A few links to browse while you recover from last night's 13-inning marathon in the Bronx.... The New York Post's Joel Sherman has a plan for the Mets' rotation: take advantage of spacious Citi Field by pursuing fly ball pitchers instead of the ground ball pitchers that everyone else will covet. Sherman's ideas include Jeremy Guthrie, Gil Meche, and Ervin Santana. Adam Rubin at the New York Daily News...

A Farewell to Right Arms is a semi-autobiographical novel written by Trey Hillman, first published in 2009. The novel is told through the point of view of a big league manager, an American who wishes he was in fact Japanese citizen, and who might as well be an ambulance driver, given the number of arm injuries to his pitching staff. The title is taken from a poem by 16th century English dramatist George...

I feel as if Upper Deck has done a fantastic marketing job for passing trade. This is the third time that someone visiting the US has 'just happened' to see baseball cards and picked me a few packs. I'm not complaining, although I have to wonder out of all the cards available in the US, that Upper Deck is the one chosen to buy. Is it the colourful front and large image that draws non-collectors towards...

Soren Petro: Dayton Moore said there was a concentrated effort to extend guys, to try to get the starting pitchers to go deeper into games. That's obviously a process, its a great idea in theory. Is that process one of the major reasons why Gil Meche and Brian Bannister are finishing the year on the disabled list? Trey Hillman: I think its a possibility that people don't understand the mental part...

My how the sports writers love to speculate. They don't start a rumor mind you, they get an out of contest quote to make it seem like it's from a real source. We all know Captain Wrongway Phil Rogers loves to do this stuff in his Sunday 'mlb whispers' column. The newest wanna-be GM rumor comes from Paul Sullivan, the Cubs beat specialist from the currently bankrupt (can I count the ways) Chicago Tribune....
