Where's the Cloverfield monster when you really need him?I know they've been up for a while, but I just took a close look at some of these All-Star Game statues and threw up in my mouth a little.In theory, I can appreciate the marketing strategy. Forty-two Statue of Liberty replicas put up throughout NYC, painted in the colors of a Major League team. It's a good way to publicize the All-Star gam

USA A family screening of Field of Dreams will turn everyone into baseball believers, as even those who eschew the mythic power of the game will be won over by Kevin Costner's magical performance. The film, which hearkens back to a simpler time without being corny, portrays one dreamer's persistence -- a message that translates to every generation. When farmer Ray Kinsella (Costner) hears a gentl

CARACAS (Reuters) - Former Major League Baseball player Geremi Gonzalez was struck by lightning and killed over the weekend at a lake in his native Venezuela, authorities said on Monday.Gonzalez, 33, a pitcher who was signed to Japan's Yomiuri Giants in 2007, had previously played for the Chicago Cubs, the Tampa Bay Rays, the Boston Red Sox, the New York Mets and the Milwaukee Brewers.There we

I was thinking a little about the craziness of Major League Baseball.Last night, the New York Mets played the Los Angeles Dodgers at Shea Stadium. The game began after 8 p.m. and ended after 11 p.m. Eastern Time.Tonight, the Mets play the San Francisco Giants at 10 p.m. Eastern Time — all of this after a cross-country flight that probably didn't take off until well after midnight early this morn

Major League Baseball continues an annual tradition this weekend as it celebrates Mother's Day. Once again, the league will use the day to promote breast cancer awareness and raise money to combat the disease. Special game programs will be sold wherever there is a home game on Sunday, and players from each team will use pink bats when they head to the plate. As in past years, the league will auction off the game-used bats, as well as team-autographed bats, on its website. Proceeds from the sales will go to support the Susan G. Komen for the Cure to help fight breast cancer. Fans will also be able to buy personalized pink Louisville Sluggers online with 10-dollars from each sale going to Komen for the Cure. Players will also wear pink items such as wristbands and necklaces for the day

Keith Olbermann disses Major League Baseball for their action against the Red Sox coaches, nice.Well, the Red Sox ended a threatened boycott today of their final spring training game in Florida and their flight to Japan, as they resolved a dispute against Major League Baseball over paying coaches for the season-opening trip overseas. According to Boston.com, a source said that all staff associated with the trip will be compensated.The game against Toronto started an hour late when the team voted unanimously not to play or go to Tokyo after learning coaches and staff would not get a $40,000 appearance fee for the Japan trip. Players said they believed that fee was part of the original deal.According to the major league source, in the past, the coaches' compensation has come from the players

It looks like business is about to pick up -- real soon. According to the New York Daily News, Major League Baseball has the Mitchell Report...Major League Baseball officials are reviewing George Mitchell's long-anticipated steroid report at the former Senate majority leader's law offices, 21 months after commissioner Bud Selig asked Mitchell to investigate the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball.Officials arrived at Mitchell's Manhattan office Tuesday, according to sources familiar with the investigation who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the topic, and began what is believed to be a 48-hour review period before Mitchell releases the report on Thursday. The report is believed to contain the names of 60-80 former and current players, according to sources, and is based in large part on information provided to Mitchell by former clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski."We cannot comment on anything," MLB spokesman Rich Levin said.MLB officials were revie

Lets take a brief time-out from my football domination to take a look at this year's MLB playoffs. There's some fresh faces in the NL, and the same old teams in the AL. Here's how I see things going down.NLDSDIAMONDBACKS vs. CUBS:This is the toughest series to call. As a die-hard White Sox fan, I need the Cubs to lose, and lose quickly. But except for a hiccup in Florida, the Cubs have looked pretty good down the stretch. Of course, that was against cellar-dwellers, not the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Cubs see a steep drop-off in their pitching after Zambrano and Lilly, but the Diamondbacks don't even go that deep. Brandon Wedd is as dominant a pitcher as their is in the National League, but after him its Doug Davis and Livan Hernandez. The D-backs are a young, scrappy, grind-it-out sort of team, featuring the likes of Chris Young and Eric Byrnes. Still, I think the pitching carries the Cubs in this one. CUBS in 5.PHILLIES vs. ROCKIES:You probably didn't know this, but the

“If you can’t beat them, join them” seems to be the new motto for Major League Baseball. Ticket scalping or brokering (depending on how softly you want to put it) has been a huge underground business for years.  With the internet, it became even easier to buy/sell tickets on the secondary market. Major League Baseball is now getting in on the act with StubHub. New York Time Story

Major League Baseball is finally pressing forward with an all out attack on the one thing that threatens to destroy the very core of the game—the Slingbox. The league is now publicly saying that the Slingbox is in violation of MLB’s broadcast contract because it illegally allows people to view out of market games on their computers. MLB.com is supposed to have exclusive online rights for out of market baseball games, but if somebody with a slingbox goes on vacation or leaves it with somebody in a different city, they will be able to watch out of market games over the internet. Sling Media, the owner of the Slingbox, believe they are doing nothing wrong. The company’s view is that the Slingbox is just an extension of one’s home television service. Since that service has already been paid for, customers shouldn’t also have to pay another fee at MLB.com to watch the games. At its core, the dispute is about money. Major League Baseball feels it’s l

So, I came downstairs and flipped on the TV just in time to catch second-base umpire Gerry Davis call Willie Bloomquist safe while stealing 2nd base on Monday night. Replays (along with the naked eye) confirmed that he was tagged right on the ass while his hands were still almost 3 feet away from the bag. It was honestly one of the worst missed calls/bad calls you will see in the majors."With all we've been through, it was a well-deserved break, and it came at a good time. I'll take it. On the play itself, I thought it was actually pretty close. But when I got a chance to see the replay ... well, he called me safe, so I was safe. It's a good thing there's no instant replay in baseball." -Willie Bloomsquist-But is it really? Something as little as that, just a bad angle that lead to a bad call by the 2nd base ump can change the outcome of a game. So I was thinking, Maybe Willie's wrong. Maybe instant replay is something that baseball needs to seriously think about.I'm buying insta

The NFL and NBA drafts have been televised for years. Now, Major League Baseball is joining the trend. For the first time in its history, the baseball entry draft will be aired live on ESPN2. Coverage will begin on Thursday, June 7th at 2 p.m. ET from Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla. The broadcast will end at 6 p.m. ET. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said the telecast, “will give fans access to see this critical function of an organization’s development. This is an idea whose time has come.” Each team’s first round pick will be televised and all clubs will have a maximum of five minutes to make their selections. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays will have the first selection. The San Francisco Giants will have three picks in the first round, while the Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers will each have two first round choices. The draft will have 50 rounds and will conclude after all 30 teams have passed on a selection or after the fi
