Since four of the baseball games yesterday were rained out yesterday, the Foul Ball post today will be rained out as well. Instead I'll share some baseball related links with you today.
- Harmon Killebrew passed away yesterday. Here's his life in photos. A Tribute by the Mall of America. And MLB video tributes to "Killer".
- Bay City Ball takes at look at the astounding fact that Tim Lincecum is already closing in on 1,000 strikeouts for his career. That's astounding to think about because Lincecum only began pitching in 2007, which was only four years ago.
- Jeff Sullivan of Baseball Nation looks at how the Rays bullpen has been successful this year despite being completely rebuilt.
- Crawfish Boxes asks why anyone would pay over $600 million for the Astros?
- SI looks at prospects in the minors that could be called up soon.
- ESPN says you should start paying attention to the new "Big 3" in Oakland. Wait? ESPN can talk about teams on the West Coast?
- I will talk about one game from last night and that's the 7-5 victory for the Reds over the Cubs. The Reds last night became one of three teams in the past 50 years to score seven runs in game, but only had two RBIs on the evening. The Reds score five runs by a combination of Cubs errors and sac fly's. Only the Cubs could lose that way.
Not mentioned about the new Astros owner. The NAACP has been after him before for unfair hiring practices.
