More goodies… The latest on Matt Harrington. I, for one, believe that Scott Boras will be a big improvement over Tommy Tanzer. If you’ve ever had any interest in being a scout, here’s one from Josh Boyd at Baseball America you won’t want to miss.

How Are Hampton and Neagle Doing at Coors Field?

Muslim in America, MST3K
No time to talk; just a couple quick links for you. First is to an article by Baseball Prospectus’ Rany Jazayerli on being a Muslim in America right now. Second is to a great MST3K site (I’m an unabashed fan of the show), which, among other things, gives detailed instructions on how to build the [...]
California League Playoffs, High Desert vs Lake Elsinore
I’ll talk about Jason Middlebrook’s big-league debut tomorrow, but first some unfinished business: Game Two of the High Desert/Lake Elsinore series.

Start the Healing Process
Cal League playoffs cancelled. Lake Elsinore and San Jose have been named co-champions. It’s not really fair but who cares. Over in Japan, Tuffy Rhodes needs one homer in the final 12 games to break Sadahuru Oh’s single-season record of 55, set back in 1964. Back home, and having nothing to do with baseball, I [...]

A Dark Day for Every American
A dark day for every American. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families affected by this horrific act of violence against humanity. Baseball doesn’t seem to matter much right now.
