Smoltz's return delayed?
"Braves ace John Smoltz still has inflammation and discomfort in his right shoulder, leaving him unsure when he'll be able to pitch again.
"It could be anywhere between the [late May] timetable I discussed and a lot longer," Smoltz told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for Monday's editions. Smoltz has been on the disabled list since April 29. He hopes...
Willie, oh poor Willie
Let it be stated for the record: Gonzoball loves Willie Randolph. For a while at least, he even made it hard to root against the Mets.

For something you love even more.
Willie Randolph Is Right. Race Is Always Going to Smell a Little Bit
It's not the blame game, it's not an excuse, it's not complaining. It's a natural reaction to our unnatural biases. So now that New York Mets manager Willie Randolph has issued an apology for commenting about his perceived difference in treatment in comparison to white managers, it calls into question the ability to react naturally.
So long, Mike
Today one of the greatest New York Mets off all time officially said goodbye to the game of baseball. Michael Joseph Piazza, most recently of the Oakland Athletics, announced his retirement, beginning the five year countdown to his Hall Of Fame induction. The only questions that remain are which hat, Mets or Dodgers, will adorn his plaque in Cooperstown--judging by Piazza's...

Ryan Church's forehead is the Karl Malone elbow.
