I want to be my usual painstaking, cautious, slow, conservative self in analyzing it.

On behalf of Major League Baseball, I am terribly saddened by the sudden passing of Kirby Puckett. He was a Hall of Famer in every sense of the term. He was revered throughout the country and will be remembered wherever the game is played. Kirby was taken from us much too soon - and too quickly.

I do have a lot of concerns but I am happy to say the Mets aren't one of them.

How lucky have we been that the face of baseball for the past two decades, through ups and downs, has been Derek Jeter.

The appetite for more instant replay in the sport is very low.

You mean guys don't get injured in spring training? Guys get hurt walking down the street.

The one thing we know today is we can't continue to do business the way we have in the past.
