Don’t mess with Karma


The Phillies are said to be interested in Gary Sheffield and/or Andruw Jones. Signing either of those guys would likely require the release of postseason hero Matt Stairs. Which is something you only do if the player coming in actually has a good shot at bringing something more to the table. Signing Sheffield (bad shoulder, bad wheels, bad attitude) or Jones (bad everything) however, would be an exercise in applied pipe dream studies.

Thankfully the fans in Philadelphia are an understanding, passive and oblivious lot and would never take issue with such a move.

Today at THT


You know it's getting down to the wire when the THT editors are racing to jam in as many team previews as we have today. Mmmmm . . . regular seasonlicious . . .

  • Lisa Gray has five questions for the Houston Astros. Question number six: What's the over/under on the number of days until some clever wag uses the "Houston, we have a problem" headline to describe this team? Seven? Twelve?


  • R.J. Anderson has five questions for the Tampa Bay Rays. Question number six: "Evan Longoria, your career has the momentum of a runaway freight train. What makes you so popular?"


  • Evan Brunell has five questions for the Baltimore Orioles. Question number six: Could Matt Wieters make a rock so big that he himself could not lift it?


  • Finally, over at Fantasy Focus, Jonathan Halket is asked to play roster doctor. Unfortunately, this patient has signed a DNR order, so there is nothing Jonathan can do except to make him comfortable until the end.


    • I can almost smell the grass, babies.
