(Get) A Sporting Life

This is something I'd missed on the rundown of Cards' draft picks : Shane Boras, 2B, Junipero Serra Catholic HS: Yup, he's the son of Scott Boras. I guess it can't hurt to have the devil's kid on the payroll, huh? I can hear the threats now: "Give us a 'hometown' discount or the kid gets sent to the Quad Cities!"

"One of us shall remain an unnamed pasty, ballless prick. The other is on the left." As a shout out to JoMo in a dreadful off-season let me offer up these gems: General Manager: "We're negotiating in good faith." Translation: His agent is a prick. Agent: "A lot of clubs have expressed interest" Translation: He received several nice Christmas cards from ex-managers.
