MLB Notebook: The Sandman, Bonds, Livan and Willy

Mariano Rivera is all kinds of clutch. In non-save situations, his ERA is 3.00. In save situations, it is an outstanding .30. No, that was not a typo, .30. If you need a win, call The Sandman.

The Houston Chronicle thinks that the Astros should pursue Barry Bonds. I think he should just retire and ride off into the jailhouse.

Livan Hernandez got murdered in his first outing with the Rockies. He gave up 9 runs, in 2.2 IP. He blamed the layoff between starts, but I blame it on his lack of any kind of pitching skill. He lacks velocity, control and movement. What else could he have that keeps him around in the MLB? Innings. He can pitch 200 innings every year without problem. Have fun with Livan Colorado!

Bad news Mariner fans: Willy Bloomquist is done for the season. He severly pulled his hammy, and will probably miss the remainder of the year. Also, he will probably be done as a Mariner. He most likely will move to the National League, where the game fits his style and he could get more playing time.
