來自球員官網,請自行點閱: http://web.tigerwoods.com/news/article/200911297726222/news/ - This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again.
http://riveraveblues.com/tag/40-man-roster/ The Yankees have announced seven additions to the team’s 40-man rotation in advance of December’s Rule 5 draft. Among them are Austin Jackson and Ivan Nova. What a difference a year makes for Nova, who was selected and then returned to the Yanks in 2008.
To go along with this move, the Yanks also outrighted Shelley Duncan to AAA Scranton. I’m sure the Yanks would be happy to trade him for some cash. Here’s the full list:
PItchers Hector Noesi Ivan Nova Romulo Sanchez
Infielders Reegie Corona Eduardo Nunez Kevin Russo
Outfielders Austin Jackson
Interestingly enough, the Yanks now have 39 of their 40-man spots filled, but the team is down a left fielder, a designated hitter and a starting pitcher. Either the Yanks don’t plan to resign more than one of their three big-name free agents so quickly or they will be prepared to cut loose someone on the 40-man if need be. Of those on the current 40-man, Christian Garcia looks awfully expendable.

- There’s a sharp conflict in the two reports. The AP states that not everyone tested positive for steroids and provides a number. The NYT report has the same number and states that group was caused by an over the counter supplement 19-norandrostenedione. 19-norandrostenedione is a precursor of the anabolic steroid nandrolone and was added to Schedule III along with other anabolic steroids under the Controlled Substances Act in 2005. 根據AP 報導並非所有人(104)都有陽性反應;但紐約時報說都有啦。
Today I was informed by a reporter that I was on the 2003 list of MLB players to test positive for performance-enhancing substances. This happened right before our game, and the news blindsided me. I said I had no comment because I wanted to get to the bottom of this.
I want to talk about this situation and I will as soon as I have more answers. In the meantime I want to let you know how I am approaching this situation. One, I have already contacted the Players Association to confirm if this report is true. I have just been told that the report is true. Based on the way I have lived my life, I am surprised to learn I tested positive. Two, I will find out what I tested positive for. And, three, based on whatever I learn, I will share this information with my club and the public. You know me -- I will not hide and I will not make excuses.
I want to thank my family, the Red Sox, my teammates, and the fans for their patience and support.
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/hallfame/2009-07-26-aaron-rose_N.htm By Bob Nightengale, USA TODAY COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — Pete Rose, who received a lifetime ban 20 years ago for betting on baseball, deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, former home-run king Hank Aaron said. "I would certainly like to see him in," Aaron said. "He belongs in, really. His career is one that he needs to be right here in the middle of all of this."
Rose, in Cooperstown signing autographs over the weekend but not in attendance at the Hall of Fame ceremony for Rickey Henderson, Jim Rice and veterans committee selection Joe Gordon, admitted in 2002 to Commissioner Bud Selig that he bet on baseball. Selig said Rose's case still is under review.

Phillies, Rangers Interested In Wang By Mike Axisa [July 4, 2009 at 9:32am CST] Saturday: Heyman says the Phillies offered "a prospect apparently not to Yankees' liking" for Wang.
Friday: SI's Jon Heyman tweets that the Phillies and Rangers are among the teams interested in Yankees righthander Chien-Ming Wang. We first learned of Philadelphia's interest in the sinkerballer last weekend, but the Rangers are new to the discussion. With the recent news that Ben Sheets may not pitch all at this season, Texas could turn to Wang for help as they prepare to make a second half run at the first place Angels. They certainly have the young players to offer in exchange for Wang, or any other pitcher in the big leagues for that matter.
Wang famously struggled earlier in the season but has settled down of late, allowed three earned runs or less in his last four starts.

*費城人:Brett Myers, Adam Eaton, Tom Gordon, Geoff Jenkins, 田口壯. 其中田口可能會簽小聯盟約,Myers明年還有12M的約,但費城人可能願意等他回神(而不交易)。 *馬林魚:Wes Helms, Mark Hendrickson. 他們如果走掉並不奇怪 *大都會:Johan Santana, Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado, Pedro Martinez, Luis Castillo. 我們知道這些巨星不會走人,特別是Pedro及Castillo兩位。 *勇士:Mike Hampton, Mark Kotsay. 可能會吃下Hamptom剩下的4.6M合約好讓他走人 *國民:Austin Kearns, Dmitri Young. 這兩位的約都到09年,而球團方面不想繼續買單。 *小熊:Alfonso Soriano, Jason Marquis, Bob Howry, Scott Eyre, Jon Lieber. 其中Marquis還有11.8M的約到09年。 *釀酒人:Eric Gagne, Jeff Suppan, Ray Durham, Bill Hall, David Riske, Guillermo Mota. 釀酒人有一些不好的約(編按,意思是說可能放走一些。) *紅雀:Chris Carpenter, Jason Isringhausen, Adam Kennedy, Cesar Izturis. 基本上,買家通常不會買老球員。 *太空人:Miguel Tejada, Carlos Lee, Kaz Matsui, Randy Wolf, Jose Valverde, LaTroy Hawkins, Mark Loretta, Brad Ausmus. 好多球員預計會通過讓渡,雖然球團還想拼(季後賽)。 *紅人:Adam Dunn, Francisco Cordero, Bronson Arroyo, Jeremy Affeldt, Corey Patterson, Javier Valentin, Matt Belisle, Josh Fogg. 作者不太相信Dunn會通過讓渡,盡管他還有3.9M的約,無論如何現在換走他吧。 *海盜:Freddy Sanchez, Jason Michaels, Jose Bautista, Chris Gomez, Doug Mientkiewicz. 海盜多數的約還不錯,最糟的是Sanchez的7.9M到09年的約。 *響尾蛇:Randy Johnson. 除了與Eric Byrnes到10年的約以外,大致上都簽得不錯。 *道奇:Manny Ramirez, Andruw Jones, Jason Schmidt, Rafael Furcal, Jeff Kent, Nomar Garciaparra, Juan Pierre, Angel Berroa, Pablo Ozuna. 作者認為道奇會割捨Jones或Pierre,反正現在他們外野很擠。 *落磯:Todd Helton, Kip Wells, Yorvit Torrealba, Willy Taveras, Cory Sullivan, Glendon Rusch. 其中Helton仍有背傷,不然應該有人要。 *巨人:Barry Zito, Randy Winn, Dave Roberts, Omar Vizquel, Rich Aurilia, Brad Hennessey, Kevin Correia, Tyler Walker. 另外可能會把Brian Sabean叫上來,好把一些老人的約清掉。 *教士:Greg Maddux, Trevor Hoffman, 井口資仁, Brett Tomko, Wil Ledezma. 如果道奇想要Maddux,可能會被攔胡。
標題:Waiver Trade Candidates: American League 作者:Tim Dierkes 來源:mlb trade rumors 摘要: (編按,MLBTR站長Tim Dierkes預測美聯通過讓渡的清單,他們可被自由地與其他隊球員或非40人名單的新秀交易。) *光芒:Trever Miller, Jonny Gomes. 薪水都不高,今季表現也普普。 *紅襪:Jason Varitek, Julio Lugo, Mike Timlin, Alex Cora. 應該都會clear waiver,但是沒有人想要,其中Lugo還有20.8M的合約。 *洋基:Jason Giambi, Derek Jeter, Bobby Abreu, Johnny Damon, Ivan Rodriguez, Carl Pavano. 預計也都會通過讓渡,但是都很貴沒有人要,Pavano或許有機會。 *藍鳥:Scott Rolen, Vernon Wells, Lyle Overbay, Gregg Zaun. 但除了Zuan以外藍鳥應該沒意願放人,Jon Heyman(CNN)則認為A.J Burnett也可能通過讓渡。 *金鶯:Aubrey Huff, Melvin Mora, Ramon Hernandez, Jay Payton, Jamie Walker, Kevin Millar.(編按,作者稍後補上。)可能藉由交易某些球員來降低薪資,例如Huff打出0.912 OPS(美聯第10)、並且09年還有10.5M的約。 *雙城:Michael Cuddyer, Mike Lamb, Adam Everett. 其中Lam及Everett可能會被DFA。 *白襪:Jim Thome, Ken Griffey Jr., Paul Konerko, Jose Contreras, A.J. Pierzynski, Juan Uribe, Mike MacDougal. 名單有許多高價球員故預期也會通過讓渡,其中Konerko表現不佳可能會被丟掉。 *老虎:Gary Sheffield, Edgar Renteria, Kenny Rogers, Todd Jones, Dontrelle Willis, Nate Robertson. 目前已經在美中落後7場了,可能會考慮當賣家。 *皇家:Jose Guillen, Jimmy Gobble, Ross Gload. 其中Guillen可能不會丟出,而Gobble及Gload對於買家來說沒啥幫助,另外Jon Heyman認為Mark Grudzielanek也會通過讓渡。 *印地安人:Paul Byrd, David Dellucci, Jamey Carroll, Rafael Betancourt.(編按,作者稍後補上。)Byrd還有2.5M的約,但可能有人想要他,Jon Heyman則持相反意見。 *天使:Garret Anderson, Gary Matthews Jr., Justin Speier. 天使有些合約簽得不好,但作者不預期會丟人。 *游騎兵:Kevin Millwood, Vicente Padilla, Michael Young, Frank Catalanotto, Marlon Byrd. 其中Padilla還有17M的約到09年,如果有球隊要他最好是趕快放人,至於Catalanotto及Byrd則別期望在這個月看到交易。 *運動家:Eric Chavez, Emil Brown, Bobby Crosby, Mark Ellis, Alan Embree.(編按,後三位為作者稍後補上。)運動家本月似乎沒有交易的可能。 *水手:Carlos Silva, Jarrod Washburn, Miguel Batista, Jose Vidro, Kenji Johjima, Miguel Cairo, Raul Ibanez.(編按,作者稍後補上。)水手有一堆壞約,其中Washburn的約還有13.45M到09年,本月可能會有人要他,Jon Heyman則認為Adrian Beltre也可能通過讓渡。
標題:Tata to enter uber-lux segment with Daimler revival 作者:Noah Joseph 來源:autoblog 摘要: 高處不勝寒。如果你天殺的有錢通常會買Bently或RR,而不是Maybach(雖然她也不錯,但總是差一咪咪。)現在Tata集團也想要把Daimler品牌推出來。Daimler是當初Mercedez的子公司,後來在英國發展得不錯(邊按,據說皇室愛用。)後來他們被Jaguar而後又連同Jagur整個被Tata買去。
標題:Tech avalanche: Microsoft goes big for automotive 作者:Chris Shunk 來源:autoblog 摘要: (編按,看過近幾年遊戲機戰史的朋友,一定不會對微軟帝國的野心與實力感到懷疑,現在他們目光集中在汽車電子...) 急速萎縮的美國市場迫使車廠亟欲與對手差異化,其中最快的偷吃步就是科技。有點軟深刻了解這點,這位科技巨擘積極參與這塊新市場。有點軟增加了連結與資訊維護部門約30%的人力與預算,而今"Sync"是帝國的輝煌成就,目前已售出20萬套並預期於2009年年底前達到百萬銷售量。儘管Ford擁有Sync的商標權,有點軟在2009年(之後)仍可將其售予其他車廠。有點軟並將使用上他們的"Live Search"(編按,IE7內建搜尋引擎,小弟只能說***的好用啊!!),屆時駕駛者可以(透過該系統)就近尋找車商(編按,這邊的business也有可能是指銀行、餐廳、書店...等,文意沒有很清楚。) 最後,作者褒揚一下帝國的努力,並刻畫一個美好未來的藍圖,但是也沒忘記用上大家熟悉的藍天白雲千年老梗。🙂
1) 中文搜尋能力近乎於零 2) 搜尋精度還可以,但那與搜尋指令比較有關。 3) 介面滿友善的,但是如下圖可以看出一些問題,以"A380"為關鍵字進行搜尋: a) 連結通常附圖,但是有時候僅秀標題(如畫面略中央處),懷疑是偷吃步只秀"第一張"的結果。 b) 如右上角Explore by Category,連結還可以再展開,類似Google底下的建議搜尋清單。 c) 點到連接上方還有節錄,此與Google類似。
標題:Honda and Nissan working to mass-market carbon fiber 來源:autoblog 摘要: 本田與日產試圖合作開發一種車用的更好、更輕且可回收的碳纖維材料,他們亦將與Toray, and Mitsubishi Rayon(堪稱日版杜邦)的日系碳纖維公司合作,同時這計畫得到日本政府的資助,將於5年內投入2億日圓,預期能在2015年前後獲致成果,屆時將能製造更便宜的車輛(編按,相較於現行其他車廠的鋁合金製程。)同時減少車輛約40%的重量。而且,她是可回收的,透過回收的方式又能更減少一些製造成本。
標題:The Clone Wars: Chinese copy banned from Europe 來源:autoblog 摘要: 首先有圖有真相: Fiat Panda是歐洲四年內最暢銷的小型車,而今可能被中國長城汽車(Chinese Great Wall Motor)-Chrysler的中國(戰略)夥伴-"借用"某些設計元素(編按,該記者用的詞真酸)來創造他們的新車,GWPeri,除了大燈與保桿細節以外幾乎如出一轍。Fiat集團決定同時在歐洲及大陸提出訴訟,以避免被操作成"歐洲對中國"的惡性競爭手段(編按,在中國打官司,義佬瘋了嗎?)而都林(Turin)法庭方面判決"兩車看起來沒有差別,頂多就是一台熊貓及一台熊貓改",若GWPeri真的在歐陸上市可能先被判罰15,000歐元,其後每一台銷售更將被罰50,000歐元。長城汽車方面則表示已作好打仗的準備,至於中國方面的官司則還沒有結論。 心得: 各位大爺評評理,中國的設計後視鏡有方向燈,且門把造型不同,哪裡一樣了您說說看。😇
Rafael Furcal 動手術至少離隊二個月,道奇總管Ned Colletti可能會尋找替代品(即使是條雜魚)。
Alex Gonzalez 建議踢除 Christian Guzman 國民隊似乎不放人 Juan Uribe 可以獲得(按,他目前算是工具人,或許有較大的意願轉隊。) Jack Wilson 傷後的打擊三圍還不錯,擁有對六支球隊的NTC,並且合約簽到09,包括10年選擇權(暗示難搞)。 胡金龍 不錯的人選
