I'm a baseball fan in general, and I love performing in small towns," said Hung, who estimates that he accepts "seven or eight" minor league invitations per season. And then there's the Major League teams such as the Blue Jays and Dodgers who have invited him. "I love visiting new places and m...

So, um, let's go 'Stros! You may be getting decimated in Spring Training, but I'll still see you in San Diego for Opening Day. Hopefully by that time, the Steroidal Eye of Sauron will have turned its gaze elsewhere, and we can get back to the simple pleasures of hitting and catching and runnin...

Welcome To Barry's Inferno
• The Day Boston Won The East. When Red Sox fans look back and discuss the 2007 season — and they will — let it be known that Dustin Pedroia was the hero who staved off the Yankees' final troop surge.

Water Covers 70 Percent Of The Earth's Surface; Manny Covers The Rest
• But We Kid The Red Sox. Even though it suffered its first sweeping of the season, Boston is still in first in the AL East, a comfortable and luxurious nine games ahead of the Blue Jays.

If Detroit Pitchers Played All Nine Positions ...
• "Third base, Chone Figgins, Angels. He's finally settling into one position to be crappy at instead of sucking all over the diamond. After he fielded 3B at a sweet .878 clip last year, why wouldn't the Angels put him there every day? After all, he can show off his laser-rocket arm he's used to c...
