Richie Sexson of the woeful Seattle Mariners is simply the latest
example of the silliness of Major League Baseball's love affair with
high-priced superstars whose production is pathetic.
Pity the Seattle Mariners, whose 37-58 record through Sunday
(7-13-08) in the American League West Division was tied for the second
worst in the majors, a whopping 20 games BEHIND the league-leading Los
Angeles Angels at Anaheim, who are 57-38...more

FemmeFan Weekly: Series Fans’ Schizophrenia
Never, ever, has the
World Series been stopped due to inclement weather. Never, ever, has the game
been resumed three days later. Forget the game for now, forget the end of the
Phillies drought, forget the end of the Rays’ Cinderella season, forget the big
bats and fielding. Forget the fact that the game was called only after the Rays
tied the game in the sixth inning.
Let’s talk about the

You must
admit that some pretty weird things happened Monday night in Game 5 of the 2008
World Series, maybe it has something to do with the Halloween season. Or not...

Rocco
Baldelli’s health is one of the biggest
question marks the Rays have this spring. He appeared in only 127 of 486 games
the past three seasons because of an assortment of injuries. Baldelli has been
a major disappointment since signing a long-term deal in November 2005 and there
was much hoopla as to why the team would make such a commitment to someone who
had just missed the entire 2005 from a torn ACL and a torn rotator cuff.
Heading into spring training, the Rays have asked Baldelli to pace himself
during spring training, something that Baldelli has never had to do.....

But the last two years, with the team a big disappointment, he wore the goat
horns, asking why he didn’t do more to improve the club. In this interview, he
addresses the issue if his hands were tied by Andy MacPhail, just what Alfonso
Soriano was promised when the Cubs signed him, his thoughts on Lou Piniella, and
what player surprised him this year....
