New York, NY, November 4, 2009 – Eleven organizations from the US, Palestine and Israel have called on baseball's New York Mets to cancel a November 21st dinner at the Caesars Club at Citi Field for the Brooklyn-based Hebron Fund.

Browse more photos » Atlanta Braves starter Kenshin Kawakami took one month of the regular season to adjust to American baseball. His April starts produced a 7.06 ERA.

Red Reporter has some suggestions about how to fix MLB's unlevel playing field. I really like that realignment idea. You could group it according to market size so it looks like this: American League AL Large Bankee$ Red Sox Angels Rangers AL Medium Tigers Indians Blue Jays Orioles White Sox AL Small Rays Royals Twins A's Mariners National League NL Large Mets Dodgers Giants Chub$ Deadbirds NL Medium...

DANIEL VICTOR - New York Yankees baseball fans seem content to punch the repeat button - Patriot-News Victor, a Phillies fan, State College native and Penn Stater (I've linked to him before) went to game 6 at Yankee Stadium. He compares and contrasts the atmosphere in New York as opposed to Philadelphia in 2008. Yankees fans were happy, but not exuberant, it seems -- well behaved too, aside from some...
Late in the summer of 1980 I was playing guitar in this band with this girl and her manager suggested that it would be a smart move for us all to move to New York so we did. The first week we were here we played a gig at the Ritz (now known by it's original name Webster Hall) that was filmed for the movie " Urgh-A Music War "). That was quite an event but another event from the end of that...
Philadelphia sports fans are taught from a very early age to despise all other teams -- and their own, too. So Yankee-hating has always seemed weird to me. I can understand why Red Sox fans hate the Yanks. They are rivals for the same prize each year. I can see why Mets hate the Yanks. Being a perennial number two in the same racket in the same town can blot the sunshine out of life. Take it from a...
Manny Ramirez is coming back to the Dodgers next season. The team said Friday that the slugger exercised his $20 million contract option for 2010. Agent Scott Boras informed General Manager Ned Colletti of the decision, which Ramirez had until this month to make.
Last season the Red Sox spent more than $20 million less on their payroll than they did in 2007. With the current economic climate the team does not have the income it had two years ago. NESN viewership is down meaning ad revenue is down. In addition John Henry's hedge fund is hemorrhaging money, so much so that he had to lay off a quarter of his staff . He has entered into other areas like Nascar...
Johan Santana forced the Twins to trade him last year since he longed to pitch in a market where his skills can be appreciated and magnified. The Twins knew they had no chance of getting anything for him no matter how hard Bill Smith tried his best in creating a market for the prized ace. The [...]
"I kind of see Murphy being a little better hitter right now, so Tatis could go that way," Manuel said, referring to Tatis being used in right field against southpaws. "It all depends on how well they're doing. If they're not getting hits, they're not going to play." Manuel clearly sounded as if he feels Church has more to prove to him than Murphy.
