            Any takers for Zambrano? I suspect he can be had for a bag of balls and a fungo bat...

                He's being put on the restricted list and sent to anger management class. Nearest return will be after the All-Star break.

                One hundred years provides more than several lifetimes full of highlights, some lowlights, and many memories. Here’s a look at 100 years of the Western Golf Association and the Western Open. …

                  It's decisions like this that just verify how wussie a sport baseball is. Yes I understand the limitations placed on teams, but let's be real here. OVERPAID PROTECTED BRATS. No offense intended to the small handful of exceptions to the rule.

                      It's not the wuss factor; what bothers me is the fact that guys like Zambrano and Milton Bradley can be total tools, to the detriment of their teams, and still collect every penny of those guaranteed contracts.

                      We've heard the Zambrano "I'm so sorry" act enough times now to know it means nothing. Sure, the Cubs were idiots for signing him to a long-term $$$$$$$ deal ($95MM iirc), but when the player treats goes rogue and still gets full payment, like an entitlement program, there should be some recourse.

                      [I assume there is no recourse or the Cubs would have dumped him immediately.]

                          Record is 4. But over 100 years ago.

                          MLB triples records including career triples records, single season triples records and game related triples records, research by Baseball Almanac.


                          Damn impressive in any event.

                                I was watching this game last night on TV. The home plate umpire saw it happen, spun on his heel and started walking in the other direction. Players and fans were freaked out, too.

                                Rangers spectator hurt after fall from 2nd deck
                                Man fell while reaching for foul ball, taken to hospital



                                updated 10:31 p.m. CT, Tues., July 6, 2010

                                ARLINGTON, Texas - A male spectator fell from the second deck onto the field level seats while leaning to catch a foul ball at Rangers Ballpark during the fifth inning of Tuesday night’s game between the Cleveland Indians and Texas Rangers.

                                Rangers executive vice president/communications John Blake said the spectator was “able to move all his extremities and was responsive to paramedics.”

                                Texas’ Nelson Cruz fouled a ball into the first row of seats in the club level along the first-base line, and the fan attempted to snag the ball before losing his balance and tumbling about 30 feet onto the seats below.

                                Paramedics were on the scene quickly to attend to the fan, who was strapped to a stretcher and taken by ambulance to John Peter Smith Hospital.

                                The game was stopped for 16 minutes and several players on the field looked shaken.

                                Four people in the lower deck were struck when the spectator fell and were treated at the ballpark for minor injuries.
                                Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
