Twitter becomes a big player in baseball

I saw this story linked from MLB Trade Rumors and thought it was interesting. I'm a big fan of Twitter and its pretty interesting a forum such as Twitter can have such an impact in a short amount of time.

I wonder what will be the "next big thing" that will impact how information is spread and discussed.

Rawlings Makes Safer Batting Helmet

This is great news! Hopefully, players can be convinced to wear the helmets.

I love David Wright's quote, "I’m not worried about style or looking good out there. I’m worried about keeping my melon protected." Smart man.

Japanese team used Dice-K's posting fee for plush potties

Japanese team used Dice-K's posting fee for plush potties

Since things have gotten a little heated on the site the last couple of days, I thought everyone could use a good laugh.

Apparently, the Seibu Lions used much of the $51 million posting fee they received from the Red Sox to improve their stadium, once one of the worst in Japan. Now they have some of the nicest bathrooms in the country and apparently that is important in Japan. Wonder what they think of the bathrooms at Wrigley when Japanese tourists come to see Fukudome?

Say, to raise money to renovate Wrigley, who do you propose the Cubs "post" to a Japanese team?
