View full size photo » The Cuban flamethrower is looking to join a major league team. As long as he doesn't require a ML deal, the Yankees should go after him. First I'll mention the cons: His control (or lack thereof) - in 118.1 innings last season in the Cuban National League , he walked 64 batters (fifth most) and had 14 wild pitches ( the most). Age - this is a pro and a con. He's only 22...

I wrote this when I finally got out of bed circa 2:30 in the afternoon. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. My fellow crazies and I were out celebrating the World Series Championship of the New York Yankees up until about 7am. None of us wanted the night to end. Ball game over. World Series over. Baseball season over. Listening to asinine hating anti-fans drop the "who's won more in this...
A tip of the retro Blue Jays cap to Bauxite brent for pointing out that the Jays are taking a gander at lefty John Halama down in the Dominican. Should the Jays sign the 37 year-old hurler, it would continue a trend by GM Alex Anthopoulos of acquiring players whose last name begins with " H ". Halama would join fellow southpaw Sean Henn and second baseman Jarrett Hoffpauir in the " H...

This post was filed by Emily Knudsen. City Attorney Tom Carr’s party at Christo’s on Alki started off slow. The room was sparse until about 7:45; then it filled up, mostly with older couples, until a couple of preteens showed up to gorge on the free pizza. The murmurs of the crowd sounded mostly chipper and light-hearted. One group was discussing the fall of the Mariners. (I miss Randy...

Here's some Halloween costumes I'd like to see: The George Brett: Costume comes complete with mask, uniform, fresh crab legs and a ton of chocolate pudding for the appropriate effect.

This will be the second time the World Series stretches into November. I could be wrong if for some reason an early World Series started that late, but I was thinking only in the current 3 round playoff format could a series go this long. The latest dates for a final world series game: 11/04/2001 Diamondbacks over Yankees 10/29/2008 Phillies over Rays ( game started 10/27) 10/28/1995 Braves over Phillies...
