The Giants would become overnight favorites to win the NL West with Ramirez and the pitching staff they have already assembled.
As for the Dodgers, no worries, they would still have Juan Pierre to fill Ramirez's shoes in left field.
Smoking ban leads to major drop in heart attacks according to a new study published by the Centers for Disease Control's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. This was basically a case-control study, comparing heart attack rates in Pueblo, CO to two control sites (Pueblo County outside the city limits; and El Paso County, which includes Colorado Springs).

2 years, $17.5M, reportedly, with options and stuff, plus they give up a first-round pick to Colorado. Last year, league average ERA for a relief pitcher was 4.09. Marcel the Monkey projects Fuentes to have a 3.69 FIP next year. Probably an overpay, but there's plenty of upside.
Even though Joe C bothers with errors and fielding percentage, I give him a bunch of credit for pointing this out and at least throwing some RZR/OOZ in there.
19 of Bora's 20 free agents remain unsigned. Will Boras wane in his influence? Will Mark Teixeira get a bazillion dollars? Stay tuned.
ESPN reports that Yankee Stadium bleacher seats for exhibition opener to cost 25 cents. Cool enough. But it also reports that some seats in the new stadium are priced at $2500 a game. That's over $200,000 for a season ticket.
The Paper of Record doles out sage advice on Grabbing a Bite Between Flights at (or Near) Seven Airports.
Snowman declared a public nuisance. Will they lock him up in the Cooler?
Headline in Strib: Paris Hilton's ex busted for Fargo bar fight. Once you get past the obvious joke, you might wonder why this fact is newsworthy at all. I'm saying it isn't.
Seriously. In this universe, who names their kid "Adolf Hitler"?

One might say that he's jonesing for Jones. As a result of the aforementioned drugs, of course.

And I must give credit to firejoemogan.blogspot.com for pointing out the article. FJM is probably my second-favorite baseball site, after SBG of course.

Psilocybin, peyote, or mescaline. Definitely one of the hallucinogenics. But whatever it was, it was one bad trip.

The funniest thing about it is that it says "Expert" next to his name. Hey, if they put it in print, it must be true!

I'm dumber for having read that.

You know, it doesn't even rise to the level of half-baked crap.
