Bengie! Speedster!

I hope to see replays, but how does Bengie Molina get a triple? Anyone?

So Long, Mr. Vishnevski

As reported here

the Anaheim Ducks traded away Vitaly Vishnevski to Atlanta for some big tough guy. Now, you must be saying, who is this guy. Well I will tell you, he was a pretty steady defensive defenseman over the last 6 years, helping the (former Mighty) Ducks twice go deep in the playoffs.
He was a good player, and it was fun watching. But I guess with the Chris Pronger movement, there wouldn't be any room. And for that, I'm ok with it.

Hinske

Eric Hinkse. 2002 Rookie of the year with the Toronto Blue Jays. With the team for the last four years. Traded away last night, for pretty much nothing. It is a bit depressing in a way, because as we have come to know him this year, if he is up to bat, he will strike out. So the odd time he does come through with a hit, its big news. I'm going to miss Hinkse and his crappiness, and him striking out atleast 4 times a game, for he always made me laugh.

So I say, Cheers to Hinkse, for hitting a few dingers during his time as a Jay.
