MLB RUMORS & GOSSIP
INCOGNITO
Jeter uses 'Philip' alias for Starbucks order
I can't quite put my finger on it, but this "Philip" character looks familiar. According to the New York Post, Derek Jeter was spotted leaving a Greenwich Village Starbucks with the name "Philip" on the side. Which means one of three things...the New York Yankees captain is still using a pseudonym when in public (he used to go by "Johnny Drama"...
GLORY OF THE REAL ESTATE

TIP O' THE CAP
Fan catches B.J. Upton homer with his hat
I'm always going to be ridiculously impressed by fans who catch balls with their hat (which always has seemed to be some sort of impossible task for me), and this one in Atlanta yesterday is another fantastic play to add to the ledger. In the bottom of the fourth inning of the Braves' 8-3 win over the Twins, BJ Upton homered to left field against Vance Worley. This fan proceeded...
Can Mike Trout snatch the MVP?
On May 21st, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout became the youngest American League player to hit for the cycle since 1930 at 21 years old.
The second year phenom won AL rookie of the year in 2012 and he also finished second for the league’s MVP award, behind only Miguel Cabrera.
But will Trout be able to dethrone the reigning MVP for the title in 2013?
As of May 22nd...
Michael Bourn assists on Miguel Cabrera home run (Video)
Your browser does not support iframes.
Miguel Cabrera is in search of another Triple Crown with the Detroit Tigers this year, and he certainly doesn’t need any help from his opponents along the way. Cabrera has hit five home runs in his last three games and has 13 on the season. Had it not been for a little assistance from Cleveland Indians center fielder Michael Bourn, his total...
Koji Uehara’s High Five Strikes Down On Shane Victorino With ‘Great Vengeance and Furious Anger’
Koji Uehara pitched a flawless eighth inning on Wednesday night and as he came back into the Red Sox dugout he brought the heat again, but this time with his high fives. The Red Sox players must have seen this type of enthusiasm before because all were prepared except one. Check out how Koji basically slaps an unsuspecting Shane Victorino at the end of his high five tour. Amazing...
12-year-old getting in trouble and being punished because he’s too good
Tanner Beebe reminds me of my 12-year old self. He’s just too talented and too good to play evenly with his peers. Much like young Mr. Beebe, I was never allowed to pitch in Massachusetts Little League baseball. In my case it was because I lived in Virginia when I was 12 but Tanner is being picked on for being, in his own words, “too good.” As first reported by MassLive and...
Time to bench B.J. Upton?
The hot Atlanta Braves are having arguably the best offensive season in the history of the club, and one of the biggest offseason acquisitions this year, is off to his worst start ever. B.J. Upton was considered the crown jewel of the offseason for the Braves and for good reason. He was considered to have more upside than his brother Justin, and was coming off arguably his best offensive...
Derek Jeter uses phony name 'Philip' to get coffee at Starbucks
Being New York's most recognizable sports celebrity didn't stop Derek Jeter from trying the the old phony name ruse to pick up a cup of coffee at a Starbucks Wednesday afternoon.
The Yankee shortstop was spotted yesterday leaving one of the coffee chain’s locations in Greenwich Village with a cup suspiciously marked with the name “Philip,” reports The New York Post...
THAT'S NASTY
Astros vendor spotted with snow cones in stall
This could possibly be one of the most unappetizing videos ever shot and make you think twice about the ice at your local ballpark. An Aramark vendor at Monday’s Royals-Astros game at Minute Maid Park was caught bringing his tray of snow cones into a bathroom stall with him while he did his business on the toilet. The video, taken by a concerned onlooker, was shot Monday...
Nats closer rips Harper after miscue
It's been a rough couple of weeks for Nats' rising star Bryce Harper.
First, there was his embarrassing face-plant into the right-field wall at Dodger Stadium. Harper tried to track down a drive off the bat of A.J. Ellis but failed to remember the important part of the term "warning track."
Take a look for yourself.
OK, so maybe it's wise for him not to do...

HEADS UP!
Uehara catches Victorino off guard
We've all seen how animated Boston Red Sox reliever Koji Uehara can be after a good outing on the mound when he comes into the dugout. But what happens when you're not paying attention to his high-five. Well, if you're Shane Victorino, you get smacked in the face. {mp4remote}http://cdn2013.ianbethune.com/kojismack2.mp4{/mp4remote} MOBILE/TABLET LINK Follow Ian...

Don Mattingly benches Andre Ethier again, says he’s not playing hard enough
Don Mattingly continued to show his disappointment with Andre Ethier by benching the Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder for the team’s 9-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. The benching marked the third time in six games Ethier did not start, though Ethier did appear late in the other two games, unlike Wednesday.
Mattingly is specifically taking issue with Ethier’s effort...
