Coaches often get too much blame when their teams struggle, but now it's gone too far. I mean, if Dick Jauron can get fired, is no one safe? Is nothing sacred? What has he ever done to deserve the axe? What's that? He had just one winning season in nine tries? He made it to just one playoff game and his team got crushed? He was just 60-82 in his coaching career? Oh. I see. By all accounts, Jauron is...

Meet the Mets Bart Hubbuch writes that Wally Backman would be the logical heir to Jerry Manuel should the Mets dump their manager mid-season. Jason Fry is a little hesitant to take that risk . At this point, I can see the Mets going with Backman to appease the grission crowd, but it would be odd to jump over a candidate like Tim Teufel who has been a loyal, competent, and controversy-free manager in...

Sabathia and Roy Halladay were the only other pitchers mentioned...

Congratulations to Zack Greinke, the winner of the 2009 A.L. Cy Young Award. He is clearly deserving of the award, but the biggest story here isn't that he won -- although with an unimpressive win total, there was a little bit of a question about that -- but that he blew away the field, picking up 25 of the 28 first place votes, and finishing second on the other three ballots. King Felix finished second...
