Updated: 09/07/08 7:57 AM So there we have it. Fourteen years of mostly great baseball in downtown Buffalo put to bed by one simple e-mail from Cleveland. The official word came Tuesday that the Indians have severed ties with the Bisons to officially begin the process of fulfilling baseball’s worst-kept secret and moving to Columbus. Now comes a huge decision for the Bisons: Blue Jays or Mets?

The first use of instant replay in major league baseball was to confirm a long home run hit by Alex Rodriguez — the man who one day could hold the all-time home run record and who knows a thing or two about being surrounded by controversy.

Mike Harrington
Updated: 08/31/08 6:31 AM The calendar hits September on Monday and this should be one wacky final month. The Rays — yes, the don’t-call-us- Devil Rays! — and Brewers look like good bets to be in the playoffs while the Yankees sit home for the first time since 1993 and the Red Sox and Mets are far from sure things, either. Could both the White Sox and Twins get in? Can the Sox and Cubs make it an all-Chicago World Series? Can the Cubs even get there at all for the first time since 1945?

Updated: 08/24/08 6:43 AM Everyone knows CC Sabathia is a rental player in the Brewers’ desperate quest to reach the postseason for the first time since 1982. And it looks like manager Ned Yost is determined to squeeze every last drop out of the big guy. It also looks like the Brew Crew just wants to get to October and doesn’t care if it sticks around too long either.

Updated: 08/17/08 10:11 AM And you thought the trading deadline came and went July 31. So how is Paul Byrd suddenly with the Red Sox?Adam Dunn with the Diamondbacks? Chad Bradford with the Rays? And we haven’t seen the last of the deals either. A key name who could move this month is Colorado reliever Brian Fuentes and another might be temperamental Tigers slugger Gary Sheffield, who ripped the team last week for limiting him to DH duties. The next deadline to watch is Aug. 31. That’s the last day players can be on a roster and still be eligible for postseason play.
