What does $100 million buy these days?
What does $100 million buy these days?...
You know those columns where the writer has no idea what point he wants to make, so he just provides a bunch of mind-boggling stats about what ridiculous contracts handed to athletes could buy? For example, Barry Zito’s $126 million contract (if taxes didn’t exist) could pay for 15,750,000...

Bochy’s veteran love went too far ...
Nate Schierholtz was eligible to come off the disabled list today. He wasn’t activated. In fact, Bruce Bochy said during the world famous “Bruce Bochy Show” that it was no big whoop, because Schierholtz wouldn’t have even started today, because the Dodgers’ starting pitcher...
