Angels try to buy World Series title with mercenaries.

Zack Grienke may disrupt clubhouse chemistry and, ummm, the Angels hit too many homeruns:

"You think anybody is going to want to play the Angels in a short series now that they’ve added Zack Greinke?

Because I kind of don’t."

The Mets.

The Mets would rather play the Angels in a short playoff series than finish 25 games out of first place.


If Alex Rodriguez was really lucky, maybe he'd be attacked by flesh-eating bacteria:

"Alex Rodriguez called it a 'tough break' when he broke his hand the other night, hit by a King Felix Hernandez pitch.

Actually, it was a great break.

Because when he comes back, whenever he comes back, when he starts a new season that will take him through the playoffs, A-Rod has a chance to make THAT season the one Yankee fans remember.

Not the ordinary season he was having right before he turned 37."

Wow.

Mike Lupica is really a dick.


Look, I know ARod's season has been quite bad in some respects: RBIs, hitting with RISP, etc. "Ordinary," if you wish.

But it wasn't so bad that a broken hand is better.

That's a demented way of looking at things.
