... Someway, the World Series Ball Has Gone Missing: You may remember as Jonathan Papelbon --- Mr. Awkward, Funky Jig Man himself -- recorded the final out of the World Series with a strikeout, Jason Varitek plopped the ball into his back pocket. We speculated he may have pulled a Doug Mientkiewicz with the move. But alas, Varitek said he'd give the ball "back to the team." Done deal, right?

... Oh, and Cameron apparently has played baseball while drunk. Shock! Horror! Okay, so that makes two guys on the ‘07 Padres who have made such an admission. Stupid? Sure, but get over it. (I like that Cameron hit two homers and drove in eight runs when he was drunk, while ...

Mike Cameron Says He’s Played Drunk

... Mike Cameron talking. One small little tiny detail here: I think Cameron is getting “drunk” confused with a hangover. Follow me? I could go around bragging that I aced midterms at UCLA while drunk but that would be a lie; I aced them hungover! Sure the story sounds great, but I think Cam is just embellishing. Sad thing is, when you go 4-for-4 with 8 ribbies, the accomplishment should be able to stand alone. Oh well. (Also see Matt Watson at FanHouse)

Hockey Players Most Likely to "Pull a Mike Cameron"
Published 11/6/2007 by Kevin at Barry Melrose Rocks
... What Mike Cameron said the other day, if we assume it to be true, puts him in the echelons of baseball lore with the likes of Babe Ruth. You see, Ruth is from a bygone era when a player's alcoholic exploits were less surprising and not a cause for public concern. For Mike Cameron, the new millennium does not provide such a haven from judgment. To his detriment, this era is really all about sending you to AA meetings. ...

... win, that’s worth between $16 and $22 million on the free agent market, all for only $7 million. We can’t give all that credit to Cameron (the Brewers technically could have moved Hall and Braun without signing Cameron), but acquiring a good center fielder forces the issue. It’s a great signing and the Brewers are now back to competing with the Cubs for first place in the NL Central. (By the way, you’ve got to love that a guy who’s admitted to playing baseball drunk is now a member of the Brewers.) Share This ...
