Keri's and Tango's interests regarding the Expos are pretty well aligned.

Lofton's the only player in history to add 100 runs each at the plate, on the bases and in the field. It's a shame he got dismissed so quickly.

Raines also admitted he had a problem, got help, and kicked it in pretty short order.

LOL, I didn't see this until now. The real Erik Bedard is at @Erik_Bedard but he doesn't tweet anymore.

He's probably still getting ready to throw the next pitch.

Exactly. And if Schilling got wise by reading GRB, he'd have known the real Sidney Ponson is too busy fishing, polishing his 06 WS ring and livin the good life in Aruba.

Jonah is promising a hell of a Cooperstown party on social media and on our private Raines30 group on Yahoo.

Personally I have no problem with the drug stuff. I just get annoyed with anti-steroid crowd who conveniently ignore facts that don't fit their agenda.

Erik Bedard's Twitter account has come back from the dead: he just started following Texas Rangers catcher Robinson Chirinos.
