An Update On Juan Lara

This story of Lara's drive, determination, and humility coupled with the organization's commitment to him (financially and otherwise) reminded me of why, even with their horrendous on filed exploits of late, I'm proud to be a fan of this team.

Philly Fans Not Treating Rays Fans Cordially

Joe Romano a sports columnist for the St. Petersburg Times is complaining that Philly fans are being none too kind to Rays fans - including the children of some of the players. It seems like a typical Philadelphia sporting event - complete with the pelting of Joe Maddon's granddaughter with packets of mustard.

Why This Award Isn't Named After Derek Jeter Is Beyond Me

But The Captain wasn't even nominated for the 2008 Pepsi Clutch Performer Award.

MLB's Greatest Moustaches - Honorable Mention for Our Pal Sal

I understand Hrabosky, Fingers and Gossage being high on the list, but see no reason Sal should take a seat behind the likes of Mattingly, Hernandez or even Beck.

(In a related note, no mention of Casey's beard at all)

Indians Making One Last Run at Signing CC

According to an unnamed major league exec, the Indians are making a last ditch effort to sign CC before trading him.

New Agreement Reached on MLB Drug Policy

As part of the deal, players named in the Mitchell Report will not be disciplined. To the extent this was creating a distraction for Byrd, at least that's over.
