Are they going to trade Ellsbury along with Bucholtz for Adrien Gonzalez (If so, 33 Problems’ sister would literally move to San Diego and claim that she was a lifelong Padre’s fan.) Are they just going to platoon Hermida and Cameron ReallyReallyThey’s something else going down. So much for that bridge year."Don't Cry for Me Minnesota"Joe Mauer Needs to Stay Put:You would think the Twins would become players in something soon if they want to keep Joe Mauer happy. Editors Note: See Cleveland Cavaliers, Lebron James. Any contract the Twins could possible afford to give Mauer would be a require a hometown discount. No way the Twins are going to match what the yankees, Red Sox, or Mets would be willing to pay for his services.The way to keep Mauer would be to sign or trade for a serious guy (JJ Hardy does not count) to show that they are willing to build around Joe, then to offer him a contract rich for the Twins (roughly 40,000 grand a year plus health insurance but no 401k matching) This guy is from Minnesoooota He grew up rooting for the Twins This is the only leverage they have. Joe can make more money, a lot more if you include endorsements (Accenture is looking), in a big East Coast Market He’s also going to be a contender every year. The Twins can’t just punt like they did on Santana when they got fleeced by the Mets.Mauer needs to stay in Minny because I like watching good baseball games with good players with some semblance or competitive balance.Mauer needs to stay in Minny because he is the heart of a quality franchise was the only interesting thing about the end of the season last year.Mauer needs to stay in Minny because it will give the AL Central a bona fide superstar.But mostly Mauer needs to stay in Minny because it will serve as an example that players aren’t just in it for the money, that small market teams don’t just serve as a glorified farm team to the big guys in Boston and Philly and LA and New York. It will be something that we can all point to when we get cynical about this sport Stay put Joe They’ll name a street after you..

Discord has replaced the amity that has allowed those in Foxboro to serve as the cornerstone by which to measure the success of a championship-caliber team. Even their coach’s competence is being questioned with his ambiguous fourth down decisions.While Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons and Joe Flacco of the Baltimore Ravens seem to be suffering from a mild case of the sophomore slump, Tennessee’s Chris Johnson and Baltimore’s Ray Rice are feeling just fine and blossoming into legitimate backfield threats.Two years ago, the Patriots shocked the football world by finishing the regular season without a loss, something that hadn’t been done since the 1972 Miami Dolphins. This year, there are two teams who are endeavoring to do the same. The Colts and the Saints have relatively easy schedules for the remainder of their year, and I don’t foresee either team falling to an opponent.For teams like the Denver Broncos and the Cincinnati Bengals, the future is promising. A solid draft and fortuitous trading have left both teams with a talented roster.For teams like the Panthers and the Cowboys, the talent is there, but the leadership is lacking.This year has also been fraught with comeback players working to prove themselves in a league where second chances are few and far between. Cincinnati took a chance on Benson, and he has rewarded them with a large contribution to their 9-4 record.

While they may not be meeting Chad’s previous conjecture, they are certainly doing better than expected.Even two of the worst teams in the NFL are generating excitement. The Detroit Lions and the Cleveland Browns played, arguably, the best game of the year. Both Matthew Stafford and Brady Quinn put up extraordinary numbers in a match that featured eight lead changes and an unbelievable fourth quarter drive by Stafford and company to put his team on top for good.In a world where sports can quickly become hackneyed and dull, it’s refreshing to see a league where records are constantly broken and reset to a standard that stands beyond former generations.Even the sometimes inadequate Chad Henne of the Miami Dolphins just broke the record for most consecutive completed passes in a single game (17), a franchise record previously owned by the great Dan Marino.Sure, some things remain a constant like the tides. The Colts are still faced with the prospect of resting their starters for the remainder of the season, the Lions are still a calamity, and the Cowboys are yet again winless in December.It’s hard to imagine a season without its ups and downs, but without a fair amount of disequilibrium, we lose those thrilling endings That hasn’t been a problem either. By Harriet McLeod CHARLESTON, S.C., Jan 8 (Reuters) - The case of Ali al-Marri, accused of being an al Qaeda "sleeper" agent and held for 5-1/2 years at a U.S. In his first month in office, Obama will have to tell the Supreme Court whether he will abandon his predecessor's claim that anyone the president deems a national security threat can be imprisoned indefinitely without charges in the United States. Marri is the only person still held in the United States as an "enemy combatant." His case is a test of the limits of presidential power and could also affect any plan to bring some of the 250 prisoners being held at a U.S military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to U.S shores The Supreme Court set a Feb.
