It's amazing that with just 20 days until the start of spring training, their remains over 100 unsigned free agents.
That's mind boggling...
Remember during the last strike, when the season started so late that there were 150 or so free agents that were never able to negotiate...

Murphy has earned his manager's endearment by batting .412 in September, by batting .455 as a pinch-hitter and by batting .359 overall. And given Manuel's propensity to play Murphy whenever possible, those sample sizes have grown to significant levels.
Even more impressive...

A lot has already been written here about Cubs broadcasters Steve Stone and Chip Caray. One was a baseball genius who clearly felt that he was slumming it with the Cubs and the other was an opportunistic dope living off his family legacy. Between years of predicting pitches and plays...

Rehab: Chase Utley and Pedro Feliz are both mending well, with each aiming to be ready by Opening Day. Feliz's surgery and rehab was/is less extensive than Utley's, and he'll likely be ready to go shortly after spring training begins. Chase, the uber-tough-ass he is, was...

Minaya will go back to work
If the Mets were all-in with general manager Omar Minaya, they had to be all-in with manager Jerry Manuel. It was Manuel who turned the mood positive and got the Mets playing productively after he replaced Willie Randolph in mid-June, so he was rewarded...

The Mets continue their home stand by taking on the Marlins for a three-game set starting tonight. They beat the last-place Padres two out of three by a whisker (moving up to two games behind the Phils), and a 1-5 road trip preceded that. It's time for them to get on a roll, and...

Last night's game was an 11-0 shellacking. Where have we seen that before? Oh yeah, against Washington (10-5), Pittsburgh (13-1), Atlanta (11-4), San Francisco (10-2) and so on. These types of games happen, but if you want to be a playoff contender, you can't get blown out...
