The Hot Corner – Season 2 Episode 8

In this week’s edition of The Hot Corner podcast, we talk mostly about the All-Star game that was just last week. Also featured in the episode is the death of Yankees legend and Owner of the team since 1973, “The Boss” George Steinbrenner. Rest in Peace George. Did I mention the Blue Jays made a trade this week? They swapped shortstops with the Atlanta Braves, but you will have to listen to the episode to find out more about that trade. The trade seems to be working out so far for the Jays as you see in the video below (I will send you a link for the video). Congrads to Yunel for the Jays first grand slam of the season. more »

The Hot Corner Blog- The Drought is Over

I know this may be a little late, but here are my thoughts after watching the 2010 All-Star Game in Anaheim:
The National League can breathe a sigh of relief. Their drought of not posting a win at the Mid Summer Classic is over with their 3-1 win over the American League on Tuesday night. That win ended a 13 game losing streak for the National League against the American League, the last win was posted in 1996. more »

The Hot Corner- Season 2 Episode 7

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.
