I know baseball is a business and money talks but are the Mets really good enough to schmooze things over with Yorvit Torrealba. Just early this month when discussing his pending grievance the catcher made it sound personal, that he felt he had a deal in place and that he was up set over Minaya speaking to his family raising their expectations only to pull the rug out from under them. Torrealba filed...

Chris Iannetta is a better hitter against left-handers, but Yorvit Torrealba has been the Rockies' best clutch-hitter in recent months.

After fighting tooth and nail for 161 games for a playoff berth and then for playoff eligibility, the Rockies will play their first and only meaningless game of the 2009 regular season today against the Dodgers. Both teams are locked into their seeds and playoff opponents, meaning that we are likely to see two get-away day line-ups as both teams just look to avoid injuries going into the playoffs....

Last week: We sent out a search party to locate the whereabouts of Chris Iannetta. Last night: The search ended. Chris Iannetta made his dramatic return to Coors Field . He’s alive. He’s well. He’s hitting 430 feet bombs to the opposite field. He got the shaving cream pie treatment on MLB Tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Iannetta is back! Welcome home, Chris. Welcome home.
