]]> Just a few items of note for you this afternoon:

  • Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard won his arbitration case and has been awarded $10 million for 2008. This is the largest amount ever received by a victorious player.
  • You may be aware that my colleague, Hunter Pence, was injured in a freak accident earlier this week. He’s got the details up at his blog. Here’s wishing Hunter a speedy recovery.
  • Another colleague, Albert Bianchi at Dejuiced, informs us that New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes will be giving up a celebratory handshake thing he used to do. I can’t speak to that because I don’t follow the Mets closely, but I will say that the photo Albert chose to accompany his story is priceless. Seriously, if the Mets ever get tired of playing baseball, they might try their hand at putting on a musical.

Ugh. Play some games already. I’m getting bored…
