In 2009 fantasy baseball, third base is the home of a few surprises at the top of the rankings. Here are the ExpertFantasy third baseman rankings for this fantasy baseball season so far:
1) Evan Longoria, Tampa Bay Rays
Only in his second year, Evan Longoria is quickly making a case for being the best third baseman in all of fantasy baseball. He already has 34 RBI, 21 runs and eight homers on the season.
2) Michael Young, Texas Rangers
Prior to the season, Michael Young didn’t sound too happy about moving over to third base. Now that he’s playing at the hot corner, …read more

Boston Red Sox fans who made the trip south to Tampa Bay haven’t all been treated kindly. As you can see in the video below, a couple Red Sox fans have been tasered.
In the video, it is difficult to see what the Red Sox fans did to get tasered. We’ll assume that it was a justified tasering and not just a Tampa Bay Rays officer showing which team he roots for.
On the field, the Rays tasered the Red Sox by a final score of 9-1 to go up two games to one in the best of seven series. The Rays …read more

Evan Longoria of the Tampa Bay Rays is known as a big-time baseball talent (and that guy whose name sounds like he may be Eva’s twin brother). In the first game of his postseason life, Longoria hit two homers to lead the Rays to a 6-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox.
Longoria finished the game 3-for-3 with a walk, two runs, three RBIs and those two home runs. His homers came in the second and third inning against White Sox pitcher Javier Vazquez.
The pitching star for the Rays, who are in the playoffs for the first time in franchise …read more

AL MVP – Josh Hamilton, Texas Rangers
Ian Kinsler and Milton Bradley are playing very well for the Rangers. However, I believe that it is Hamilton who is the backbone of that team’s lineup. Take him away and the Rangers wouldn’t be nearly as deadly.
NL MVP – Lance Berkman, Houston Astros
Sure, the Astros are a bad team and chances are slim that they will make the playoffs. That said, Berkman is having a career year and is the best hitter in the NL to date this season.
AL Cy Young – Cliff Lee, Cleveland Indians
Mariano Rivera might be having …read more

Corey Hart was participating in a postgame press conference when his Milwaukee Brewers teammates thought it’d be a good idea to surprise Hart with a beer bath. One problem — Hart was carrying his small daughter in his arms. Watch the video below. Hopefully the daughter came out okay!
Why were his teammates happy? Hart was elected to the 2008 National League All-Star roster by an online vote. Evan Longoria of the Tampa Bay Rays was voted to join the 2008 American League roster.
Here is the video of Corey Hart and his daughter getting …read more

No, Evan Longoria isn’t married to Tony Parker. He’s also not planning to be on Desperate Housewives anytime soon, as far as we know. He’s not even related to Eva Longoria. But Evan Longoria, with an N, has already made a name for himself.
With less than ten major league baseball games under his belt, the Tampa Bay Rays decided to lockup their third baseman super prospect to a long-term deal. The contract is said to guarantee Longoria approximately $20 million and could be worth as much as $45 million.
How good is Evan Longoria? Here are …read more
