January 7th, 2008 · No Comments

I arrived in the house at the beginning of the third quarter. When I turned on the game, I was expecting the Bulls to be sitting ahead comfortably.

Over the past year, as most of you know, I’ve been a huge Beanie-Backer, even going so far as saying on more than one occasion this year that Wells should have been a Heisman candidate.  Wells responded with an incredible season, rolling to 1,436 yards, and 14 TD’s on the season.  Not only that, but Wells […]

Fantasy Baseball Intelligencer :: Cubs Deal Pagan Back to Mets

January 7th, 2008 · No Comments

The Cubs dealt outfielder Angel Pagan back to the Mets for two minor leaguers, right-handed pitcher Ryan Meyers and outfielder Corey Coles.
