Managing Man United is easier than Moyes is making it.

questioned why Napoli was holding Wong at first base, only to eat their words

I didn't get McCarver's complaint when there was only one out: you have a double play possibility with a sinkerball pitcher, why not keep the runner honest? But I don't really get the value of holding Wong with two outs. It worked, but it seemed curious to me (not that I know a lot of baseball strategy).

Brandon Meriweather responds to criticism about as well as you'd imagine.

"To be honest, you've just got to go low now. You gotta end people's career. U gotta tear people's ACL's. You gotta tear peoples ACL's . Mess up people's knees. You can't him them high anymore. You've just got to go low. I'm hitting defenseless running backs. I've never heard of a defenseless running back."

How much Molson? Several cases?, A whole truckload? Yeah, I know. It's spelled differently, but maybe such a deal could be worth it.

The latest in a proud line of franchises (and goaltenders) to do so.

Well, the Sabres do have Miller & Moulson now, if we can get Keith out of Chicago.....

Now the Sabres can focus on messing up the draft picks they have accumulated.
