Now dis would be funny! PODZZZIE to the CUBZ!

A's must have wanted too much for Shannon Stewart...

Hendry must have finished off the pizza and has moved onto the chicken wings dipped in bleu cheese...

The Cubs put in a waiver claim on Scott Podsednik and could be attempting to work out a trade for the left fielder. If acquired, Podsednik would probably become the Cubs' primary left fielder and leadoff man until Alfonso Soriano returns. He'd figure to have a diminished role and value if Soriano could return in September.

Corms, come in off the ledge - don't throw your life away over this.

Maybe it's a Sign to Get Out.

Army to expand recruiting incentives.

Does anyone have him?

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- In spring training 2005, Rick Ankiel launched his new career as a 26-year-old minor-league outfielder. In his first game back in the major leagues, he launched one out of the ballpark.
Ankiel's three-run homer capped a storybook return and Joel Pineiro worked seven scoreless innings in the St. Louis Cardinals' 5-0 victory over the San Diego Padres on Thursday night.
"Unbelievable," Ankiel said. "You almost can't put that into words."

Sarge, hurry!

Anyone been breathing lately?

MSNBC, which recently reported that a major heat wave was "hitting both rural areas and cities," now reports that another major heat wave is causing difficulties for "anybody who has to deal with breathing, which is just about everybody."

Of course, this won't affect vampires, such as Dick Cheney and Larry King.

Shannon Stewart was reportedly claimed off waivers by the Cubs, giving the A's a choice of either negotiating a trade or pulling Stewart back from the waiver wire. "I heard something like that," Stewart said. "I really don't know what to say about it. I like the guys here. I like the team here."

an inauspicious debut

(For "anonymous posters," debut means new - as this was B.H. Kim's first start for Arizona. Do you understand that? If so, we'll try to explain "inauspicious" tomorrow, but i'm not hopeful.)
