Source: #Cardinals' offer would have given Pujols about 10th-highest salary in game. Likely translates to $19M-$21M per.

If Ryan Howard is getting $25 million per year, Pujols shouldn't be settling for $19-21.

Derek Jeter is 74 hits away from the 3,000 milestone.  Surprisingly, he will be the first to accomplish that feat  as a Yankee.

Mark Grudzielanek has retired.

His stats for the Cubs in 2003/2004 were a lot better than I remember them

Aaron Boone is a terrible baseball analyst and announcer.

Another day and another witness in the Barry Bonds trial drives the nail in his coffin a little deeper.  Today it is his orthopedic surgeon.

I'll be the first to admit that I've never cared a hoot in Hades for  Barry or his dad, but the time and money spent to nail this clown on perjury charges is nuts. Taxpayers bucks misspent IMHO

Chicken deaths probe of 2 Texas prep players   
 
BENBROOK, Texas -- Police in the Dallas area are investigating whether two high school baseball players sacrificed chickens in a bid to improve their games.
 
Police in Benbrook, Texas, say a 15- and 16-year-old "engaged in acts that caused the death of two baby chickens. It appears that superstition relating to a slump in baseball performance could have played a part."
 
Western Hills High School baseball coach Bobby McIntire says he has not had a chance to talk to the students about why they did it. He told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that "baseball is very superstitious" and the idea possibly came from movies they say.
 
School officials say the boys have been kicked off the team.

OK, Bobby Valentine is starting to annoy me on Sunday Night Baseball.

He just said that Robinson Cano was able to keep a ball fair, fisting it into center field and that only good hitters can keep a ball fair, into center field.

Fair ball -- center field.

Fuld nearly hit for the cycle last night and would have if he stopped at first on a second double.

He's just having a hot start and will eventually cool off but it's nice to see him doing well.
