It seems that Ryan Zimmerman has become a lucky mascot for the Washington Nationals. Since his inclusion in the team, the Nationals have managed to win all four games and all six since he started batting at eighth slot.

Just two more wins and the Nationals will have reached a .500 record this late in the year for the first time since that inaugural season.

Well, the scene was not the same most games during April and May as the team struggled to score even four runs, added Manager Jim Riggleman, “We had no chance earlier in the year”.

Rangers’ Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Twins at Target Field really upset many in Washington and in the list was also the Texas Rangers Manager Ron Washington, who was majorly upset with the poor performance Andrus, who ended up with two major errors in the game. Shortstop Elvis Andrus wasn't also happy with two plays that he didn't make in the seventh inning of 6-1 loss under which the two errors that he ended up with were: he's batting .275 so far this season, seven points above his career average. He's hit three homers and driven in 28 runs.

Tour of California considered as the biggest race in the US has been moved to May from February due to better weather in May.

For so many years the TOC was scheduled in February but now it has been moved to May to make better use of the high mountains of California for the race and thus get the cool factor required to make it stick.

After so many alterations, the TOC is still looking place under the sun. The event is hoping to be a great success in California and American sports worlds.

For the first time ever, the Amgen Tour of California had to cancel one of its legs due to the snowy weather. Now, the race will only last seven legs instead of the originally planned eight. This will cut the race by 118.7 miles, from the original 763.8 to 645.1.
