...sport's new poster boy for greed, and while Boras might claim that this is unfair because everyone is grabbing, he's wrong. Pedro Martinez of the Boston Red Sox is certainly the best pitcher in the game. The Red Sox are presently engaged in a bidding war for free agent Mike Mussina, surely one of the 25 or 30 best pitchers in the game.

...Just as often, though, San Pedro Sula's gangs do an excellent job of exterminating each other. Seventeen-year-old Cesar was spotted ambling down the street in his liquid, druggy gait by a bunch of 18 members. Once they zeroed in on the MS tattoos on his forehead, Cesar was cornered and shot four times, in the chest, his shoulders and legs...
