Ahh.. sugar, the natural buzz. My three year old spent three hours collecting candy, and ten minutes digesting enough where I could put a light bulb in his mouth and it would probably glow, he was so wired. Gotta love Halloween.

You may have noticed that I have shut off comments on the blog. Unfortunately, MLBlogs is using a horribly outdated version of TypePad for our blogging platform and I have better things to do than to monitor comments for profanity, spam, and stupidity.
However, MLB is in the middle of changing to a new format this winter which will include tools to keep kiddies and spammers at bay so, until they roll it out, feel free to email me (link is on the right sidebar).

Since I have so many Blackberry and other cellphone viewers now, I’ve made the site available to you via plusmo.

Paul Meyer is six days late but at least he got the story right – it seems Farrell is staying in Boston as our source suggested he would about week ago.
Joey Cora? Another dredge from the bottom of the sea. But what a reunion it would be if Cora was to become manager and A-Rod signed as a free agent. Wow – just think of the giveaways we could have, like crying towel day! Isn’t it a bit odd though that nobody seems to care about the Pirates wish to keep their manager search quiet? The guys you hear about are the guys who won’t get the job since Frank Coonelly and Robert Nutting take offense to such nonsense, as the GM search showed us.
But hey – this guy is available!
As we’ve said before, it’s looking like it’s Jewitt’s job. In this case, it could be he’ll get it by default.

What does it say for an organization that rebuilds it’s front office with a new CEO and GM and then an editor for Major League Baseball comes out and says:
"The Pittsburgh Pirates may be the worst-run organization in baseball at this point."
Ok, it’s slapstick – he was talking about the last 15 years.
Right? Right?
How ironic.

Pirate fans are licking their chops looking at the MLB free agent list but the list they need to be watching hasn’t been released yet – the MiLB six-year free agent list.
I didn’t think Chacon was going to be ranked as a "B" player but I thought he had a chance. Elias released their rankings today for the National League. So much for even a little compensation.. we might as well resign him. The fans will be shocked to see Paulino listed as an "A" player. Good for him.. he’s worked hard, albeit he still has a ways to go.

Great – just what we need, Curt Schilling with the Cubs, as is being mildly rumored.
And what’s with the Mets picking up a $7.5MM option on Moises Alou? Wow.. considering he’s a half-a-season guy anymore, that’s a lot of money for a two-win guy. I guess the game has gone past $3.8MM per win in most circles now or Alou is worth more at 41 than I think he is.
