Gretzky's Mullet

They were funny the first time. Now it's a damned travesty that they aren't thrown out of the ball park for being a distraction and ruining the experience for every other fan and television viewer.

I'm not finding them to be a distraction or ruining an experience for a TV viewer. God, have some fun.

Just looking at the M's box last night....

Aside from Griffey and his .221 average, the M's lineup has looked pretty damn solid. Ichiro, Branyan, Lopez, and Gutierrez. A really like the addition of Jack Wilson so far too. Sucks the Angels keep on winning.

If Ryan Zimmerman played for anyone besides the Nationals, he would be recognized as one of the elite hitters in the game today.

Also, very interesting link for fans of statistical analysis. Did you know that Jarrod Washburn has the best fastball in the majors?

"Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder and Dodgers reliever Guillermo Mota were each levied fines by Major League Baseball but avoided suspensions for their actions during and after Tuesday's game at Dodger Stadium, according to Brewers media relations director Mike Vassallo. Major League Baseball has not yet announced the penalties. "

Report:Alex Rios claimed on waivers by unknown team

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4384253

A waiver claim has been placed on Toronto Blue Jays right fielder Alex Rios, according to Major League Baseball sources.

At a time when most teams have very little financial flexibility, it could be within the realm of possibility that the Blue Jays will consider a trade of Rios, who still has six years remaining on a seven-year, $69.35 million contract he agreed to in April 2008, or simply waive him to the team that claimed him.It is not yet known which team has been awarded the claim on Rios, but Rios might be on his way out of Toronto, one way or the other, because the Blue Jays may embrace the opportunity to shed his contract -- much in the same way they unexpectedly allowed the San Diego Padres to take reliever Randy Myers in a waiver claim more than a decade ago.

The Blue Jays, it appears, have three options, and must make a decision by next Tuesday, because the waiver period will roll through the weekend:

• They could work out a trade with the team that claimed Rios.

• They could pull him back from waivers, and keep him for themselves the rest of this season.

• They could simply allow the team that claimed him to take him, at no cost.
