Joe Namath vs. Keith Hernandez in cameo showdown
WatchdogMy recent blog and Facebook posts on memorable TV cameos in which jocks play themselves yielded plenty of input, including some oddball appearances I had not been aware of - or conveniently forgot for the sake of my mental......Tags: Facebook, Leo Durocher, The Munsters (tv program), Sandy Koufax, Ernie Banks

Manuel, Wright not fans of Franco
On the Mets beatJohn Franco was still pitching for the Mets in 2002 when Keith Hernandez got himself in hot water with the players by saying they had "no heart" and "quit" on the season.

48 hours
On the Mets beatThat's the time it took for the Mets to do a complete 180 and go from Yankee-killers to road kill. I spent roughly 15 hours at Turner Field yesterday witnessing every gory detail of the Braves' doubleheader sweep and I......Tags: Miami Marlins, Injuries and Wounds, Marlon Anderson, New York Mets, Spring Training

Mike Piazza pushes himself further from Dodgers with Vin Scully comments
Mike Piazza would never exist today. He would have to be created by the Hollywood machine that once embraced him. He was taken in the 62nd round of the 1988 baseball draft. There are no longer 62 rounds in the draft. He was given a private tryout at a...Tags: San Francisco Giants, Vin Scully, Los Angeles Dodgers, Kobe Bryant, New York Mets

Jeff Jacobs: Reign Delay - Nobody Gets In Hall This Year, And That's Good
The Hartford CourantIn the 144-year narrative of our national pastime, five men have hit 60 home runs in one season. Henry Aaron never did it. Willie Mays never did it. One did it three times.

A case for Tim Raines and Hall of Fame
I don't envy the job the Baseball Writers' Association of America members have in choosing the 2013 Hall of Fame class. This year they must contend with the "steroid ballot" as names such as Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mike Piazza and Sammy Sosa...

It was one of the only moments in Monday's Dodgers news conference that didn't require translation.
