According to a tweet from ESPN sports business reporter Darren Rovell, Major League Baseball may be preparing to attempt to ban Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun from baseball for life.

Don't look now, but Josh Hamilton and the Los Angeles Angels are kind of hot at the moment.

Actually, my bad. Please do look now, because this is something that we have to talk about.

The Angels have played 25 games since June 12. They've won 17 of those, which is a .680 winning percentage. And that's a nice number for them to look at, because their winning percentage in their previous 65 games was .415.

As the July 31 MLB trade deadline inches closer, the St. Louis Cardinals will have a few decisions to make to improve the best team in baseball at the time of writing.

When Manny Ramirez signed a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers earlier this week it didn't seem as though he could offer much help to the team as a 41-year-old.

That might not be the case.

If the fans don't vote Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig into the 2013 All-Star Game it will be a great disservice to the July 16 exhibition. 

The 22-year-old dynamo wasn't named to the initial rosters for the game in New York. But he is included in the list of National League players that fans can vote in, per the MLB's Twitter. 

Major League Baseball appears to be nearing a conclusion in its quest to suspend New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez and Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun for their connection to the Biogenesis Clinic. 

Dear Mr. Amaro Jr.,

First off, congratulations!

If you do happen by Marlins Park this weekend, be careful as to not get the desperation all over you. 

Derek Jeter has been able to do nothing but watch this year, and what he's seen hasn't been pretty.

The world of sports is littered with sad stories of failure—failure that has come as a result of a myriad of issues.
