It’s cool to see a Battle of Pennsylvania game matter besides Penguins/Flyers or Steelers/Eagles for a change, isn’t it?

The Milwaukee Brewers need to get hot in a hurry. The competition has become too fierce in the National League Central to allow for a slump.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are hardly relevant in the National League West race at this point of the year but, hey, it’s Clayton Kershaw versus Tim Lincecum.

Roy Halladay isn’t indestructible after all. Who knew? The Philadelphia Phillies ace left his start against the Chicago Cubs Monday with heat exhaustion.
While plenty of teams were happy to get a rest for the All-Star break, the Red Sox may not have been one of them.
