Washington, DC -- In the waning days of the Bush Administration, Vice President Dick Cheney has few regrets. The salty yet savvy second-in-command revealed some of his complex inner feelings, however, during a recent interview by Fox News reporter Chris Wallace. Mr. Cheney grew visibly impatient and annoyed when the newsman prodded him with questions about Guantanamo detainees, expansion of the executive branch's power, and presidential authority to access the nation's nuclear codes when dispuA Long Road for the Pirates

Some quiet teams have playoff aspirations while others are just hoping for tangible progress for the year. The Pittsburgh Pirates are an organization with hopes for progress in 2009.

Pedro Feliz starting against right-handed pitching tops the list of things we complained about in 2008. Poor Pedro. Despite his excellent glove, a winning record in games started and a collection of clutch hits, Beerleaguer expressed little love for the strong, silent type. If 2008 didn’t end in the club’s second world title in franchise history, it would go down as the season we bitched, bitched and bitched some more about Pedro and plenty of other stuff.

When it comes to pitching new ideas, or new business, do social media evangelists follow their own advice? Convincing businesses to use tools and strategies they barely understand can be challenging at best, even for the most respected social media experts. Before we even begin to have the dreaded ROI discussion, we often have to explain the basics of how social media works; the basic paradigm shift necessary to deliver company messages within a dialogue, instead of a monologue, as welCarrie Christmas to All!
And to all a new Muskbag. It’s tough coming up with content during the offseason, particularly when the only thing to talk about in regards to the Hot Stove is whether it would be cheaper to sign Mark Teixeira or build your own Mark Teixeira cyborg. If you try, make sure you don’t monkey around by programming a sense of right and wrong. And for God’s sake don’t give him weapons training. Anyhow, it’s apparently even tougher for the Muskrat to reach into her giant bag of goodies and pull out somLSU Tops Collegiate Baseball 2009 Division I Pre-season Poll
USA - Louisiana State University has been ranked No. 1 in Collegiate Baseball newspaper’s Fabulous 40 pre-season NCAA Division I baseball poll. Not since Louisiana State put together a run of five national championships from 1991-2000 have the Tigers been this loaded with talent. LSU features five Louisville Slugger pre-season All-Americans from a team that finished fifth at the College World Series last season. The players include: 1.

Mark Redman bounces back from 10 first inning runs. How many pitchers are left to suffer through a 10-run inning (Rockies did it twice in 2008), let alone allowed to continue into the next frame? That’s exactly what happened to Mark Redman on this crappy night in Los Angeles. Well, not exactly what happened. Redman was allowed to pitch FIVE more innings. You see, the Rockies were in the 12th day of 16 straight without a day off. On the 3rd day, Colorado played 22 innings in San Diego. A Boston Red Sox 2009 Minor League Coaches

Via the AP - Pitcher Chien-Ming Wang and the New York Yankees avoided salary arbitration when they agreed Monday to a $5 million, one-year contract. The 28-year-old right-hander was 8-2 with a 4.07 ERA in 15 starts last season before injuring a foot while running the bases at Houston in mid-June. He did not return. Wang made $4 million last season after losing in salary arbitration. He had asked for $4.6 million. Fair deal and a good move by both sides. Now, Worm Killer can concentrate on pFirst You Say It, Then You Do It, Players
A colleague asked me today if the Yankees should sign Mark Teixeira. My answer: “I dunno. He wants $20 million a year for something like 8 years or more. That’s alotta money and seasons.” “Exactly” answered the colleague. He continued with “If you’re going to make $20 million or more a year, then you better be the best in the game at your position. Is Teixeira the best first baseman in baseball?” Quickly, I answered “Not as long as some guy named Albert Pujols is around.” To that, my colleaguHa, I just noticed this.

Despite the Yanks’ $240-million pitching binge, FoxSports’ Dayn Perry still seems them as a third-place team. As a few other commentators have noted, the team’s defense isn’t still and the offense is no sure thing. But while Perry may have a point about the Yanks, Nick over at YFSF pinpoints the problems with Perry’s piece. The FoxSports scribe seems to be evaluating the Yankees in a vacuum without questioning how the Rays or Red Sox will perform next year. As Nick writes, “A lot of pundits are |
