NY Daily News : New York Mets offseason focus will be on tier-two free agents — Doing his best “Chicken Little” impression, Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig emerged from the owners meetings, (which he strategically held in the spartan quarters of the O'Hare Airport Hilton) and declared last Thursday …
When we last saw Eric Gagne, he was not in high esteem . But that was just Eric Gagne the baseball player. As Walkoff Walk notes, he might be trying on a different cap before too long. At a charity event in Quebec City, Gagne was asked if he would lead an investment team to help Montreal get a professional baseball team. His response, translated from his native French-Canadian tongue: "I know...
Vladimir Guerrero, seen here handling balls, was to Montreal baseball what Rocket Richard was to hockey. After playing here for several years, Guerrero went on to play in Los Angeles and now remains an unsigned free agent.

Per Bill Shaikin's piece in the Times , but what's weirder is the by-now ridiculous comment from Bud Selig on the McCourt splitup: Mannion said the divorce has not affected the club's day-to-day operations. Commissioner Bud Selig said Wednesday he believes the club is "in good hands" for now under McCourt, Colletti and Manager Joe Torre. Damning with faint praise?
Bud Selig: The clumsy MLB commish plans on “tightening” up baseball’s postseason schedule. Great! Then, he followed it up with, “it’s difficult.” This left Rob Neyer “guardedly optimistic” which might as well be code for, “not happening.” So Selig will whiff on this and instant replay. Outstanding. Changes in baseball come at a glacial pace....
