Lawrence Phillips was a Husker and he hit. Women mostly.

Willy Taveras for ROY :D

riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

No one on the Lastros deserves any awards (not including starting pitching)
Lidge could win the relief man of the year, and now that Barmes is out Willy has a legit shot at ROY. Ensberg MIGHT get a gold glove, unlikely because hes not a household name, but it seems every game he has one or two diving plays.

Ex-Phil Marlon Anderson just hit an inside-the-park HR for the Mets to tie the game against Francisco Rodriguez of the Angels.

Excellent, exciting play!

I was looking at some articles online this morning, and I found this gem of a line from Ryne Sandberg's column:

Quote4. Who should manage the United States in the World Baseball Classic next year?

My top three candidates on current major-league teams are Bobby Cox, Tony La Russa, Joe Torre and Frank Robinson. On the other hand, Tommy Lasorda is a guy that thrives in that kind of situation – representing the country and the game of baseball. He would be an excellent choice.

:-D Classic!  Where is the editor on this?

For those that care about the rest of the article.

Mets and Yanks are working on a trade.

On the surface, Sheffield for Cameron does not sound like a good deal at all for the Yanks.

Is this a desperation move for the Yanks, is there something else in there (a pitcher, perhaps) involved?

I know that the Yanks  need a centerfielder, but trading Sheffield creates a need in right.

While watching the Astros at Rockies game today, I have discovered yesterday Colorado's AAA team won 25-7 last night and two guys hit for the cycle.

Cairo would also go to the Yankees in that deal...

Sheffield throws a hissy fit, says he'll never go to the Mets:

Sheffield miffed at reported trade rumors:

Gary Sheffield does not want to play for the Mets or any team other than the Yankees this season.

"I'm not going anywhere," Sheffield told The New York Times on Wednesday. The Yankees and Mets reportedly were in discussions about a possible Sheffield-for-Mike Cameron swap.

"If I have to go somewhere, I won't go," the Yankees' slugger told The Times. "If they said 'wouldn't you want to get paid', I'd say 'I've got plenty of money.' I'm not playing nowhere else, I can promise you that."

Sheffield is signed through 2006 and does not have a no-trade clause in his contract. He signed a three-year, $39 million contract in December 2003.

The Yankees reportedly are interested in upgrading their defense by placing Cameron in center. The Mets would add another powerful bat to the middle of their order with Sheffield, who plays right field for the Yankees.

Sheffield seemed to hedge in another interview with MLB.com, saying he would want concessions for signing off on any trade.

"If I have to go somewhere else, a lot of things are going to have to be changed or you're going to have an unhappy player," Sheffield told MLB.com.

"I'll ask for everything. Period. You want to inconvenience me, I'm going to inconvenience every situation there is," he added. "The only reason I'm playing is that I wanted to play for the Yankees. If I don't get that opportunity, things change."

Sheffield, who negotiated his current contract personally with Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, did say that he wouldn't hold out if he were to be traded.

"I would never sit out," Sheffield told MLB.com. "I'd go play, but that doesn't mean I'll be happy playing. If I'm not happy, you don't want me on your team. It's that simple. I'll make that known to anybody."

I wonder if Gary's ever been on the subway from Yankee Stadium to Shea?  It only takes about two hours.
