Ichiro calls Cairo the best number 2 hitter he's encountered in the USA. Really? Whaaaa?

Tough to get excited about a guy like Hillenbrand, but if your options are guys like Cairo, Josh Phelps and Mientkiewicz, then I guess I can understand. Actually, I take that back. Is this the best that they can do? Try harder Cashman.

Acquiring Figgins and Molina would fill two huge holes on the Yankee bench. Miguel Cairo and Wil Nieves have given Joe Torre zero reason to pencil them in the lineup on anything more than an emergency-basis. Adding two serviceable bench players would allow the manager the luxury of resting his   more...

Veteran lefthander Jamie Moyer and Adam Wainwright, both with identical 13-11 season marks, dueled for 5 innings before each team notched a run in the 6th inning. But with two outs and a runner on 2nd base in the 10th, closer Brett Myers was tagged for the game-winner on catcher Yadier Molina's   more...

Phillies ace lefthander Cole Hamels made his return from the DL going 3 innings giving up 3 runs on 5 hits, but it took a 14th inning winning RBI single by pinch hitter Rod Barajas, rightfielder Jayson Werth's 3 RBIs â€" 2 of them with his 14th inning triple, an unlikely 2 inning clutch relief   more...

Theoretically, Hillenbrand would be an upgrade over the Miguel Cairo/ Josh Phelps experiment, however the 31-year-old veteran has seen his playing time decrease in Anaheim this season with the emergence of the Angels' Casey Kotchman. Shea is batting .246 with three homers and 18 RBIs in a paltry   more...

Joe Torre has had a recent habit of pulling Jason Giambi in the late innings for a pinch runner with the hope of getting that player, who's probably a bit faster than the lumbering Giambi, around to home. Unfortunately, this has cost the Yanks in the late innings as players like Kevin Thompson and   more...

Miguel Cairo: completely pointless. Chris Reitsma: pointless, but understandable.

The Mariners sign Miguel Cairo to a one year deal. Horrible, horrible move. Does this mean Jeff Clement or Mike Morse are about to be traded?

We can't say we've read this one yet, because we haven't, but we can say that this might be the least possible interesting topic for any baseball fan, including Mets and Yankees fans. Pretty sure neither one has/was never really accepted by their respective fan bases, and neither one is interesting   more...
