Everybody loves a good comeback and this year, as with every year in the big leagues, there are always a few players who come back to re-emerge on the scene. Players like Chris Carpenter and Mike Lowell are some of the players in the past few years who have returned to prominence after many left […]
Though the Mariners are still without a big bat in their lineup and Cliff Lee has yet to pitch a game, AL teams shouldn’t count them out. After getting off to a very slow start, opening the season 2-6, the Mariners rebounded nicely and as of April 21st were 8-7 with Lee set to return […]

For some reason a beer and a hot dog just taste better at the ballpark. Arlington has the Texas Rangers and Houston has the Astros, but Austin has its own baseball team just up the road in Round Rock. The Round Rock Express may be a minor league team, but they’ve got big league appeal. […]
