Hey guys/gals,
With no hockey I thought that I would toss this up.
1) Delgado:

Mariners and Orioles courting Delgado
Delgado said Baltimore's core of Latin players, which includes his fellow Puerto Rican Javier Lopez, Venezuelan Melvin Mora and Dominican Miguel Tejada, make the team an attractive choice.
2) Backman:

DC Council Chair proposed alternate ballpark site, could derail Expos' move to Washington
The chair of the District of Columbia Council proposed Friday that a new ballpark be built next to RFK Stadium instead of a site south of the U.S. Capitol, a plan that could cause Major League Baseball to drop the scheduled move of the Montreal Expos to Washington.
Cropp said she is willing to risk losing the Expos if baseball owners refuse to accept the RFK location.
Just four days after he was introduced as the Arizona Diamondbacks manager, Wally Backman was fired Friday following revelations he was arrested twice and struggled with financial problems.
Arizona's management had been unaware of Backman's problems until they were reported in Tuesday's editions of The New York Times. Diamondbacks officials said they failed to do a criminal or financial background check on Backman.
``It's obviously a mistake on our part to have made a decision without having done the proper background work that could have been done, should have been done,'' managing partner Ken Kendrick said. ``I take full responsibility for that, and I'm very sorry.''
``Had we, at the time we made the decision, had all the facts that we ended up having, we would not have named Wally our manager,'' Kendrick said.
