One wouldn't think that this would be classified
as "news," necessarily, but we still find it noteworthy,
and kind of sad: Julio Franco has officially announced his retirement. Well, we think so, anyway; the story has only been reported by the official site of the Mexican League, where Franco had been peddling his wares. And it's all in Spanish. We tried translating it through Babelfish, ...

SAN DIEGO - That Julio Franco found work
with the Atlanta Braves isn't surprising. What was surprising,
however, were the lack of references, especially when it came to the "clubhouse leadership" issue. Manager Willie Randolph said Franco should get ...

Well, there you have it. The Mets, my
Mets, who once looked like the perfect team, Bradgelina
if you will, are going through what looks like a clubhouse shift that could completely destroy this team. The catcher, the unquestioned leader, the heart and soul of the club doesn't want to come back and our manager doesn't have the hots for the centerfielder.

Exactly a month ago to this day, our
very own Epic Carnival writer and creator of Nyjer
Please, Luke Halpert made an "outlandish post" about a racial divide in the Mets clubhouse and said that Julio Franco was the ring leader. No pun intended. Luke's exact words were these: Secondly, Julio Franco, who recently celebrated his 89th birthday, is becoming a "clubhouse cancer". Since the losing..

"After seeing fellow countryman Miguel Tejada come clean
about his age, I have decided that it was
only fair to reveal the truth about myself. All those years that I was playing, I was really older than I said."

The Mets won last night, but clearly, something's
going wrong with that team, sublimely timed for the
Sports Illustrated cover jinx. Over at Nyjer Please, they've got some "inside" info that the team no longer gets along. And the problem seems to be ... Julio Franco?

Remember we got bashed around the blogosphere for
this post? Well, there may have been some truth
to it. Both Willie Randolph and Jose Valentin bashed Franco and manager Willie Randolph even said "that clubhouse stuff is overrated" and Valentin told reporters that Franco was less than eager to participate in the team's pre-game stretching routine. We know that we don't expect to receive an ...

With the NBA playoffs heading down the toilet,
and as we begin the transition to baseball, we
asked ourselves a simple question. Is there anyone from the original RBI Baseball video game still playing in the majors? The answer is yes. Roger ...

NEW YORK -- For weeks, Julio Franco had
spoken privately of the need to find work elsewhere
and the need to get enough at-bats to allow him to continue his career and reach his objective of playing at age 50. He was convinced remaining in what he ...

The New York Mets are going younger. No,
I'm not talking about the recent addition of 41-year-old
Sandy Alomar Jr., a move that prompted most baseball observers to say, "Holy crap, I thought that guy retired five years ago." Nope, Julio Franco has been designated for assignment . Tiring of the fact that Franco was in danger of having his age be a higher number than his batting average, the ...

Paul Lo Duca seems to be very angry
lately. He went apeshit on umpire Marvin Hudson arguing
balls and strikes during Saturday's win over Oakland and was suspended two games for his actions. Following last nights rainout, Duke went off to the press about, of all things, the Latino ballplayers on the team and the New York press: Admitting he was "in a bad mood all day," Paul Lo Duca announced
