If there's a complete opposite of the vehicle-related mishap that occurred to David Price over the weekend, John Buck may have experienced it. Instead of shooing away a voiding vagrant, the Miami Marlins catcher helped pull two elderly women out of a crashed car and toward safety. Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post has the full tale, which began when Buck noticed a palm tree swaying a bit more than usual: The tree was shaking after being hit by a car, an accident Buck happened upon perhaps one minute after it occured. 'I pulled out of the entrance (of his neighborhood) and I saw this car upside down and smoking. I kind of saw a hand pulling at the window,'' he said. "I looked at my wife and my wife's like, 'Go help! Just go!'' Buck ran to the overturned car ... (The catcher) and a bus driver who stopped to give assistance were able to help the car's driver crawl out of a window of the upside-down car. Buck and another man pulled the passenger...

New York Yankees Expressed Interest In Mark Buehrle

Via Rant Sports  |  December 12, 2011
Before signing with the Miami Marlins, Mark Buehrle received some interest from the New York Yankees as well.  I definitely don’t have much love for pitchers – lefty or righty – that fail to break 90 with their fastballs – let alone 87.  With that said, Mark Buehrle was the rare exception.  I like the fact that he works quickly, pounds the strike zone and...

He’s Still ‘Jose’ (not ‘Reyes’) to Me

Via Faith and Fear  |  December 12, 2011
A friend and I were discussing recent Met developments over the weekend. He referred to “Gil and Reyes,” as in he perceives an anti-New York bias inherent in Gil Hodges not making the generally worthless National Baseball Hall of Fame and Jose Reyes not finishing in the Top Ten of the National League MVP voting. What struck me in his communiqué was Gil was dependably “Gil”...
