Derek Norris accused of domestic violence by his ex. Same day Addison Russell ditto.

Covered in the posts above yours.  But be clear about this - Norris' ex accused him on her freaking instagram.  Russell's ex didn't accuse him of anything but cheating, it was someone who COMMENTED on her stupid instagram accusing him of hitting her, I just think it's beyond ridiculous a social media post by a stranger can spur investigations and headlines screaming out "Russell accused of domestic violence!" hey maybe I should mess with Kershaw and comment on his twitter I once saw him kick a puppy

I remember my Grandfather sayin' something along those lines a long time ago (pre-PC).     Age has it's privileges.     Folks just look away and shake their heads.

I didn't see Kershaw kick a puppy but I did see him lick his fingers in a Subway commercial  .....

If Clayton Kershaw KICKED THIS DOG, then MLB should investigate him for professional jealousy and possible abuse of dog treats, to maintain his own abilities.

Oh, kickin' Kershaw is the only way go go.

Rays DFA Derek Norris to clear a spot for Wilson Ramos.

I would sign him .

Rays DFA Derek Norris to clear a spot for Wilson Ramos.

a HR last night and I think a few runs scored as a parting gift.  So, he was beat out by Jesus Sucre?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Wilson playing today.  MLB network guy acted surprised when given the nickname "Buffalo."  "Is that right?"

also, through 4, the Os have only given up 3 runs.
