Edgerrin James done in ‘Zona
People close to the team seem certain that James is gone. James would cost the Cardinals $5 million in 2009 if he stayed.

BJ Penn’s camp have filed an official grievance against GSP’s corner. This story is taking away from what should be the biggest win in GSP’s career. It is detrimental because there is so much pointing towards some foul play; the fact that the athetic committing had to speak with GSP’s corner during the fight and also including the picture of GSP’s cornerman with Vaseline in his hand. Let’s hope the win was legit. This is a dangerous, dangerous thing to do it it’s true because someone could get very badly hurt.
I really liked your blog with the Red Sox mention!
