Bad News Around the League

Boston isn't the only team dealing with problems (namely J.D. Drew's shoulder); there are plenty to go around:

The Reds: Ken Griffey Jr. broke his left hand "in an accident at home." I wonder how he did it?

The Marlins: Pitcher Dontrelle Willis was arrested for drunk driving Friday morning. That's trouble.

Teams all over: A man was caught stealing the identities of almost 90 baseball players, including Jim Thome of the White Sox and Moises Alou of the Mets. That's just foolish.

With all that bad news, there is one piece of good news: I finished my Christmas shopping today!
