  4. Your Morning Phil: WBC, Appel, Torre

    MIAMI – Talking baseball while wondering how badly Tiger Woods blows away the field at Augusta: 1. Nothing against tulips, wooden shoes and Bert Blyleven, but I wish Monday’s 7-6 game in Tokyo had gone the other way. While it’s cool...

    Talking baseball while wondering if the Chicago Bears can win without Brian Urlacher: 1. Maybe the Angels knew what they were doing when they tried to get Carlos Marmol. Maybe another good offer will come along for him before too long. Dale Sveum...

  9. Brothers Upton could surpass the Waners

    If they hadn't been able to hit a baseball, <strong>Paul</strong> and <strong>Lloyd Waner</strong> probably would have made their living in cotton in their hometown, just east of Oklahoma City. But, man, could those guys hit.
