The Sports Report Girl is back!!!!
Okay, so it's not about the Marlins, but she's getting back in the swing of things.
More to follow!

As the 2nd half gets underway, here's a brief recap of the top moments from the 1st half of the baseball season.

On Deck, ep. 9.... Acta gets the axe, plus a recap of the best moments from the first half of the 2009 baseball season.

So after throwing 3 consecutive 2 out walks with the bases loaded, Hayden Penn has been designated for assignment.
Ouch.
But my question is... why was he left in there for that long?

Anyway, here's my latest episode of On Deck with the Sports Report Girl. I hope you enjoy.

Congratulations Jamie Moyer! The salty veteran has notched his 250th career win. While 300 wins is almost certainly out of the question, his recent milestone begs the question... is Moyer headed for the Hall of Fame?

Two managers have been fired thus far this season, and both came from the NL West. What's more amazing, both those teams met two years ago in the NLCS, and now each is struggling. In Colorado, Clint Hurdle may be gone, but the Rockies should be in good hands with Jim Tracy. As for the Diamondbacks... well, AJ Hinch is no Jim Tracy.

Adrian Gonzalez leads the majors in home runs (currently 22). That said, the Padres have lost 4 of 5... can they get back on track, or is this the beginning of another slide?

Manny may be getting all the attention for his All Star votes, but it's Juan Pierre who's been a true All Star.
Also, the Dodgers and Cubs recently revisited their ancient rivalry.

Though the White Sox may have lost out on Jake Peavy, they sure are enjoying their west coast swing, pounding the Angeles 17-3 on Monday.
Who needs Peavy if you can start scoring runs like that, right?

For you fans of baseball and pretty girls, here's a show that combines the two by recapping the top stories of the week with a tongue in cheek attitude! On Deck with the Sports Report Girl.

After being forced to keep Jake Peavy (for the time being) the Padres find themselves in the possition of maybe wanting to hold onto him after all. San Diego still trails the Dodgers, but catching them doesn't seem like such a long shot now.

With the best road record in baseball, the Phillies are back in thier groove, putting a beat down on the Bronx Bombers over the weekend and looking to win another series tonight!

More news from around the diamond. On Deck with the Sports Report Girl: ep 5.

Wow! A-Rod has been on fire since coming off the DL, and so too have the Yankees. With Toronto fading like we knew they would, this is shaping up to be another great New York/Boston marathon in the AL East.

More struggles from Big Papi sends him sliding down the batting order. How long will Francona be patient with his ice cold DH?

The Wings take an early lead over the Blackhawks, and that bodes well for the Sports Report Girl's prediction of the Wings in six.

After shaving her playoff beard, the Sports Report Girl makes her picks for the Conference Finals.

The Sports Report Girl offers her take on the Conference Finals and makes her picks on who will meet in the Stanley Cup Finals.

A-Rod returns, looking like he never missed a beat. Then again, it is May. But does this mean Joe Girardi is now off the hot seat?

Speaking of David Ortiz's faltering ways, the Sports Report Girl thinks she might know what's ailing him... and his name is Manny Ramirez.

One of the Sports Report Girl's stories this week touches upon the firing of Melvin and hiring of Hinch, and questions what other managers out there are feeling the heat.

This week the Sports Report Girl discusses the Manny situation, life for the Dodgers without him in the NL West, and suggests his departur from Boston may have impacted Big Papi in more ways then just the obvious.

Okay, I knew the Ducks were going to give the Red Wings a run for their money... but this is incredible. Before the series started I thought the Ducks would have an edge early in the series as the Wings may have been a bit rusty... but we're officially in the middle of the series now. Wow!

Round 2 Playoff Show... The Sports Report Girl sees the Canucks going a "Luongo" way in the playoffs!

Despite losing the last 2 games, the Sports Report Girl sticks with her Red Wings pick.

The Sports Report Girl is not only on the Hurricane's bandwagon, she's driving it.

How long is this home streak going to last?

Though the allegations are completely unproven, does it really surprise you to hear A-Rod's name come up again in a controversial fashion?

On the bright side, the Rockies are right around the corner!

Chien-Ming Wang gets put on the 15 day DL... but what happens in 15 days?
