Terry Francona Says Red Sox Owners Don't Really Care About Baseball
Terry Francona has a book coming out about his time in Boston.

Amir Johnson Took 3.5 Seconds Between Dribbles, And Did Not Get Called For A Double Dribble
It's sort of inexplicable how Toronto's Amir Johnson was able to get away with this.
