During last night's Marlins/Astros game, Carlos in the sixth inning fouled off a pitch that broke a light in the Astros radio booth. Normally, that would be enough to get on this website but check out what happens three pitches later as Lee nearly hits teammate Jed Lowrie in the on-deck circle: Your browser does not support iframes.

Astros find impromptu closer in Brett Myers

Via Fox Sports Houston  |  May 09, 2012
After about a week of spring training it was determined that Brandon Lyon was not ready to reclaim the closer's role for the Houston Astros. He had come off arm surgery and was not at full strength. It might take at least a month or more of the regular season before he could be counted on to shut down games. So general manager Jeff Luhnow, manager Brad Mills, pitching coach...

Early trade candidates- National League

Via PRO Rumors  |  May 08, 2012
Just like the AL East, in the NL East every team has a chance to compete right now, and the gap between the first place (Nationals) and last place (Phillies) is just 5.0 games, so I'm not messing with teams from that division.
