I like it when people are happy. When I'm around happy people, I tend to feel happier, too. I imagine some of you are a lot like me in that way. That's why this is such a great day around these parts. The Astros probably won't have Lance Berkman in the lineup on Opening Day, and this surely will be great news to many of you. I'm ready to start printing those playoff tickets, aren't you? Puma seems...

New Tigers OF Johnny Damon isn't what most people would think of as a surefire Hall of Famer, and he probably won't have a real shot without 3,000 hits (he's currently at 2425). He's 36, so that's a possibility, if he stays healthy for a few more years. Impressively, he currently is at 1483 runs scored, and the 1500 runs scored club is very exclusive. There were 38 players who retired before 2005...

The Hall of Fame ace sent an open letter to The Associated Press this week, telling the former home-run king: "You have not even begun to apologize to those you have harmed."

Without the persistence of Bud Selig, the Brewers might still be the Seattle Pilots. That same persistence resulted in the building of Miller Park. On those two counts alone, the Brewers figured Selig deserved to stand - in bronze - with Hank Aaron and Robin Yount outside of the club's retractable-roof facility.
