Anaheim, Calif. -- Who's on third?



That question seemed to flummox the umpire Tim McClelland on Tuesday night when two Yankees -- Jorge Posada and Robinson Cano -- arrived at the base, but not exactly on it.



The 2009 playoffs have at times been one big slapstick routine for Major League Baseball's umpires, who have executed some calls with all the clarity of Abbott and Costello. McClelland and his crew provided  ...</description>

After a stellar stint in Japan, Colby Lewis wants to return to pitch in the Major Leagues again. 



Nikkan Sports reported Monday that Lewis, citing family health problems, turned down an offer from his previous club, the Hiroshima Carp, and will be headed back to the U.S. in hopes of landing on a big league roster for the 2010 season. 



Based on how Lewis performed in Japan, he could draw interest from Major League teams.

			<description>Reinforced helmets debuting around Majors

Withstands 100 mph pitches; mandatory in Minors in '10



By Tom Singer / MLB.com



08/31/09 10:25 AM ET



In the wake of several recent harrowing beanings of Major League batters, Rawlings Sporting Goods is introducing a reinforced, heavier batting helmet designed to withstand 100 mph fastballs.



The aptly named S100 helmets will become mandatory wear in the Minor Leagues next season.



But Rawlings has shipped six of them to each of  ...</description>

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- Zach D'Errico thought Steve Lyons was coming over to him to flip him a baseball or maybe sign an autograph when Lyons approached him as he hung from the railing in the right-field stands.

Amateur draft moves to prime time



Associated Press



NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball's amateur draft is shifting to prime time.



The commissioner's office said Tuesday that this year's draft will start at 6 p.m. on June 9 and be held at the studios of the MLB Network in Secaucus, N.J.



There will be 111 picks on the first day, which includes the first three rounds mixed in with two compensation rounds.



Rounds 4 through 30 are scheduled  ...</description>

Once, he was everywhere. Now he's nowhere.



Once, he was The Man. Now he's just the Invisible Man.



Once, he was the most high-profile player in his entire sport. Now Barry Bonds is so low-profile, he could be a plot line on &quot;Without a Trace.&quot;



We know Bud Selig isn't out shopping for &quot;wish you were here&quot; cards for his favorite history-maker these days. But it sure seems strange to be starting another baseball season without the home  ...</description>

			<description>SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- The father of a south-central Missouri baseball player who died after being hit by a wild throw said Friday that he doesn't blame the pitcher.



Mike Clegg said he hugged the Lebanon High School player whose pitch hit 16-year-old Patrick Clegg and told him it was an &quot;absolute aberration&quot; and a freak accident and he shouldn't hold himself responsible.



&quot;I hope that that leads to him believing that he is going the right direction and get back out there  ...</description>

Baseball's beauty wins out in 2008

After all these years, game still surprises, unifies fans worldwide



By Tom Singer / MLB.com



A year in the life ... 365 days in the continuum. No beginning, no end, an endless loop of memorable moments, around the horn or around the bases, uplifting or demoralizing.



For baseball, 2008 began with repudiation, placed in front of a Congressional inquiry into the use of performance-enhancing drugs, and from there unfolded as a reaffirmation  ...</description>

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic -- Sammy Sosa is still waiting for an offer to play in the major leagues, according to a report published by Dominican newspaper Listin Diario.



Sosa, who previously had expressed his intention to retire from baseball after the next World Baseball Classic in March, believes he can still have an impact at the major league level.

Postseason of change



Like autumn leaves, the baseball landscape is changing colors.



There will be no important October baseball in New York for the first time since 1993, but both Los Angeles teams are in the same postseason for just the second time ever.



This fall's cast brings a host of other juicy story lines, too -- from a fat cat seeking seconds (the defending champion Red Sox) to the hungry (the Brewers and Rays never have won a World  ...</description>

			<description>Who should win the AL Cy Young award. I know everyone loves Cliff Lee and his 22 wins and ML-leading ERA and it'll probably be unanimous. Halladay looks to be second. Who should win?





Call me insane, but after closer inspection I would give the award to.....Roy Halladay.



Here's why....

While his ERA (2.78) is worse than Lee's (2.54), it's reasonably close. While he has fewer wins (20) than Lee (22) he is still a 20-game winner and that's pretty impressive. Here's what makes Halladay  ...</description>

Baseball comes together again for 9/11

Special ceremonies, charitable donations to mark occasion

In the book, &quot;Love, Greg &amp; Lauren,&quot; there are at least 13 references to baseball. It is one way Greg Manning talked to his wife, Lauren, while she was in a coma and then during her immediate recovery after suffering burns over 80 percent of her body in somehow escaping the World Trade Center that morning of Sept. 11, 2001.

Ten years have passed since that Sept. 8 night at Busch Stadium when Mark McGwire hit No. 62 on the way to 70 home runs in 1998.



&quot;Can you believe that? God, time flies by,&quot; McGwire said Friday from his Southern California home.

Extra special: American League wins in 15 innings

Boston's J.D. Drew earns MVP honors in the longest All-Star Game in history.

NEW YORK -- Accustomed to the spotlight, it was as if Yankee Stadium, in its final year, refused to let go. So it didn't.



The night even included a 14th-inning stretch.



The result was a great All-Star Game, and yet another American League  ...</description>

			<description>MLB Investigating Betting, Bonus-Skimming Scandals



By Tim Dierkes [July 14 at  9:00am CST]





Cheers to MLB for following George Mitchell's suggestion and creating an investigative unit.  It's already helping to crack down on a couple of serious scandals, along with the FBI.  I also like ESPN's hiring of Mark Fainaru-Wada and T.J. Quinn.  If I had something to hide, I wouldn't want these guys on the case.

In fact, the Diamondbacks currently lead the division with a record of 42-43.

Craig Biggio left Major League Baseball on his own terms. He joined the 3,000-hit club last June, took a farewell tour with the Astros and retired at the end of the 2007 season. Now he's ready to embrace a new role as coach of his son Conor's baseball team at St. Thomas High School in Houston.

McALLEN, Texas (May 23) - Even though small independent baseball leagues notoriously try to draw fans with promotions like "vasectomy night" and "midget wrestling," these two teams had good reason to swap a right-handed pitcher for 10 bats.



The Calgary Vipers of the Golden Baseball League couldn't get newly signed pitcher John Odom into Canada for immigration reasons. And the Laredo Broncos  ...</description>

			<description>Piazza retires after 19 seasons



BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Mike Piazza is retiring from baseball following a 19-season career in which he became one of the top-hitting catchers in history.



"After discussing my options with my wife, family and agent, I felt it is time to start a new chapter in my life," he said in a statement released by his agent, Dan Lozano. "It has been an amazing journey."



The 39-year-old Piazza was not on a team this season.

			<description>What ur opinion on dh rule?  I think its stupid.  Pitchers need to bat like in old days and nl.  I apploud leyland for using sheff in OF.  Guys making millions should do more than just hiting.  If they cant play field they need retire.  Pitchers can bat look Micah Owings.  Average .417 1 homerun.  4 homerun last year.  He could prolly bat every day and b good.  Y only do half job?  Thoughts.</description>

			<description>U.S. GM not considering Clemens for Olympics

May 8, 2008



Roger Clemens isn't welcome on the U.S. Olympic baseball team.



U.S. general manager Bob Watson said yesterday that he isn't considering the right-hander, 45, for his roster for the Beijing Games. "We don't need that type of distraction," Watson said.



In addition to his duties as vice president of on-field operations for Major League Baseball, Watson is general manager of professional baseball operations for USA Baseball.
