Mientkiewicz batted .250 (4 for 16) with a double, and RBI, two walks and four strikeouts. The Marlins had to make a quick call on Mientkiewicz. His deal included a one-day out clause for...

Mientkiewicz Rehab Includes Pigskin

Stan Conte and Doug Mientkiewicz throw the football at Dodger Stadium before the Dodgers' July 1 game.

My first brush with a no-no as a fan came in the summer of 1990, when Doug Drabek tossed eight and two-thirds innings of hitless ball against the Phillies.

Well, everyone has been complaining that the Pirates front office hasn't done anything of significance this year, and, well, they still haven't.
