** SÓLO estoy de paso por este pueblecito que llaman Nueva York, en misión de la Major League Baseball Writers Association of América. Pronto estaré de regreso en la ciudad de Latinoamérica más cercana a Estados Unidos, Miami...
** CHISTE...: Antes de construir en el D.F. mexicano el estadio que prometió públicamente hace cinco años para su equipo, los Diablos Rojos, Alfredo Harp Helú lo que hizo fue comprar parte de los Padres de San Diego. ¡Pobre afición de Ciudad de México, condenada al horrible Foro Sol!...
** La TV se infecta en las Grandes Ligas con más fuerza cada día. ESPN pagará desde 2014, por derechos que no incluyen pos-temporada, 11 mil millones 200 mil dólares por ocho años. Además, las Mayores venderán los playoffs y las Series Mundiales. Y también cada equipo vende o maneja con transmisiones propias, sus derechos locales...
** A KIRK Radomsky lo consideran "distribuidor de sustancias prohibidas" desde que fue obligado a dejar su trabajo como empleado en el clubhouse de los Mets porque le vendía esteroides y otras cosas a los peloteros. Por eso, han prohibido a los agentes de peloteros y a los jugadores mismos, todo contacto con él...
** ¡IMAGÍNATE!, han descubierto que el receptor Paul LoDuca abrió una cuenta bancaria exclusivamente para pagarle a Radomsky servicios de esteroides y hormonas de crecimiento humano. Se han descubierto no menos de tres cheques de esos, cada uno por tres mil 500 dólares...

** CIERTO, el triple es el batazo más difícil de lograr. Entre los 50 bigleaguers que han conectado más en la historia, solo hay un latinoamericano, Roberto Clemente, con 166. Y el líder, Sam Crawford, 309...
** EL MÁNAGER Oswaldo Guillén (Marlins), dijo acerca del catcher novato, Rod Brantly...: "Sufrimos sus errores, pero no es su culpa, es culpa del equipo, por subirlo y culpa mía por ponerlo a jugar"... ** ROBERTO Hernández (Indios) va bien en la recuperación del tobillo derecho. El mánager Manny Acta cree que no irá a la lista de los lesionados...
** LA GENTE de los Yankees está halándose las greñas. No solo acaban de perder una serie en Yankee Stadium con un equipo colista, 14 juegos bajo 500, los Blue Jays, sino que esta noche de viernes inician cadena de 17 encuentros con clubes peligrosos...: Primeramente en El Bronx con los Orioles (3), y después de visitantes en Tampa (3), Baltimore (4) y en Boston (3), más otra vez Rays (3), pero en el Yankee Stadium... Con todo y su primer lugar, éste puede ser el viaje que defina las cosas...

An image of Chicago Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood adorns the side of a building across the street from Wrigley Field, Thursday, Sept. 27, 2012 in Chicago. Even for a team with a record of futility unmatched in professional baseball and, heck, all of professional sports, this season has been one of the most dismal in Cubs history. About the only good thing that could be said about a team poised to lose 100 games for the first time in 46 years--one of which came after the shortstop trotted off the field thinking there were three outs instead of two--is that it is doing so in front of fewer fans than any year in the last decade.
