Nick Punto signs with Oakland A's
I am sad about this one.
Shredder, the Little Pony, Danny DeVito... Nick Punto.

Boston Red Sox show more suspect management with Kevin Youkilis trade
Months ago I talked about the possibility of Kevin Youkilis being traded. It was a move that the team should have made in the offseason when such things are easier to explain and easier to bear. Losing a guy like Youk is never easy; he has more fire and determination than any ten guys in the league. But this isn’t the Joe Morgan baseball league. One can only go so far on...
