Trevor Hoffman has been placed on waivers. If you’re Philly, wouldn’t you rather have him closing games for you than Brad Lidge?

. . . but so too was the seizing of the list in the first place: A federal appeals court has ruled that investigators were wrong to seize a list of 104 Major League Baseball players who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs during the 2003 season. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday […]

For what seems like the umpteenth time in the past two weeks old lady law is whuppin’ my behind again today. Government work wasn’t supposed to be like this, but whaddaya gonna do?
