It never fails

Mention how great a guy is doing -- i.e. Fernando Rodney -- and watch it come to an end soon thereafter. Oh well.

O's Fever? Is that anything like bird flu?

Pudge played his first-ever game at first base, and did well. But his quote afterward in the Detroit News doesn't make it sound like he's planning on staying in Motown beyond 2007, when his contract expires. Said Pudge: "Doing this kind of thing is good because managers, general managers and owners can see that I can play another position and they can have my bat pretty much every day. So it's good for me to do this."

Jim Leyland said he never thought about moving Jones from the closer role, noting that he wouldn't panic that soon.
