Rumblings around MLB

The "new and improved" Tigers finally won their first game of the season scoring 7 runs to beat the Red Sox. They had scored a total of 15 runs in their 7 games. They have a good team and it is still early for them to recover from the 0-7 start. After the Rockies string of wins last season, anything is possible.

Albert Pujols continues to pay through pain and you cannot tell. He just hit two homeruns last night, the man is a monster!

Fausto Carmona and the Indians agreed to a 7-year extension, does that signal the end of the line for Cy Young winner C.C. Sabathia? Sabathia and the Indians are far apart on a figure to keep him.

K-Rod's minor injury might prove to be a setback in contract negotiations with the Angels.

The Mets have hit the only snag that could keep such a powerful team down, injury. They have a lot of key cogs out that are keeping them in the middle of the pack.

Doug Davis beat the Dodgers with his arm and his bat before he underwent surgery to remove his cancerous thyroid.

Manny Ramirez, Rafael Furcal and Vladimir Guerrero are making early bids for either contract extensions or a nice contract in the offseason.

The Diamonbacks are doing it on both sides of the field and have only lost two games to hold a slight edge in the NL West.

Dodgers' ownership is doing everything in their power to lose fans with new autograph policies and yearly ticket price increases. Funny how once they took pride in having some of the least expensive tickets to watch a major league game.

The Orioles and Marlins are in first place in their divisions and the Athletics are in second. Too early to call, but these are the teams that are supposed to be in the gutter.
