Pitcher Shawn Chacon suspended indefinitely after grabbing GM's neck and toss...
When Shawn Chacon gets demoted to the bullpen, it's not a good idea to be the general manager of the team that feels Shawn Chacon has performed bad enough to be demoted to the bullpen.
Naturally after indefinite suspension for insubordination, Chacon has demanded to be traded...

Clemens & McNamee Testify Before Congress
Roger Clemens and his former trainer Brian McNamee are testifying before Congress right now in regards to allegations of steroid usage, HGH usage, potential perjury, etc...
Here's an excerpt from the running blog by ESPN.com's Jayson Stark:
"12:06 p.m. ET
Rep. John Tierney had an experience many of us in the media have had while trying to interview Clemens: We ask one thing. He gives an answer that seems to be in response to some whole other question. And no matter how hard we try, he keeps answering the question he hears, not the question we asked.
Tierney noted three specific times Clemens told investigators he'd never talked to McNamee about HGH -- but then cited two occasions when he confronted McNamee about his injection of his wife with HGH.
Repeatedly, Tierney asked Clemens how he "reconciled" that inconsistency. Repeatedly, Clemens gave answers that indicated that "prior" to those conversations, he'd never had a "specific" discussion with McNamee about HGH.

Been there. Done that. " Roger Clemens and his former trainer Brian McNamee are testifying before Congress right now in regards to allegations of steroid usage... more -
Miggy goes Texan in 6 player trade to 'stros!!
After 4 years of trade rumors since signing his massive contract with the Orioles, Miguel Tejada is free from the sinking ship that is the Baltimore Orioles franchise.
This did cost the Astros Luke Scott, Michael Costanzo, Matt Albers, Dennis Sarfate, and Troy Patton.
Knowing how great the Orioles can be when it comes to any move under the Peter Angelos ownership, the Orioles got nothing in exchange for a salary dump.
The question now is, will Tejada and Kazuo Matsui be enough to pull the Astros out of the cellar? After 4 years of trade rumors since signing his massive contract with the Orioles, Miguel Tejada is free from the sinking ship that is... more
