Waste of cash by Kansas City as usual.  They're paying this guy 4 million dollars.  If they're smart, they could have waited it out and got a solid bullpen guy for a lot less than 4 million. 

Dayton Moore drafts well but is fucking horrible at signing free agents.  Although the Melky Cabrera for Jonathan Sanchez trade he pulled off wasn't half bad.

Apparently the Cubs are in on Fielder and Pujols.  They won't sign both guys obviously.  Fielder is also being pursued by the Mariners.  It makes sense since they're fucking offense was putrid last year.  They need a LOT of help on offense though even if the Mariners do sign Fielder.

To be honest, I'm more interested in some of the trades that get down this week.  There is always one or two trades that you never see coming.

These uniforms are a lot better looking than the new ones they've been wearing.  I never liked the way they made the new Blue Jay logo.  It looked like one of those awful mid 1990s NBA logos (like the Raptors).

Good move on going back to the old jerseys/logos.

They need to add a bat and maybe more bullpen help.  But they're close.  And I will be rooting for Leyland and company to win it.

From what I recall reading, the Cards wont increase their offer of 9 years and 210 million dollars.  So if someone else wants to offer more he'd almost have to consider it.  I think it's kinda dumb to state that publicly.

I guess they're betting that Albert has gotten comfortable in STL and would take less money to remain a Cardinal for life.  The thing is though I would have thought that they would have reached an agreement before the season started.  All that did was make him more receptive to other teams offers at the end of the years. 

I was looking over their roster and payroll and without Albert this team is pretty average.  I'm not sure why on earth they're paying Kyle Loshe 12.1 million dollars.

If by some chance Pujols does leave, they almost have to look at Prince Fielder.  I'm interested in seeing who actually bids on Fielder.  Not many teams need a 1B.  Texas and Seattle come to mind.  Seattle's GM was in Milwaukee when he was drafted and their offense sucked last year.  The ballpark is OK for LH hitters.  It's RH hitters that get their power depressed.

Aram should consider signing with the Angels.  He can play 3rd and DH there as well.

I heard a similar rumor except it was that Sandusky was running a pedophile sex ring and whoring out those kids to the highest paying donors of that Second Mile foundation that he ran.

Paterno is definitely involved here as there is no way this shit would go on without his knowledge.  I find it interesting that after he gets investigated in 1998 he gets forced out the following year.  Keep in mind that he had always been seen as the coach in waiting for Penn St.  Even more curious is that he didn't coach anywhere after that.  He was relatively young (55 or so) when he retired.  I think he won some coaching award that year too for best asistant or something.  Even shitty coaches get jobs at lower level schools.

Another rumor I've read is that the grad assistant was also a victim of sexual abuse.  I'm not sure I believe that one though.

Haynesworth got claimed by the Bucs yesterday.  Anyway, I root the Titans I think they have just as bad a pass rush as the Pats do.  It's frustrating on 3rd down when the quarterback has all day to throw.  The Titans have good corners this year and you can't really expect anyone for 5+ seconds on every down.

I remember watching the NE-OAK game and Jason Campbell had pretty much all day to throw in the game.  On several plays, he had close to 10 seconds to throw and no one from the Pats was even close to him.  The Pats can get away this with lesser or average teams because Tom Brady masks a lot of their problems.   

They've also missed on a lot of defensive draft picks over the past few years.  The upcoming draft isn't going to yield much help if they're looking for a 4-3 DE.  Don't know about 3-4 olb/edge rushers though.  Wilfork and Mayo are the only guys that I would say are good on the front seven.  Carter too but I think he's too old.  They need another S after Merriweather didn't work out.

I think Chad Johnson is done.  Second straight year he's played poorly.
