The Yokohama Bay Stars are very interested. Paulie Walnuts Lo Duca is being sued for allegedly not paying a stud fee to the owners of his horse's lover. Matt at Metsblog notes that Cliff Floyd was released by the Padres...

THE PURSUIT OF 80's(ness) (Free subscription) | 09/14/2009
Here is note attached to some cards from Greg at Night Owl. I knew they would be good, but I couldn't help but notice the plural on Jacoby, as in Jacoby's. Here is the best bit, Greg didn't place them on top so they would be the first cards I stumbled across. He placed them through out the other cards so I would find them in at intervals, leaving the best a 2009 Topps Chrome refractor until last. My...

Congratulations, Cubs fans. You’ve done it. You should be so proud of yourselves. The Cubs have not yet traded Milton Bradley, but he’s not going to be back in 2010. The Cubs will find a team to take him, send along half the money he’s owed (about $10.5 million) and seek a new right fielder who likely will not be as good as Milton Bradley. Well done. You all deserve a pat on the...

Another 6-card pack from the infamous repack. Shaun Marcum Eric Hinske Cliff Floyd - Don't call him Cornelius. Even if he signs his contracts that way. Papelbon--Generation Now - Worst insert set ever. Jesse Litsch Alex Rodriguez--2007 AL All-Star - As time goes on, I find it harder and harder to believe that one of the greatest players of all time is one of the most under-appreciated.

Mets Walk-Offs And Other Minutiae (Free subscription) | 08/19/2009
Appropos of nothing, I used Baseball-Reference to create a Mets grand slam database the other day. Figured my first use of it would be for some good, fun, trivia questions, ones a little tougher than "Who has the most grand slams in Mets history?" (Mike Piazza, 6). Answers in the comments section 1- The record for most grand slams allowed by a pitcher against the Mets is 3. Name the pitcher...
