From Florio at PFT: Multiple league sources tell us that the Chargers have fined cornerback Antonio Cromartie $2,500 for complaining on Twitter about the quality of the food at training camp. As best we can tell, this is the offending tweet, from July 31 at 3:46 p.m.: “Man we have 2 have the most nasty […]

Thanks to the law, my day just exploded again. I don’t think it will take me out of blogging all afternoon, but things may once again be light today. A thousand pardons. For now: Brandon Webb has his owie fixed. Wanna win the World Series? Beat up on the cupcakes! See cathedral mountains, see the […]

All law and no blogs makes Craig a dull boy. Let’s try to remedy that today, shall we? Nationals 8, Pirates 4: The Laughingstock Series went four games, and nothing was decided. Adam Dunn went 3-for-4 and was a triple short of the cycle. He may as well have been eight unicorns, cold fusion and […]

Red Sox 8, Athletics 5: Before the game Ortiz said this: Today I was informed by a reporter that I was on the 2003 list of MLB players to test positive for performance-enhancing substances. This happened right before our game, and the news blindsided me. I said I had no comment because I wanted to […]

Like yesterday, morning is bleeding into afternoon a bit, but I’ve had some stuff over here too already so it’s all good. I hate it when I write something beforehand that becomes moot via subsequent events. Means I have to throw it out and write something new. You don’t have to do that if you […]
