Scott Van Slyke probably has no idea, but he caused quite a scene last Sunday night in New Mexico.
Van Slyke was two weeks removed from the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes' lineup when he stepped up to the plate at Dodger Stadium in the seventh inning with two runners on base. The Dodgers were trailing the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3.

I was thinking: Mets assistant general manager Tony Bernazard is a proven snake, but he wouldn't be allowed to run amok unless there was a culture of betrayal in the organization that is being cultivated by Jeff Wilpon, the COO and bratty sonny boy of team owner Fred Wilpon. J. Wilpon and Bernazard are known to be fast cohorts.
Consider, too, that the same back-stabbing environment existed in 2004, when players like Al Leiter and other clubhouse lawyers got in J. Wilpon's ear, leading to the most inane trade in Mets history -- Scott Kazmir for Victor Zambrano.

In 14 major-league seasons, Jose Rijo won 116 games as a right- handed pitcher and collected a 3.24 ERA. But his impact on the Cincinnati Reds goes far beyond his numbers. Rijo, now 40 and an assistant to the general manager for the Washington Nationals, was one of the Reds' most popular players during his first go-around in Cincinnati from 1988-95 (he played for the Yankees and A's before coming to the Reds), which included a World Series MVP award in 1990.
Despite three separate surgeries on his pitching arm, Rijo returned in 2001 to the Reds' bullpen. He will be enshrined in the Reds' Hall of Fame on Saturday.
