Don’t be fooled, Ichiro can certainly hit the long ball too. Ichiro 3-for-4 with two home runs including a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning to propel Seattle over Jon Lester and the Boston Red Sox. Lester suffered his fourth loss of the season (2-4) on...

At what point can the Red Sox wait to address their AL-worst starting corps (or should I say corpse?), second-last in the bigs with a 5.81 ERA? Even the Yankees are faring better with a 5.64 ERA. Yes, Jon Lester has been burned by his defense — but he still has...

Fine Jason Bay, next time I WILL pick you for the Star of the Game. I got the message. The New York Yankees, however, haven’t. In his first at-bat, Bay lifted a three-run jack to left field — his seventh homer this season — against Joba Chamberlain...
