By The Way

I see the union is filing a grievance on behalf
of Shawn Chacon, and I wonder, you know
he may be totally in the right about Ed Wade,
but he totally lost any case he had when he
got up, grabbed him by the neck, and pushed
him to the ground. What was he thinking?
This grievance should have been filed just
before the neck grabbing if everything he says
about Wade cussing him out in public is true,
especially in a room full of players, and coaches.
I'm sure that at the very least the union rep on
his team could have verified his story.


I like that the NY Rangers biggest bucks in free
agency so far were spent on defense, but as great
a reputation as Wade Redden has as a passer,
and his being a two time All Star, I wonder if
all that money being spent on a guy who's been
in the league 11 years is wise when you consider
how violent and brutal a sport hockey can be.
How long before this guy wears out?


The Twins sure responded to the Detroit Tigers
bean balls in a big way on Wednesday. That is
by beating them in the last two games of the
series, taking that series, and punctuating it
by tossing a shutout in the finale.

Speaking of the Tigers, they are 42-33 since
their 0-9 start, very nice. It would be even
nicer if Dontrelle Willis had anything to do
with it. I wonder how the minor leagues are
treating him.

Last but not least, Get this, The Tampa Rays
HAVE THE BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL,
and that's coming off two straight wins over
the Boston Red Sox. Impressive.
