Major League Baseball has donated almost $1 Million dollars to help in the rescue and recovery operations in Haiti, which was hit with a 7.0 earthquake.

If you want to help, it is suggested by authorities that you donate to the American Red Cross.

The Mets again are making news as Carlos Beltran had surgery on his knee and GM Omar Minaya said he "didn't sign off on it."

This past week we also heard Mark McGwire admit that he used steroids for nearly a decade and that he also used it when he hit 70 homeruns in 1998. Let's hope the coming weeks are more peaceful.

Until then, our prayers go to Haiti.

Here is 2010 and before we know it, the baseball season will be right around the corner. That means the first sign of Spring.

Every season I enjoy what the NHL does with their Winter Classic. Maybe it is because they play it in baseball stadiums? Maybe it is because my career in writing started in hockey and the New York Islanders magazine? But, I like the play of the Winter Classic.

The Yankees have 27 World Championships now and many teams will be chasing them in 2010. I see a repeat!

The Mets are trying and you can't fault them. Bernie, Omar, etc., it has been a rough season and hopefully 2010 will be the turn around.

Until then, see ya at the Winter Classic.

Not many shockers from the prediction makers as the Yankees face the Angels in the ALCS and the Dodgers face the Phillies in the NLCS.

Should be some exciting games played as the teams prepare for the road to the World Series. Before you know it, the World Series will be here and the final two teams will be known.

So, it is time to get ready for the ALCS and NLCS games. This is the post season. This is The Fall Classic.

Until then, see ya at the World Series.

Much to the Tigers suprise, the Twins pulled off a killing (wins) with the Royals and will be squaring off with the Tigers on Tuesday to see who will be the Central Division Champions.

Jim Leyland looked a little stressed as he probably thought his team had the division. The feisty Twins, who just years ago were named as one of the teams rumored to be extinct, surprised everyone.

If this is how the playoffs are going to be, it should be exciting. Until then, see ya at the Fall Classic.

Now is the time to say goodbye to the baseball season -- what a season. The Yankees turned out to be the best team, while the Mets were the one of the worst.

Eric Wedge of the Cleveland Indians and Cecil Cooper of the Houston Astros were shown the door as managers. Also two GMs were fired: JP Ricciardi of the Toronto Blue Jays and Kevin Towers of the San Diego Padres. One has to wonder if Mets GM Omar Minaya will be joining them?

So off to fall. The cold weather, basketball, football and hockey. The Mets have the whole off-season to turn things around. The Yankees have it all. And I will miss baseball.

"Baseball is the only place in life where a sacrifice is really appreciated."

Until then, see ya at The Fall Classic.

Well...Mets' fans don't have to hang their heads down in disgust. The season is over...The Mets season is over.

What started out, as predicted by many in the media, to be the year turned into a MASH mobile unit being set-up in the CitiField parking lot.

We also can't forget the laughable GM Omar Minaya and all the tricks he had up his sleeve -- Adam Rubin, press conferences, Johan Santana injuries.

So folks, the bleeding has stopped for the Mets.

Until then, see ya at the park!
