Not that this excuses Milton Bradley for his behavior in Sunday’s contest against the San Francisco Giants, but Mike Winters, the first-base umpire whom the Padres claimed provoked the incident, has been suspended by MLB for the remainder of the 2007 regular season.

Kosuke Fukudome of the Chunichi Dragons has been getting a fair amount of play as a potential impact outfielder should he cross the pond. Jackson compares him to […]
Most of the pennant races became clearer over the weekend. Boston clinched a playoff spot, although whether it will be as AL East champion or AL wild card representative is yet to be determined. After winning on Sunday, the Yankees find themselves 1 1/2 games back of the Red Sox with seven to play, which […]
