New York Mets Shortstop Jordany Valdespin Will Get His Historic Home Run Ball Back: Fan’s View (Yahoo! Contributor Network)
The only bad news that came from Jordany Valdespin's game-deciding, pinch hit three-run homer on May 7 in the top of the ninth inning off Philadelphia Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon, was the fact that the young shortstop wouldn't have a chance to put the ball from his first big league hit onto his mantle.

Philadelphia Phillies Pitcher Roy Halladay Facing Some Early Season Challenges: Fan’s Take (Yahoo! Contributor Network)
Reaching a conclusion about Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay, based solely on a recent game against the Atlanta Braves where he surrendered eight runs, would be foolish. It would also be an overreaction to be concerned about his inability to protect the lead in Monday's game against the New York Mets.

San Francisco Giants’ Angel Pagan Quietly Assembles 18-Game Hitting Streak: Fan Reaction (Yahoo! Contributor Network)
When the San Francisco Giants traded away Ramon Ramirez and Andres Torres to the New York Mets in exchange for Angel Pagan, I will admit that I was a bit amiss about the whole situation. We took a player in Torres, who we weren't going to tender a contract to, and packaged him with one of our better relievers in Ramirez and traded them for Pagan - a player very similar to Torres in my mind. It simply didn't make sense to me at the time. I felt as if both Torres and Pagan had had their career years in 2010 and wouldn't be very useful from then on.
