Episode 7 of The Hot Corner is dedicated to the 2010 MLB All-Star game taking place in Anaheim today and tommorow. The State Farm Home Run Derby takes place tonight as mentioned in the show at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN or Rogers Sportsnet in Canada. I predict that Miguel Cabrera will take home tonights championship as he has been hitting the ball a ton lately. As for the All-Star game tommorow night, I think the American League has the advantage, offensively at least. Also in this episode we talk about the big trade that happened this past week in the Majors. Unfortunately, we could not reach Regis and Kelly for an interview! However, please stay tuned to this website and The Hot Corner over the next two days as special guest columnist, Patrick McKenna will give the American League (Tuesday) and the National League (Wednesday), their report cards as we’ve reached the mid-way point of the season. Finnaly, if you haven’t already done so, check out Patrick’s special report card on Canada’s team, The Toronto Blue Jays, right here.

Enjoy the show!

The dog days of summer days are finally upon us: school is finally out, the beautiful beach weather is here, and the boys of summer are in full swing. The first half of the 2010 MLB season has brought us many great storylines including perfect games, no-hitters, some surprising teams, and the emergence of some great young players. With the All-Star game marking the mid-way point of this 2010 MLB season, we take a look back at the first half of the season and evaluate each team to this point. In the first part of this three part series, we take an in-depth look at the Toronto Blue Jays so far this season.

Look at the reaction of this fan after Ichiro makes conctact with her during a Seattle Mariners home game on Thursday night.  The Mariners made big headlines yesterday in the Majors when they dealt pitcher Cliff Lee.  For all the information on that trade, tune in on Monday, July 12th when we publish our 7th [...]

The Final Vote winners for the 2010 MLB All-Star game were announced yesterday and one of the winners was the expected winner while the AL winner had a hard fought voting battle with the runner up. The NL final vote player was Canadian Joey Votto of the Cincinatti Reds. Most people, along with myself believe [...]

The 2010 Major League Baseball season has been one where pitchers have stepped up their game, and it is quite noticeable. This year there have been two perfect games, while also two no-hitters, and finally one performance by Armando Galarraga that came within one out of a perfect game (ataboy Jim Joyce!).  In typical Major [...]

What an unbelievable catch by Arizona Diamondbacks left fielder Cole Gillespie, as he robs Aramis Ramirez of extra bases in the Diamondbacks 9-5 loss to the Cubs.  To view the video, click here.

The All-Star rosters were released yesterday.  Not a whole lot of surprises in the rosters although I can’t believe why Canadian Joey Votto was left off the National League roster.  Votto is having a heck of a year this year hitting .312 with 19 Home Runs and 57 RBI’s.  You do have a chance to [...]

This week in Major League Baseball saw the Arizona Diamondbacks clear house, firing their General Manager along with their Manager, the Florida Marlins make a decision as to who will manage the team for the remainder of the season, as well as all you Boston Red Sox injury news in the Injury Report. Thanks for listening and Happy Independance Day to all of our American listeners. Wait! Can’t forget! Happy 53rd Dad!

This picture was taken on June 18th by myself, as SportsSuperStation was in attendance for the Toronto Blue Jays game against the San Fransisco Giants.  Barry Zito carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning for the Giants before Edwin Encarnacion had a 2 RBI single.  The Jays went on to win that game 3-2. Great [...]

In this picture, Erik Bedard of Navan, Canada, pitches during a rehab assignment start in Tacoma. This will be Bedard’s last rehab start as it appeares he is ready to come back up to the Major Leagues. Bedard last pitched in the Major Leagues on July 15th, 2009 when he injured his shoulder in that game and that injury required surgery. Sources tell SportsSuperStation that Bedard will make his season debut against Kansas City on Tuesday, July 6th. One reporter asked Bedard about Canada Day and what he would be doing to celebrate. He responded with: “If I was at home, I would be drinking beer.” That’s a true Canadian for you!
