Other news you can use:

  • Roy Halladay is (not) broken!
  • Wait, other players do this too?
  • Chris Lund reviews the tragedy of baseball expectations. When the feelings gone and you can't go on...

  • Can anyone explain why Brett Lawrie was sliding into second last night on a flyball to centerfield? The ump made the right call on him last night but Lawrie should have been out on the sheer stupidity of sliding into second on a ball he apparently read as one heading into the gap. It appears Lawrie has more faith in Upton's arm than Upton himself and that's saying something.
