Mike Lowell the Castaway

Mike Lowell the Castaway

Poor Mike Lowell is now a castaway due to injuries and age. If his thumb had not been an issue, he would still be a valuable and serviceable player. I am sure the Boston Red Sox are thinking about insurance in case Ortiz has the same start he did last year. Mike Lowell isn’t going [...]

Mets to the AL East?

This has to be the most ridiculous article I have read in a long time. The Mets came after both the Giants and Dodgers left New York and Major League Baseball needed to fill a void in the National League. Ken Rosenthal, who are you crapping? Where do you get this stuff from?
