Yanks tell A-Rod to keep cousin O-U-T

The New York Yankees have reportedly told Alex Rodriguez to keep his cousin away from the ballpark. This includes their spring training and regular season games.

Well, see what happens when ignorant cousins start shooting up together.

Dodgers make Manny Ramirez a new offer

The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly made a 45 million dollar offer to Manny just being Manny Ramirez. The first year would guarantee 25 million, while the second year is worth 20 million and is a player option. That means Manny could be.. well... Manny and refuse it and become a free agent after the 2009 season.

Manny and his agent Boras have not accepted the offer as of yet. Negotiations are still ongoing.

How much money does this guy need???

Atlanta Braves prospect Schafer impresses/Jurrjens falters

Atlanta Braves outfield prospect Jordan Schafer hit a leadoff homerun in the seventh inning in a loss to the Detroit Tigers. He also scored twice.

Atlanta Braves young pitcher Jair Jurrjens gave up two runs and four hits in two innings against his former team. Jo-Jo Reyes then came in and allowed only one run in two innings.

For the Detroit Tigers, Brandon Inge was two for two and Gerald Laird tripled and doubled in his first two at bats.

Oh Noes! A-Rod homered!

Well, in the Yankees first spring training game, Alex Rodriguez hit a two run homerun in his second at bat. Guess he's gotta be juiced now! It was also reported that he left in his "injection loving" cousin's SUV. "He must have went to get injected"! Oh, dear God!

A-Rod also walked twice in the game.

Vernon Wells Injury Update

Toronto Blue Jays CF Vernon Wells will miss two weeks with injury. Wells re-injured the same hamstring that put him on the DL for 52 games last year.

"I don't think it's that big of a deal" said Wells.

At least it's not serious, so that should give the Jays a sigh of relief.

Ron Kittle fears for Canseco's safety

LMAO!

Don't fear for Jose, Mr. Kittle. Even if someone does "shoot" him like you "fear", he only did it to himself.

Even if what Jose said before made him seem crazy for pointing the finger at such players(A-Rod), he's now been vindicated by being a truth tattletale.

Jose's a big man, a big man on steroids, so hitting him in the "junk" won't work.
