Unless it's agent bluster, comments from Rafael Furcal's representative that it will take a four-year contract to sign the shortstop mean it won't be happening with the Dodgers. Both Bay Area clubs and the Cubs, among others, ...

Pitcher Ryan Dempster and the Cubs agreed Tuesday on a four-year contract worth about $52 million. As the Cubs' closer from 2005-07, he saved 87 games in 102 chances. But after earning a spot in the rotation during spring training, Dempster returned to the starter's role he held with the Mar...

By Taj Adib Manny Ramirez - Dodgers - I live in Southern California and it was just mesmerizing seeing what Manny did to the Dodgers and their fans.

By Patrick Gallen The Phillies have a very strong team, the key word being team.  They genuinely care about each other and play as a team.  Perhaps later today we will find out the Phillies opponent for the World Series, which starts on Wednesday, October 22. It’s time to enjoy the World Series.

By Derek Kalani LOS ANGELES » Just one win from the World Series, the Phillies took their swings yesterday during batting practice.

These guys are fighting their hearts out, and I just told them to be back here on Wednesday and be ready to play baseball," Torre said. "We have to win the remaining games. We can only do it one at a time. I sense we'll be back here with the right attitude. These guys have been playing hard.

Anyhow, what really ticked me off, though, was to see a Joe Torre-led team engage in a brushback war and instigate a near brawl in last night’s game, after Brett (not Randy!) Myers went after Manny Ramirez and Russell Martin earlier in the series. As the News’ John Harper notes:
