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.

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.

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"?

Crazy, daddio. What a swell time capsule this is.
Interesting note, after a successful career with Disney, Screen Gems, and UPA, the director of this clip, John Hubley, was banned from working for refusing to name names before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. One of the director's daughters is rock drummer, Georgia Hubley of Yo La Tengo, the great band out of Hoboken, NJ.
