Some of the majors biggest stars have come from this day, which primarily focuses upon Latin American and the Caribbean. Recent years have seen signing bonuses shoot through the roof, however they have not reached a point where the small market clubs are left with bidding on the weakest players. Instead, much of the work is done as the kids develop through team baseball academies, of which is something ev...http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1252277&src=rss The Good, The Bad, The Ugly...

Many people are looking at this series between Boston and Tampa Bay as a gauge to evaluate whether the Rays are truly for real this year. So far, they do seem to be for real.http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1252282&src=rss Camden Depot :: Updated Postseason Odds- July 1, 2008 Well, every projection system was a little bearish with the exception of the Pythagorean method. PECOTA odds for reaching the playoffs have decreased from 1:79 to 1:182 over the past week. ELO has decreased from 1:18 to 1:29. I also reckon that the wisdom of the crowds has also taken a downturn as Sherrill is providing another round of evidence that when you elicit a 25% groundball rate . . . you get hit. Sometimes, you get hit hard. He is a lot like Chris Ray in many ways, but that is s...http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1252271&src=rss The Mets Report :: NL East News: Phillies In Atlanta Video- July 1, 2008 The Philadelphia Phillies are in Atlanta for a three game series against the Braves starting tonight.

So I guess that means he won't need surgery, and the Yankees probably won't be signing Barry Bonds. Matsui is eligible to come of the DL on July 8th, but he will probably stay on the DL until after the All-Star break, as the Yankees want to be cautious with his rehab.http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1252241&src=rss |
