If you hadn’t already heard, David Eckstein is now a member of the NL West leading Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Dodgers are facing the Dbacks in Phoenix this weekend and now’s as good a time as any to take a look at how well the blockbuster trades are faring for each team.
Since the trade, the Dodgers are 11-17 and have fallen to 4.5 games out of first place. In spite of this, Manny Ramirez [...]

Yes, there were baseball games last night, and I’ll get to them after the jump. But fIrst, I need to talk about the USA men’s basketball game versus Spain this morning at 10:15 AM. If the USA is to lose a game, it will be this one. Spain has legit NBA talent on its roster [...]
