Below is the top 10 overall finishes in MLB over the course of the 2008 season (either American League or national League results).

... manager Tony La Russa might not return. And if the team falls into a deeper rut, first baseman Albert Pujols could depart when his contract expires following the 2011 season. La Russa would be a natural for the Reds, where he could reunite with two former Cardinals executives, general manager Walt Jocketty and owner Bob Castellini. After this season, Dusty Baker will have only one...

Let's take a look at the latest from Ken Rosenthal. The Dodgers won't go after Adam Dunn until they exhaust their options with Manny Ramirez. Rosenthal likes the Dunn-L.A. match.

... But really, that's a lot of white folks. George Will couldn't throw a bone to Ryan Howard or Albert Pujols and integrate the party a bit?

I assume former Rangers owner and self-proclaimed baseball lover George Bush and the boys chatted about the national pastime instead of national security. Perhaps Bush asked Maddon for...

I think there is an impression that Howard is a young player because he hasn't been on the scene that long. He's the same age as Albert Pujols, however.

... If you’re unsure about this, just look at the tree trunks anchoring guys like Alex Rodriguez and Albert Pujols . If at age 18 his legs are already extremely strong, I can’t imagine how much power they’ll be able to generate as his body continues to mature.

It’s first and ten again. Most years New Years just sort of happens. It arrives. Getting out of 2008 felt like we went for it on 4th and 13 deep inside our own territory. We pulled the goalie and went with a sixth attacker. We sent an injured Albert Pujols to pinch hit for our [...] Related posts: A Uniquely American Despotism When I first read Alexis de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America,”...
