There are 41 players in MLB who will each make more money this year than the entire Astros roster combined.

Chris Carpenter to speak about his health at a press conference, and at least one writer on Twitter hinting it's bad news

Carlos Pena might be the only player on that team that casual baseball fans have ever heard of

Such a shame.


He went from dominance to nothing. No decline period, just an inability to get back on the field because his injuries were that bad. You used to see that kind of career trajectory when sports medicine was primitive, but it's very rare now.

Watched a couple of innings. Beat up on some team from Texas--Wilie College, it's an HBC, with much of their team hailing from Puerto Rico, and they're an NAIA team. Lots of errors on both sides, and saw a passed ball on strike three end up with a run scoring and the hitter on second base.

Great to watch baseball, regardless.
