Breaking news: Bastardo to the DL; Escalona recalled

A strained shoulder will send left-hander Antonio Bastardo to the 15-day disabled list. Once again, Sergio takes the Escalona Escalator back up from Lehigh Valley.

Carrasco, Carpenter make Thursday decision difficult

Mariotti : Will Leitch Invented Blogging, Bad Journalism

It took AOL Sports’ Jay Mariotti a couple of weeks to weigh in on Jerod Morris’ much-maligned essay on Raul Ibanez’ pre-DL offensive explosion, claiming “Morris made a fool of himself during a panel discussion on ESPN’s Outside The Lines.” That’s not exactly how I remember it, but the former Sun-Times Mascara Fiend would like [...]
