I do not understand this "surplus" of which you speak. Maybe NohDak could invest in shiny baubles California state bonds??
OMFG, this is one lucky kid. (With DB parents)
My favorite bit, which I assume is tongue-in-cheek:
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.

Now, I'm a fan of the hometown boy and all, but, gimme a break, Peter. He has an agent with a brain. Strike while the teeny little iron is hot.

When I read that, my reaction was "Jeebus, Gammons". He's heading into Grandpa Sports territory.

I recently obtained a recording of an appearance she made during the 1950s on Studs Terkel's old WFMT program, but I haven't had a chance to listen to it. Might have to dust if off now.

With Kubel's 118 OPS+ last season, he's getting pretty hard to ignore.

How does one keep a white russian from curdling? I gave up after buying my first bottle of Kahlua back in college. I would just drink kahlua and milk after like five attempts ended up as coffee-vodka cheese.

In my decade-plus of bartending, I never had that problem.

Maybe you shoud've been drinking these. One of the rudest looking drinks I've ever had to mix.

Someone orders one of these, please put them out of their misery.

Can it be worse than "Ass Juice" as invented by the famed "Double Down Saloon?" * Apparently NYC has a location in honor of the Vegas original.
Ass Juice at Double-Down Saloon
14 Ave. A (at Houston St.)
212-982-0543
It’s the color of a nuclear-power-plant accident and features the consistency of mostly melted Jell-O, but you’ll be intrigued by the Double Down Saloon’s Ass Juice. The East Village dive’s namesake cocktail is a viscous, brown-green mixture of about a dozen liquors, none of which the bartenders will reveal. It’s stored in a clear glass bottle. No label. No identification. “It’s Ass Juice,” a blonde bartender told us one night. “That’s all you need to know.”
Because our curiosity will eventually kill us, we anted up for Ass Juice. The bartender smiled and poured an overflowing shot. Green dribbles spilled on the wooden bar. When the wood didn’t burn, we knew we were safe.
“Come on, don’t be a pussy—drink it up,” the bartender said in Double Down’s charming fashion. We did … and we were amazed. The drink kicked like a mule, sure, but it tasted like Jagermeister’s educated cousin. “What’d you think?” the bartender asked. We responded the only way we could
to Ass Juice: “Bottom’s up.”

At least I can say I was drinking those way before any damn hipsters. Granted, I didn't start until well after the Big Lebowski came out (I wasn't old enough and all), but still.

So, that guy in Pasedena outsourcing his news reporting to India thought he was ahead of his time. Pffft. Now we are outsourcing mothering to India.

Aragua scored six runs in the top of the first and couldn't make it stand up, losing to Lara 14-13 in ten innings. The only Twin to appear was Carmen Cali, who gave up two hits, but no runs, in two-thirds of an inning.

Just thought I'd let everyone know that this blog doesn't get picked up by the filter at work. Apparently, half baked crap is not considered a blog or message board.
