At least our run producers (Phillies) are American. Goldman Yankees got Ichiro when the yen/usd was favorable. What happened to Smoot-Hawley baseball???
That was going rather well until you inserted the Seattle Mariner by mistake.
Much dishonor!

All is right with the world again. I’d still like to see Dodgers vs. Yankees World Series next year. Girardi vs. Torre. A-Rod Vs. Manny.
Yes, Matsui and Ichiro together on the Mariners would be good.

From Cashins comments today:
Trial Separation Ends, But Reunion Is Less Than Passionate – The link between the dollar and various asset classes seemed to resume Wednesday. But, while the influence was evident, it was nowhere near as dominant and dramatic as it had been over the last three weeks.
Early in the U.S. trading session, the DXY (dollar vs. basket of other currencies) fell from 76.20 to 75.80. That dip corresponded to a sharp move up in equities and a not as dramatic rise in gold and oil.
The DXY remained on the canvas into early afternoon allowing the Dow to cruise along with a gain of about 125 points. There was a bit of minor reshuffling in most assets as the FOMC statement loomed.
When the statement was released at 2:15 (actually about 2:18), the initial reaction was confusion. The DXY oscillated quickly and erratically, somewhat like those lie detector arms in crime movies.
A similar sharp series of zigzags showed up in the Dow; the S&P and Nasdaq. The reaction in gold and oil was a good deal more constrained with their respective zigzags narrower and more muted.
What happened next was a bit puzzling and perplexing.
By about 2:25, the DXY had begun to move lower. As if in Pavlovian response, stocks moved higher, rising to the day’s high. Then about 3:20, the air began to leak out of the stock market rally. Traders quickly looked to the DXY to see if it had caused or, at least, contributed to the rather sharp pullback in stocks.
The DXY had not moved from the late lows that had produced the rise to the day’s highs in stocks. If it wasn’t the dollar, what was sucking the strength out of stocks?
There were several theories advanced. One was a rather vague caution on the financials. I couldn’t pin that down, although the insurers got crushed. Some even contended that it was a final hour interview of Elliot Wave theorist, Robert Prechter on CNBC. Prechter was bullish on the U.S. dollar and cautioned of a coming down leg in stocks that could lead to new lows. While Prechter is influential and the interview was clearly negative, he wasn’t breaking any new ground. His posture is well known so it was hard to draw a direct connection.
We lean to the camp that thinks the swift pullback may have been caused by chatter about today’s Initial Unemployment Claims and tomorrow’s Non-Farm Payrolls. There is growing speculation that the numbers may be a bit more negative than the somewhat optimistic consensus. The cautious tone on jobs earlier in the week from President Obama got some of that talk moving. Had he had “a peek” and tried to temper exceptions? Recall the speculation about “a peek” that followed last month’s release.
At any rate, the bulls were disappointed that so much of the rally evaporated so readily. The tug of war of the last two weeks has traders a bit on edge.
