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.
