This March, I spent $4 on Milton Bradley in our fantasy baseball auction. He has rewarded my faith with a .439 OBP, .605 SLG, 17 home runs, 52 runs scored.
I don't mind the defending World Series manager favoring his own players in marginal cases, but seriously, Jason Varitek? What a disgrace. I mean, he was a fine player for.
Interesting discussion about Omar Vizquel here. Some thoughts on the two questions:On the Hall of Fame issue, the conclusion of the more analytical observers seems right to me. I hate to say that -- he's been a favorite of mine since I saw him in...
I saw my first ever Mets/Yankees game yesterday, and it certainly sucked although my section didn't have the fights that apparently happened in other sections. Especially with the effect of.

Nixonland has enough writing about arson to satisfy me without having to watch the Mets's bullpen. It's unfortunate, but it's hard to see Randolph surviving too many more of these.
I'm surprised that this has come up in Seattle...Most of the time, a kiss is just a kiss in the stands at Seattle Mariners games. The crowd hardly even pays.
