Daniel Cabrera is becoming a dominant force to be reckoned with. His intimidating presence on the mound coupled with his newfound control is a nasty combination. He pitched a complete game last night and with every start it seems his reputation around the league grow. He's the one player ...
Wily Mo Pena told me he and Miguel Tejada have talked hitting for years. The two often chatted when playing in the American League (Red Sox and Orioles respectively). They even played together on a team back in their homeland of the Dominican Republic. ...
About six months ago, while broadcasting the Willis McGahee show from Michael's Pub in Columbia, a fortuneteller of sorts shot me a text during a break. We had been discussing the ins and outs of the upcoming 2008 NFL draft and who we thought Ozzie would choose in the ...
