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"?

It's simple LATT. All you have to do is highlight the word you want to make a link, click the "link" button in the comment box and put the address there. Wordpress will take care of the coding for you.

This all took place less than 20 miles from me, and has been on the news here since it first happened, obviously.
