fun celebrations BUT when the Seattle Mariners Fernando Rodney points his patented arrow shot AT the Angels players when the game isn't even over he has to expect some backlash.

Siena all-time home run leader Dan Paolini joined Brady Farkas for 1045theteam.com on Tuesday morning. Paolini, a 2011 major league draft choice of the Seattle Mariners, is currently in AA with the Jackson Generals, a Mariners affiliate...

Tonight's game against Robison Cano and the Seattle Mariners has been postponed due to inclement weather. Basically it's pouring at the Stadium and not going to stop until some time tomorrow morning. There is no details at this time as to when the game will be made up...
