Jason Bay is supposedly “moving on” from the Boston Red Sox. Who does his agent think he is? Scott Boras? Come on. Why in the heck would Jason Bay WANT to leave 65 million on the table to play in a park that he would continue to dominate, playing on a team getting ready to [...]

The Brew Crew from the cheesehead state made a big splash today by signing Randy Wolf and LaTroy Hawkins to bolster the pitching staff.
