Some really good stuff:

Some of my favorites:

June 11 -- Chicago White Sox players admit that after a full season with him, and despite his role in helping them win a World Series ring, they're starting to hate A.J. Pierzynski now, too, just like everyone else.

September 6 -- Dodgers manager Grady Little reverts to old habits by leaving starting pitcher Brett Tomko in until the eighth inning which, in Tomko's case, is eight innings too long.

Good stuff!

"May 9 -- Alex Rodriguez grants the wish of a dying child, who turns out to be from Boston, by striking out four times in a game against the Red Sox." tickled my funny bone.

I also liked the LoDucca/Piazza crack.

Hop on the Finley bandwagon!

August 1 -- The San Francisco Giants' locker room is closed before a home game against the Nationals due to a sewage leak. It is quickly re-opened, however, after Moises Alou volunteers to clean up the mess with his bare hands.

I gotta say, there was some funny stuff there, but it would have been way funnier with some serious editing. Like, cut down to a half or even a third of its length...
