Welcome to an up close and personal, first look at the movie "Major League Baseball: Wild, Wild, West", starring umpire Joe West.

First released in Boston, Massachusetts back in April, the movie has since premiered in Chicago, and has finally been released nationwide.

Since the release, MLB fans have recognized it's time to send West packing into the sunset, and for him to leave the game of baseball.

By no means, would this be a picture perfect ending to a long and controversial career, but this goodbye would be well deserved.

Jamie Moyer is still an effective major league pitcher.

And it’s still perfectly clear that National League lineups aren’t even close to catching up to the 47-year-old craftsman.

But over Moyer’s past three starts, it seems that the law of averages certainly has...

With the MLB Rule 4 First Year Player Draft coming on June 7, my content manager and I thought it would be wise to give you the ten biggest draft busts in the past 25 years.

There have been numerous first overall picks who have gone on to have stellar major league careers since 1985.

You may recall Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr., Chipper Jones and most recently, Joe Mauer winning major league MVP awards. Also, they were all number one picks in the draft.

With the number one pick, you are looking for the closest to a lock you can get, but sometimes the players just don't pan out.

The San Diego Padres are not only in first place in the National League West at 31-20, but they also have the best record in the National League by a full game over the Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals.

It's not exactly where most people and experts thought they would be at this point in the season. Yet, the Padres have gone from potential cellar dwellers and "sellers" at the trade deadline to buyers and possibly being able to take on salary above their $38 million payroll.

I made a promise to myself before the baseball season started that I would attend Stephen Strasburg’s major league where ever it was. Of course I was betting on the fact that there was a 99.9 percent chance that Strasburg would make his debut at home, so a trip from New York to DC was no big deal.

So when Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo announced that Strasburg will make his major league debut on June 8, I immediately got excited. That is until I checked my calendar.

It is a no-brainer that Stephen Strasburg is at the top of minor league prospects in 2010. He is scheduled to make his major league debut next week for the Nationals.

Strasburg has posted a combined record of 6-2 with a 1.43 ERA in 10 starts, with five in AA and five in AAA.

He has struck out 60 and walked 12 in 50 minor league innings and has allowed only one home run. He also has posted an amazing 0.79 WHIP.

The 2007 first year player draft was very pitcher-heavy, but with the exception of the No. 1 overall selection, some of the biggest names to come out of it were actually position players.

A total of 18 pitchers were called in the first round alone, led by Vanderbilt graduate David Price, but there was good overall depth in the draft, especially through the first three rounds.

How many GMs do you think are out there right now still kicking themselves that Jason Heyward fell to No. 14?

Here’s a look at the unheralded players who played well yesterday.

So far 2010 has been filled with drama.

Teams go from boiling hot to freezing cold in an instant. Stars have been struggling more than ever.

Who would have thought Memorial Day weekend would leave so many marks this season?

Here are three 2010 Memorial Day Weekend shockers:
