TOM GORDON RUMORS & GOSSIP

Dodgers fast-forward Gordon's future

The future is coming quicker than the Los Angeles Dodgers planned. Dee Gordon, considered the organization's top prospect, was prematurely jumped to the big leagues, a strong indication that the Dodgers are leery about Rafael Furcal's ability to stay healthy, both this year and in the long run. They wanted to give Gordon a full season of development at Triple-A. But, instead...

Phils vs. Ranger: Know Your Enemy

Hey, have you heard lately that the Phils are friggin' horrible? If not, you must be living under an Rosie O'Donnel sized rock, because they've completely sucked for over 2 weeks now. Today they pull up into the Dallas Fort-Worth area to take on the Texas Rangers. It's a shame Chuck Norris won't be at the game, because he might actually be able to generate...
