Jeff Blair mentioned yesterday that the Blue Jays, led by Shaun "North Of Steeles" Marcum, are seeking approval from GM J.P. Ricciardi to get a clubhouse monkey for the coming season.

The injury list is up to 16 now.  The Mets are downplaying the status of the injuries.  I’m getting more and more concerned about the ‘08 season.  All of these injuries are overshadowing our acquisition of Santana.  It was supposed to be an easy season, but we need our A-team to play for that to

Major League Baseball continued to make a mockery of itself today in Congress.  Clemens is toast, but I knew that already.  Every time he says a sentence, he makes the situation worse.  I enjoyed the mockery because I always thought Clemens was a piece of crap since he cried after losing to the Mets
