Things You May Have Missed While You Were Living Your Life

While you were busy studying up your Baseball America Prospect Handbook so you could call the sports talk station with your trade proposals, actual baseball happened. What you may have missed:

There were a butt-ton of trades. I rounded up a few of them here.

Fredi Gonzalez is scared of the tweeter. The twits? The…the…whachamacallits on the internet explorer?

Lew Ford played Major League Baseball for the first time in five years after stops in Japan and Mexico. That’s dedication.

The Reds have won ten games in a row. As a Pirates fan, this upsets me. As a baseball fan, this excites me. As a man of fashion and style, this frightens me as Marty Brennaman is going to shave his head.

Delmon Young is rocking a great ‘stache. That is all.

Dustin Pedroia is always good for a quote.

Miguel Batista is headed to Atlanta. At least one more stop before his full-time writing career begins.

Brandon Allen is going to Japan. I mean, to play there. Not to like, see the sights and stuff.

Sam Miller writes about pits. It’s funnier than it has any right to be. Because Sam Miller is very, very funny.

Craig Robinson on his seven years with baseball. Bonus, it even comes with a chart!

Oliver Perez is good now. I’m guessing it’s the beard.

All the walk-up music you could ever want to access is now here. Crazy enough, Ronny Cedeno has a Rusted Root song that is not the Rusted Root song that you would think it would be.
