SO THE BASEBALL DOESN'T COUNT YET

...it can be interesting.

THEY CALL IT "THE CACTUS LEAGUE" FOR A REASON
Milwaukee Brewers reliever, Felix Rodriquez, was injured when he stepped on - you guessed it - a cactus. It's Arizona. Between the scorpions, the snakes, the burning sand and, of course, the cacti, why was he walking around barefoot?

OR CONSIDER THIS
"Angels third baseman Ian Stewart added to baseball’s litany of bizarre injuries when he sat out a spring-training game last week because of a bruised nose.Seems he was putting his 4-year-old daughter to bed — and she head-butted him."  -- Dwight Perry

THIS IS MY KIND OF PLAYER

There's a bunch of Seattle Mariner commercials, but you have to watch "Old School."

SOME PEOPLE NEVER LEARN
Mets pitching coach, Dan Warthen, in a futile attempt at humor, used a racial slur on a translator in the Mets clubhouse. Then he used the same slur two more times, during his apology!   

IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED...
Braves righthander, Kris Medlen, in honor of Frank Jobe, who invented it, will have a SECOND "Tommy John" surgery on his elbow. Enough is enough. Maybe you should start throwing with the other hand.

NOT HIS BEST EFFORT
Brewer pitcher Matt Garza gave up nine hits and 10 runs in 1 2/3 innings yesterday. "I'll be ready when the bell rings," said Garza. The rest of the National League can't wait.

FISK SHOULD JUST BUY THE BALL HIMSELF
The ball that Carlton Fisk hit to win the 6th game of the 1975 World Series, is going to be sold at auction. The scene of Fisk, hopping down the first base line, begging the ball to stay fair, is one of the greatest moments in WS history. The minimum bid has been set at $100,000. This will be the second time the ball has been auctioned off. The first time it sold for $113,273.

***THEY SAID IT***
"Sixers rookie guard Michael Carter-Williams has been listed as day-to-day. Just like whoever coaches the Cleveland Browns."  -- RJ Currie
"There was huge publicity given to the Iditarod this year, with cameras everywhere. I guess that explains the 27th-place musher: Danica Patrick."  -- Brad Dickson
" Mount St. Mary’s has reached the NCAA March Madness after going 16-16. But to be fair, in the NBA Eastern Conference, with that kind of record, the Mountaineers would probably be a #3 seed."  -- Janice Hough
"How you can tell the Philadelphia 76ers are having a bad season? Fans still wave foam fingers, but they’re a different finger."  -- Alan Ray
"A soccer match in Argentina was delayed when a dog ran onto the field to do his business. Bet there weren’t many takers when the coach suddenly asked, “So, who wants to play sweeper?”  -- Dwight Perry
