Ah, finally
the last Link-O-Rama that doesn't feature real games until November:
• From the Times, fantastic panoramic looks at Citi Field and the new Yankee Stadium.
• Huston Street has aced out Manny Corpas as Colorado's closer, and everyone is saying the right things. I don't think they can go wrong with those two, regardless of who's pitching the eighth and who's pitching the ninth. Street did finish last season with a so-so ERA, but his strikeouts were fine and he finished strong.
• As Geoff Baker writes, the Mariners won't be the first modern team to go without a lefty in the bullpen
and one of the other teams was real good.
• Cito Gaston: one of Roger Clemens' biggest fans
not. But what's really funny about this story is that
it's based on something that's not true. Information rocks.
• It's been way, way too long since I've linked to Cardboard Gods, where Josh Wilker writes as brilliantly about baseball and life as anyone ever has.
• Dave Cameron on the ethics of service-time manipulation.
• Here's the only performance enhancer you'll ever need
and it's not only legal, but available on almost every street corner in America.
