The Kansas City Royals have sent down former first-round pick Billy Butler basically because he can’t hit right-handed pitching. He was hitting .263 on the season with 18 RBI and 1 HR.

It doesn’t seem like Harbaugh was one of the guys who decided to cut Freddie Mitchell in Philly. According to PFT, the Ravens worked out better-than-people-gave-him-credit-for WR Freddie Mitchell.

I’m not going to write about last night’s Detroit/Celtics game. Actually I’ll say one thing. How many times will Detroit play 24 seconds of awesome defense only to have someone on the Celtics throw up a horrible shot that banks in with zero time left on the shot clock? It’s absolute garbage. [...]

Brian Dawkins told Nick Fierro of the Express-Times that you can expect the Eagles to use the 3-4 defense a lot more this year. This makes sense with the signing of Chris Clemons, the drafting of Bryan Smith and the success that LB Chris Gocong had in the limited 3-4 defense last year. [...]

Matsuzaka said that he experienced something similar in Japan but pitched [...]
