I love how over on the right, it’s like, “Oh and speaking of baseball, why not play fantasy baseball?”
Next time I hear about someone being run over by a car, I’m going to be like, “That’s so funny! I actually rode in a car earlier today!”
Play Ball!
“Being with a woman all night never hurt no professional baseball player. It’s staying up all night looking for a woman that does him in.” ~Casey Stengel

“Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt has announced an agreement Tuesday night to sell the bankrupt team for $2 billion to a group that includes former Lakers star Magic Johnson and former Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals president Stan Kasten.
The agreement, revealed about five hours after Major League Baseball owners approved three finalists for the auction, is to lead to a transfer of the team by the end of April. It is subject to approval in federal bankruptcy court.
Mark Walter, chief executive officer of the financial services firm Guggenheim Partners would become the controlling owner. The price would be easily a record for a North American sports franchise.
As part of the agreement, the Dodgers said McCourt and “certain affiliates of the purchasers” would acquire the land surrounding Dodger Stadium for $150 million. A source with knowledge of the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told ESPNLosAngeles.com’s Tony Jackson that means the group will purchase half the Dodger Stadium parking lots, which were deemed to have a total value of $300 million, with McCourt keeping the other half. The source said it has yet to be determined how that relationship will work and whether the new ownership group still will be forced to lease the McCourt-owned half of the lots.”

Joba Chamberlin suffered a gruesome, bone-through-skin ankle dislocation because he was jumping on a trampoline with his son. Now there’s gonna be a lot of people saying that a man a donut shy of 300 pounds should never get on a trampoline, or that most parents just watch their children while they bounce, but OH MY GOD! TRAMAMPOLINE! TRAMBOPOLINE!

Anybody got a caption for this photo?
Nobody else cares about the Royals, so why should the Royals themselves?
The Orioles are paying their respects to the past this season, wearing an awesome patch to celebrate 20 years of Camden Park (n.b. the subtle warehouse nod). This is of course in addition to the triumphant return of the cartoon bird logo to the Baltimore uniforms
How else can they rekindle the glory days? Unfortunately running Peter Angelos out of town on a rail isn’t feasible, so maybe they should bring back the Oriole girls

It’s not much, but for all those fans unable to get down to FL. or out to AZ. to see your team at Spring Training, here’s a little taste.
Just hearing the smack of the pitch into the catcher’s mitt should (hopefully)get you to Opening Day.
