Get ready for giveaways at the gate
via Big League Stew - MLB - Yahoo! Sports by (author unknown) on March 04, 2008
Over at Home Run Derby, Rich has done a wonderful job of completing a task I was planning on completing when I got back to Chicago. He's listed the top 10 promotions/giveaways across Major League baseball this season, beginning with Joe Mauer fishing lures (right) and ending with Tampa Rays cowbells. I'm thankful I can now cross that one off my to-do list. Everything mentioned looks worth...

via Big League Stew - MLB - Yahoo! Sports by (author unknown) on March 10, 2008
Back in Chicago for this week and the temperature is a miserable 33 degrees. Yet at least we're on the right side of freezing. It's all about small victories up here in the beginning of March.But before I go onto giving thanks that there's no snow on the ground and that my car isn't buried, let's look back at the week that was in Florida. • Favorite spring training camp: If...

The Scorecard: Yankees are Hokies for a day
via Big League Stew - MLB - Yahoo! Sports by (author unknown) on March 18, 2008
Watch out, ladies.Derek Jeter and the Yankees are in Virginia Tech today, so if for some unknown reason you want to stay out of the Deuce's grasp, you can watch it free on MLB.TV.I may have mentioned this before, but what the Yankees are doing — visiting and raising money for a college campus that was struck by tragedy less than a year ago — is very admirable. A lot of fans out there hate...

However, I'm willing to bet that Manny Ramirez looked considerably less happy upon finding out that a million yen converts to only about $10K U.S. dollars. • Ramirez's doubles lift Red Sox / Yahoo! Sports

via Big League Stew - MLB - Yahoo! Sports by (author unknown) on March 26, 2008
There are silly Internet mistakes, like playing The Cosby Show instead of the Cubs-Giants game.Then there are the Hall-of-Fame groaners, like this one, courtesy of our friends over on the MLB transactions page at ESPN.com. Lidle, of course, died in 2006 when a plane he was piloting crashedinto a building in NYC. Plus, the last time he pitched for the BlueJays was in 2003. He was a Yankee at the...

This and every weekday a.m., let's rise and shine together with the most recent and decent major league happenings. Today's AL roll call starts at Bill Gates' house, where an early lead by the Mariners did not compute to a win thanks in part to the non-cornerback Adam Jones.

via Big League Stew - MLB - Yahoo! Sports by (author unknown) on April 28, 2008
Without a doubt, this mom-ogling clip from ESPN's Orestes Destrade was by far my favorite YouTube du jour over the weekend ... Oh, what I wouldn't give to be in the Phillies clubhouse next timeDestrade has to make his rounds for information and bumps into JaysonWerth. "Dude, I heard you said something about my mom on television? "Not cool, man. Not cool at all."
