&lt;div class="description"&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the sixth year in a row, I am once again asking for hardcore baseball fans to participate in the annual Scouting Report project, in which you evaluate the fielding characteristics of players on your team. If you have a few minutes, please drop by and evaluate your team:

&lt;div class="description"&gt;&lt;p&gt;A few weeks back, the bloggers from Basecrawl asked for a human interest story at Rangers Ballpark as they're making a documentary featuring similary stories at each ballpark. They visited with Shirley "The Cookie Lady" Kost and her husband Cal the first weekend in August.  Their short report is up tonight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Rangers one of 4 teams to show interest in&amp;nbsp;Garcia&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  
&lt;div class="source"&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Of all the teams at least taking a look at Garcia, the Mets, Tigers -- with a lot of Venezuelan players on the roster and Carlos Guillen being a good friend of Garcia's -- Rays -- who, as Greenberg said, "have really stayed in touch" -- and Rangers appear to be among the most interested."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rays scouting Freddy Garcia&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.crainsnewyork.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080803/FREE/170216934"&gt;Yankee revenues should double with new&amp;nbsp;stadium&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div class="description"&gt;&lt;p&gt;The team's revenues&#8212;already the highest in the sport, at an estimated $327 million last year&#8212;are poised to double almost immediately. This quantum leap will be driven by factors ranging from higher prices for tickets and hot dogs to increased revenues from the YES Network for game telecasts. There will also be new revenue sources, such as leasing out the new stadium for concerts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
