While I try to figure out what I want to write, here’s a few links to some of the baseball things I’ve read this morning. They include articles about the Red Sox fan killed in NH, a baseball recap from yesterday, Ozzie Guillen and his blow up toys, and a look at Robinson Cano today and last season.

If you’re looking to find out all the highlights from last night’s baseball slate you don’t have to sit through an entire episode of sports center, or read every recap on FoxSports. Instead you can just go to Baseball Digest Daily, here they’ve got all the scores, todays matchups, as well as all the star performers from yesterday.
Finally, the woman has been caught and charged in the recent murder of a Boston Red Sox fan, outside of a bar in New Hampshire. If you haven’t heard, this is being mentioned here because it was a New Yankees fan who committed the murder, in an argument about which team is better. Who would of thought this rivalry would have actually gone that far? I love my Yankees, and truly hate those Sox but would never think of doing something like this. But go here MassLive.com, they are trying to start a petition to get the fan a day of tribute at Fenway Park during an upcoming Boston game. Go there and show your support, even if you hate the Sox and their fans, it’s the right thing to do.
Next we’ve got an article about the struggles of Yankees 2B Robinson Cano. Cano is a lifetime .297 hitter but is still batting a .154. I’ve seen quite a few games this year, and i have to say he has been quite unlucky with some of the rockets he’s hit. BUT, that still would probably bring him to like a .240-.250 or so, it’s been obvious he’s struggling at the plate. The Hardball Times, takes a look at his struggles and breaks down this year and last year.
Finally, We are the Postmen, have an article about Ozzie Guillen and his antics in Chicago. Almost everyone has heard about his outburst the other day, saying the White Sox are Chicago’s bitch. Well just days after, the team is now embroiled in more controversy after offending a female reporter in the clubhouse. Supposedly, the team has two blow up dolls in the locker room, with bats doing naughty things to it. Great job, Ozzie. Go check out the story guys.
