NBC Sports has learned that free agent left-hander Mark Mulder has opted to retire. Mulder appeared set to join the Brewers after working out with now pitching coach Rick Peterson. The 32-year old left-hander hasn't pitched a full season since 2005, when he went 16-8 with a 3.64 ERA in 32 starts.
Mulder did string together five consecutive seasons of 16 wins or more, and owns a career 103-60 record with a career 4.18 ERA in nine seasons with the A's and Cardinals.
The report came from Milwaukee, which was then confirmed by Brewers pitching coach Rick Peterson to MLB.com.

Disputed by Mulder directly as well
Via San Francisco Chronicle’s Susan Slusser:
“It’s unbelievable. Where is it coming from?” he asked me with a chuckle. “I never said ‘retirement.’ That’s the wrong word. The thing is, physically, I feel great, but my arm just doesn’t work the way I want to work, so I just shut it down from throwing. But I never really said I was going to retire; I’m 32 and I don’t feel like there’s anything physically wrong with me.”

Why dooes there have to be around 50 million posts about Mark Mulder
The dreams of a Wainwright, Carpenter, and Haren 3-headed monster still haven’t gone away :P.

In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"
