Sports Justice: What’s wrong with the Astros. It’s not what you think. Bourn is a weapon?...Uh-oh, don’t tell me Justice picked up Erlich’s “The Population Bomb.” The more I think about it, the more I think Drayton McLane is right to push forward. Try to sign two free-agent starters in the off-season, keep the core together and don’t dare cut the budget in player development. Now a word about Cecil Cooper. He has managed 101 games in the big leagues. He has a team that has a poor rotation and a mediocre offense. Has he distinguished him? No. But to blame him for this team’s ...

Yankees Player Cripples Self in Horrific, Light-Jogging Incident

dichalk posted 6/17/2008 from www.thermocaster.com

Chien-Ming Wang will likely be sidelined until September after injuring his foot running the bases in Houston last weekend.
