I was not enthused when the Rangers signed Yovani Gallardo last winter, and he pitched up to my expectations the first two months of the season, but he was stellar in June. Big test at Baltimore this evening!

NEW YORK -- The New York Mets signed a pair of 16-year-old shortstops on the first day of the international signing period.

The Mets announced the signing of Dominican shortstop Gregory Guerrero, the nephew of former major leaguer Vladimir Guerrero. He received a $1.5 million signing bonus, according to MLB.com
The Mets also added Venezuelan shortstop Andres Gimenez for $1.2 million, CBSSports.com reported.

* (I know they can't )...but the lethargic Mets should bring him up immediately.

What is the name of scientific principal that holds that the mere act of observing an object's behavior change's that object's behavior? In any event, in order to test that principal I have put 200 vCash on the under of the Cubs at Mets tonight.

Halo Effect?

FYI: I put money on the under, too. I'm trying to break the Mets out of their slump, but it'll probably result in the Cubs winning 7-0

Don't Panik, Jose!

I would wear that, but these days I would resemble Elvis circa 1976.
