Red Sox Sign Vicente Padilla To Minor League Deal
2012-01-16 23:47:00 If it seems like Boston Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington is shopping in the clearance aisle for pitching, well folks he is doing just that. According to Peter Gammons, the Red Sox have signed Vicente Padilla to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training.

Red Sox Sign Aaron Cook To Minor League Deal
2012-01-09 17:05:00 As the Boston Red Sox found out during the 2011 season, you can never have enough starting pitching. According to multiple reports, the Red Sox have added some pitching depth by signing former Colorado Rockies pitcher Aaron Cook to a minor league deal. Alex Speier of WEEI.com reports that Cook will make $1.5 million if he makes the big league roster. Cook has spent his entire 10 year career as a member of the Rockies. In that time, he was 72-68 with a 4.53 ERA. He was hurt for part of the 2011 season and only made 18 appearances (17 starts). In those 18 appearances (17 starts), Cook was 3-10 with a 6.03 ERA. If Cook can rebound from his injuries, he could be a valuable addition to the Red Sox staff. At the very least, he could probably start the season with the Pawtucket Red Sox and be one of the first callups if an injury were to happen to any of the Red Sox starters.

Angels Sign Jorge Cantu To Minor League Deal
2012-01-07 03:11:00 The Angels have signed Jorge Cantu to a minor league contract, reports Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times (Twitter link). Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reported earlier today that the two sides were close to an agreement. Cantu, who turns 30 on January 30, posted a .194/.232/.285 slash line in 155 plate appearances for the Padres last season before being released and finishing the year with the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate in Colorado Springs. Cantu has played mostly first and third base in his Major League career and is still capable of playing second on a limited basis. Cantu isn't far removed from a very productive stint with the Marlins (a .283/.336/.462 line and 45 homers in 2008-09) and gives the Angels a more powerful option at third than incumbent Alberto Callaspo. Cantu could also provide backup for Albert Pujols at first, given that Mark Trumbo is still recovering from a stress fracture in his foot and Kendrys Morales' health is a question mark after missi...

Red Sox Sign 12 Free Agents To Minor League Contracts
2012-01-04 01:36:00 Here is a press release from the Boston Red Sox announcing the signing of 12 free agents to minor league contracts. A few of these we already knew about.

Red Sox Re-Sign Rich Hill To Minor League Deal
2011-12-31 06:26:00 When Rich Hill was non-tendered by the Boston Red Sox earlier this month, I had said that it wouldn't surprise me if they re-signed him to a minor league deal. And that's exactly what has happened. John Tomase of the Boston Herald was the first to learn that the Red Sox have re-signed Hill to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training. Hill was having a great season with the Red Sox last season before he blew out of his elbow on June 1st and then underwent Tommy John surgery weeks later. He spent the rest of the season rehabbing with the team and was part of the bullpen band during games. He made nine appearances for the Red Sox last year, throwing eight innings and striking out 12. In his 15 appearances with the Red Sox between 2010 and 2011, Hill has not allowed a run. Hill had been the best lefty in the Red Sox bullpen after others failed. One could say the loss of Hill hurt the bullpen a little as no lefty was able to match what Hill was able to do. While it do...

Three-way race for the J. League title
2011-10-28 08:41:00 And then there were three. Two familiar contenders, one plucky outsider and four league games are all that stand between Kashiwa Reysol, Gamba Osaka, Nagoya Grampus and the J. League title.Autumn is especially beautiful across the Kant? Plain, when the deciduous leaves fall and a mellow sunlight light frames the back streets and alleys of one of the world's most populous regions. That's true even in the gritty industrial Chiba town of Kashiwa, where the locals are hoping their promoted upstarts can win back to back championships.Kashiwa Reysol coasted through J2 last season, holding off the challenge of Ventforet Kofu to win the second division by ten points. At the helm was grizzled Brazilian coach Nelsinho, whose association with Japanese football is so lengthy his first club Verdy was still based in Kawasaki. The much-travelled tactician won the J.

Japan's never-ending Nabisco Cup nonsense
2011-10-05 04:31:00 The sight of Gamba Osaka running out at Expo '70 Stadium tonight is unlikely to fill their fans with hope. It's more likely to fill those in attendance with a sense of trepidation as the team currently leading the J. League standings does battle with defending Nabisco Cup champions Jubilo Iwata for a trophy no one genuinely wants to win.Last weekend, Gamba celebrated twenty years at their Banpaku home with a well deserved 1-0 win over bitter rivals Urawa Reds which kept them top of the league. Tonight, however, Gamba run out at their crumbling home ground to take part in one of the most chaotically organised League Cup competitions in recent history.March's devastating T?hoku earthquake not only saw the J. League put on hold, it also prompted the complete reorganisation of the League Cup - known to all and sundry as the Nabisco Cup after its biscuit-producing sponsor. Two rounds of hastily arranged home-and-away fixtures were organised but as in previous seasons, Japan's four AF...

City beat Everton 2:0 and are still unbeaten in England.My thoughtsTop placed Bayern is welcoming the new boys Man City in a clash that should answer some questions in this Group A. The home side is flying on the wings of 9 wins in a row in all competitions while also managed to keep clean sheets in all of them. Bayern beat Villarreal 2:0 in the opening fixture and another win on Tuesday night will leave them at the top of the group. The pressure is clearly on visitors side and that can reflect in open game with lots of chances in front of Joe Hart. Bayern will surely score a goal here ...

It is time to rebuild some pride and that is why I have carefully chosen the game from UEFA Europa League coupon and spent more time on selecting the winning bet.Last gameHapoel won 4:0 in the first leg and it was obvious Vaduz are way out of their league. Now it is time to warm up for the next round and winning always tastes good in Europe.My thoughtsHapoel Tel Aviv had the job done early in the first leg and bookies are suspicious about them playing at full speed tonight. That is why guests received odds around even here - 1/1 or 2.00 in Decimal on bet365 this morning. Considering the big quality gap we have between both squads and the aggressive away style of Hapoel, it looks like a must shot at the visitors.I was even thinking of taking Hapoel to cover the handicap, but after I have lost some money on Slovan yesterday, prefer to stick with the safe...

Another betting pick loaded today with a huge possible return for your stake. Ready?

As both domestic championships are in a very early phase or even not started yet, I won't take the local results in consideration.My thoughtsI know 0:0 can be a tricky first leg result but in that case it means to me Slovan had the job almost done and now just need to perform at their usual best in front of the fans. Apoel have lost their chance at home and it will be a mountain to climb to produce any shocking result here - Slovan have the experience and the home ground on their side.

2011-08-02 09:00:00 Bukomir's Predictions2 August, 2010Tallaght StadiumShamrock v Copenhagenko 19:45 GMTWith the new England Premier League season knocking on the door, I have decided to warm up a bit and have a shot on UEFA Champions League qualifications betting.Surprise in Dublin, anyone?Last gameThis is the return leg and Copenhagen have a slightly 1:0 advantage after the first 90 minutes.Shamrock last domestic game with Bray was postponed and the team had plenty of time to focus on this one in what can be a huge history breakthrough.

Popularity of Chicago Singles Only Softball League Growing Rapidly
2011-06-22 02:21:00 When it comes to Chicago baseball, the current focus is on the intra-city series between the Cubs and White Sox. Of course, both teams being under .500 means this year lacks a serious buzz (last night's game at the Cell set a new low for crosstown classic single game attendance). However, I have a seen a unique Chicago baseball (well, softball actually) media story emerge. After all, this is the city where the game was invented (Thanksgiving 1887 at the Farragut Boat Club) and the sport's biggest star, Jennie Finch played professionally. And now a new chapter in Chicago softball history. S3 Softball is a 16" non competitive singles only league. Yep, singles only, which makes playing in...
