What in the world is Jerry Manuel doing?
From 1999 through 2001, Keith Foulke was the best reliever in baseball, with a 2.49 ERA in 274 1/3 innings. He led all relievers in Michael Wolverton’s Adjusted Runs Prevented in that time, and was an integral part of the White Sox’ AL Central title in 2000.
It’s been brought to my attention that many of you are using illegal drugs. I’m not accusing you, in particular, no. But you know who I’m talking about.
This puts you at an unfair disadvantage. Readers on methamphetamines are able to read an entire day’s BP.com content in minutes, leaving valuable time for other activities, like bicycling 100 miles or staring off into space while developing facial tics.

This morning, I read an interview with owners’ representative Bud Selig. The interview, conducted by The Sporting News’ Dave Kindred, was disappointing because it covered exactly zero new ground.

Nothing spoils us like greatness. It is so easy to take for granted the magnificence of once-in-a-lifetime talents like Barry Bonds or Alex Rodriguez, precisely because their greatness produces a consistency that lulls us into becoming accustomed to their exploits.
Greatness isn’t a quality reserved for those who take the field. The most dominant baseball figure of the past 25 years hasn’t played in the major leagues since 1969. It has been 12 years since the playoffs started without a team managed by Bobby Cox, and he appears to be in no hurry to end that streak.

You can draw your own conclusions." —Shawn Estes, Mets pitcher, on throwing a pitch a foot behind Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens "I never doubted Shawn being a good teammate. Read into that what you want. We protect each other." —Mike Piazza, Mets catcher…
