The 2011 Pittsburgh Pirates For Dummies

5 Most Stunning Post All-Star Game Collapses
Thank God for the All-Star game. Without it, what would baseball use to track mid-season trends, stats, and standings? Without the All-Star game, we would be forced to say things like “at the halfway point,” or “midway through the season.” That would seriously be hell on Earth.

The Stat Line Of The Night — 6/28/11 — Cliff Lee
Most Major League pitchers will not record three complete-game shutouts throughout the course of an entire season.
