Just the wrong side of town...

SI's Jon Heyman is reporting Jake Peavy traded to White Sox for minor leaguers... you've got to be kidding me.

It looks like the Chief's have found a (temporary) replacement for John Vitters. I just got an email from the Chiefs and confirmed it on their site. Starting with Friday's game, Aramis Ramirez will begin his rehab assignment in Peoria. According to the Chiefs, he will play in Friday, Saturday and Sunday's games.

Very good news for the crushed Peoria fans who recently lost Josh Vitters with his promotion to Daytona.

I had no idea this was even going on, but Mel Hall was convicted of Statutory Rape and sentenced to 45 years behind bars for the rape of a 12-year-old girl whom who coached on a basketball team in Texas.

Hall played for the Cubs from 1981-1984, and retired in 1996 with 134 career home runs, and ranks 484 on the all-time Home Runs list.. The accusations came out in 1999, and there was apparently another victim involved, however she withdrew her claim. Hall will serve a minimum of 22 1/2 years before he is eligible for parole. I'm sure there will be an appeal.

This is nuts. I didn't see the incident, and can't find any video (anybody have it...?), but this "he said, she said" crap between players and umps needs to stop. Why can't they just handle this stuff behind closed doors where it belongs? If I went around my place of business talking all sorts of crap about my fellow employees I'd probably just get terminated... but these umps and players just seem to run their mouths for fun. I don't know who's in the right here, but either way it's kind of sad and it's just going to end up getting Lilly suspended...

So apparently this idiot wrote and article saying Theriot doesn't use steroids... disproving accusations of approximately no one, only to increase his own popularity. In his article, Telander uses Theriot as an example of how no one is immune to the accusations of steroid use. I'm sorry, but if you're writing an article talking about how no one is safe... WHY WOULD YOU BLINDLY ACCUSE someone? Idiot. Go away.

Is this guy serious? First of all, that pitch didn't even hit Braun, and then Braun decided it was a good idea to stare at Demps all the way down first. Maybe they should probe Braun's showboating after home runs?

"The league frowns on people throwing at people's heads," Macha told reporters this morning. "I don't know if Bob Watson has looked at it or not. But I don't think that's a good idea, throwing at people's heads."

Don't forget that Theriot was drilled later in the game... if Macha wants Watson to look at this game, and the incidents that followed, he should be prepared for action to be taken for retribution. That's all I have to say about this. What a tool.
