Time for Houston to end the Bourn Experiment?
allonthefield.blogspot.com — In 34 games, Houston leadoff hitter Michael Bourn leads the Majors in stolen bases with 17, but that's only because he steals just about every time he reaches base.

Does the fact that it would have been for third place really matter? (more) Making the case for a third place game in the NCAA Tourney

Now, when other talented players such as Cole Hamels, Nick Markakis, Prince Fielder and Jonathan Papelbon don't receive similar raises, they feel slighted. Or, in Hamels' words, "it's a low blow." But are these youngsters' expectations fair? (more) Show me the money: Pre-arbitration players unhappy with ...
