The Astros have hired Red Sox bench coach Brad Mills as their new manager.

[The coaches failed to make] our points more compelling than their fat little girlfriends. Now their fat little girlfriends have some obvious advantages. For one thing, their fat little girlfriends are telling them what they want to hear, which is 'how great you are' and 'how easy its going to be' and we had a bunch of people who wanted to win the football game but nobody wanted to play the football game..........I don't know if I will be successful this week or not but I am going to try and there will be some people inconvenienced and if it happens to be their fat little girlfriends too bad.

Jaramillo said in a radio interview, the day after decision to turn down a Rangers contract was announced, that he thought Kinsler was trying to overdo things this year, especially once Hamilton and then Young were injured. Kinsler didn’t take the right approach to the plate, Jaramillo said, opening up too quickly and not figuring out a way to fix it. Jaramillo’s remarks were just short of throwing Kinsler under the bus, considering his job as hitting coach was to give the player the means to fix things.

'Our infield sucks. It's the worst in the game. I'm not lying about that,' said Pedroia, who blamed the grounds crew. 'That stuff upsets me. My job's to take 1,000 ground balls a day and the others guys' jobs are to get the field perfect so we can play baseball.'

Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers was so drunk when he returned home from a night of carousing at 6 am Saturday - while his team was in the process of choking away the AL Central - that his wife was forced to call 911. The audio is very depressing. Listen to it all - you can hear Miguel Cabrera getting belligerent with the cops in the background.

911 Operator: Has he hit you?
Cabrera’s wife: Yeah.

OT - Yay, City & Villa draw - best possible result at this point I think
