Things You May Have Missed While You Were Living Your Life
While you attempted to go on a pre-Thanksgiving crash diet to prepare yourself for the feast to come, baseball things continued to happen.
- Why did the Cardinals hire Mike Matheny? Perhaps they were just doing him a solid after he lost his 17-room house.
- Phillies acquire Ty Wigginton for PTBNL. He’s old, slow, and cherubic—Phillys is going to love him.
- The new CBA is expected to be announced today, but it looks like free agent compensation is a thing of the past and HGH testing will soon begin. When will mandatory stirrup sock testing begin?
- Softbank Hawks defeated the Chunichi Dragons in game seven of the Japan Series.
- Jim Baker breaks down the fundamentals of when comic book characters pitch and field. It’s the type of piece that makes me incredibly jealous that I didn’t come up with it first.
- Now that Angel Villalona has been cleared of murder charges, he’s back on the 40 man roster. If he ever does make it back to the States and up with the big league club, the Giants could have two portly Pandas.
- Carlos Zambrano was hit in the face by a line drive while playing in Venezuela. Investigations will now begin to see if Ezequiel Carrera was simply executing a paid hit.
- CM Punk on Steve Bartman: “I wanted to drink his blood back in the day.”
- Twins sign Ryan Doumit, Tigers sign Gerald Laird, Phillies sign Brian Schneider, Dodgers sign Matt Treanor. Basically, if you’re willing to roll around in the mud like a pig, you’ll be rewarded handsomely by a Major League club.
- Orioles signed Matt Antonelli to big league deal. It’s a surprise for a player who went four years between decent seasons in the minors, but it also couldn’t go to a nicer fella.
- Dale Sveum was hired to manage the Cubs. His first season will probably be less about managing and more about doing his best Nurse Ratched impression.
