Phil Rogers' MLB power rankings
Last week's ranking in parentheses 1. Rangers (1): It's safe to say that Ron Washington's hitters enjoyed their weekend in Houston — 24 runs overall and three homers in every game. Their assault on Philip Humber Saturday was vicious. 2....

Buy Dodgers? It's food for thought
I'm considering buying the Dodgers. New ownership seems wise at this point, though I will confess that my judgment may be impaired after wolfing down four Dodger Dogs the other night. Sodium poisoning soon set in, and then there was this 2-year-old...

Success runs throughout Cardinals organization
Almost 10 years. That's how long it has been since the Cubs beat the Cardinals in a series that mattered, not that St. Louis fans would remember it. When Dusty Baker's 2003 team took four out of five from the Cardinals in a four-day September war that...

It's time for more instant replay — for World Series
Bad calls didn't put the Yankees in 2-0 hole; the pitching of all Tigers not named Jose Valverde did. Nor did that bad infield fly rule call send the Braves home after one game; three infield errors did. Yet you won't be able to tell the story of the...

All-Star Game 'counts' only if you're counting stupid
