Fit For A King
Times are tough for the Mariners. Again. But at least Felix Hernandez is giving the fans in the King's Court reasons to cheer.
Dodgers Thinking Revenge?
Will the Dodgers retaliate against the Padres for Zack Greinke's injury? Don't rule it out. Baseball players are a remorseless, vengeful lot, and they have long memories.
