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"?

Can I get a cup of hot chocolate from that pot in the back?
So, what's up with Morneau the last 1-½ months? Not something that a day off will take care of, I'm sure.

This may have been mentioned somewhere, because I haven't been around much (and may not be until later in the week), but the Twins have called up Kevin Slowey and Nick Blackburn.

Hey Stick- minor formatting request:
When you resize (smaller) the entire Firefox frame, the 'Reply to this LTE' link on the right goes out of the frame - would be nice if it stayed in alignment with the right border.
Thanks,

Big news out of MLS:
Real Salt Lake has won two games in a row, doubling their win total to 4. 3-1 over KC and 2-1 over the Galaxy. The big news is His Holiness Eddie Pope scored the game winner for RSL over LA.

Some might say the phrase "big news out of MLS" is a contradiction in terms.
Andrew replied on September 3, 2007 at 7:37:07 pm
It's not really big news. I was just excited Eddie Pope scored the game winner. Over the Galaxy no less.

Nick Punto, since Sep. 1 2006, is getting on base at a lovely .279 clip and slugging a robust .261. By Moss' California math, that adds up to an OPS of .540.
Yet, the skipper saw fit to give him 594 PA in that span.
