There's a lesson for us all when someone makes a spontaneous decision
that affects more than just him/herself: There will be untied loose
ends. I know, I sound like a serial killer covering his (or her, let's
be fair) tracks. In my case, when I made a quick decision to shun the
media - all media - this season in favor of communicating only on my
website, I forgot about certain
commitments that had previously been made.

 A week ago, it was suggested that the Yankees "beat" the Mets to Xavier
Nady and Damaso Marte (they did, for the record). Then out of nowhere,
Brian Cashman pulled a second highway robbery in acquiring future Hall
of Fame catcher Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez for streaky reliever Kyle
Farnsworth. In the meantime, the Phillies upgraded their rotation with Joe Blanton,
the Angels acquired Mark Teixeira from the Braves for Casey Kotchman,
the Dodgers picked up Casey Blake, the Indians grabbed Anthony Reyes,
and the Astros, of all teams, added Randy Wolf to their rotation.

 (Editor's Note) For weeks, MetsToday.com's Joe Janish, a former college
baseball player and coach at St Peter's, has been concerned about Mets'
right-hander John Maine's mechanics. On his own site, and on
GothamSportsRadio.com's “Live From Mickey Mantle's”, he has been quite
vehement in his ooinion about Maine's inconsistency being a mechanical
one, not a location (an opinion espoused by yours truly). With the
news that Maine has a mild strain og his rotator cuff, it seems like
Janish has been right along. Below is a story he wrote just before
Maine's injury on Monday night, and it's a damn good read. - MH
As mentioned by Lee Mazzilli a few weeks ago on SNY (and at MetsToday
last week), John Maine has a minor mechanical flaw in his delivery that
is causing his command to be off. In fact, that same flaw is likely the
reason for Maine's "shoulder stiffness"

(Editor's Note) Please join me in welcoming future Hall Of Fame pitcher Jimmy Scott to the Gotham family of writers. He's been a terrific pitcher for so long, and we've developed a great friendship over the years. It's a pleasure to have him on board. His perspective on all things baseball is quite amazing - MH
There are lots of rumors floating around. With the trading deadline coming upon us rather quickly, I thought this would be a good time to talk about something other than a team’s place in the standings. Today, I want to let you in on what it's like to be traded. I'll do it from three perspectives - Player, Wife and Kid.

Rumor Mill

 The biggest difference between the Winter Meetings and the July 31st
trade deadline Rumor Mill is the source of information. Given that free
agency and walk-year trades dominate in December, the player agents are
usually where the most accurate information comes from. However, at
the non-waiver trade deadline, there's no better source of info than
the scouts (who are actually being assigned players to monitor for said
trades) and the baseball execs who are fielding the very calls
pertaining to players and trades that on the record, they deny.

 (Editor's Note) Marty Appel wears a lot of hats. In addition to being the owner and President of Marty Appel Public Relations, he is one of the finest baseball authors working today. To my greatest delight, he also serves as a Senior Editor for Gotham Baseball Magazine. He is currently at Cooperstown for this weekend's Hall Of Fame induction ceremonies, so I thought it fitting to share this article by Marty on one of this weekend's inductees; former MLB Commissioner Bowie Kuhn (left). He worked with the late Kuhn in the former commish's 1987 memoir, "Hardball: The Education of a Baseball Commissioner." - MH

 The name Caleb Campbell may mean nothing to most Gotham Baseball
readers. Some might recognize the name once it is given some context,
but wonder how it impact Gotham Baseball. It also opens a whole can of
political issues, some of which could influence whom you would vote for
as President of the US.
Campbell, a 7th round selection of the Detroit Lions, played his
football at Army. He was planning on attending the Lions camp, with a
good shot at making the team, utilizing the Army’s Alternative Service
Orders, which allowed Campbell to play football while working as a
recruiter for the Army. Earlier this week, the Army rescinded that
policy, ending Campbell’s participation.
