Mitchell, Atlanta A: The number of players on a Triple A roster is 38, the number of contracts that can be assigned during the ...

All right it's a little premature to say, "Now the Orioles are cooking," but it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the club's trade for veteran starting pitcher Kevin Millwood is, as Radar O'Reilly said about Nurse Anderson's feelings on Tolstoy before she could even express them, "highly significant." But first a little history: ...

And as the ball quickly left the yard and Utley quickly rounded the bases , most of the 46,000 fans, holding on desperately to hope, poured their love from every direction.

Andy Pettitte throwing on three days' rest? Even with his postseason record, it seemed like a dicey proposition, especially after A.J. Burnett blew up in Game 5 of the World Series.

THE MOOD outside Citizens Bank Park yesterday afternoon reflected the gray skies.

Andy Pettitte, who earned the win in Game 3, is expected to be the starter in Game 6 - but Joe Girardi would not say for sure.

He's a lefty, a finesse guy whose the right age to have watched the Braves and Yankees battle for Team of the Decade honors in the 90s.
