I know for most of the Rams fan base, the Brian Quick train has shipped and sailed.  But I believe in Brian Quick's third season he will be very productive in the Ram's offense this year.

The San Diego Padres have had an underwhelming season so far to date, being stuck under the .500 mark and being out of the NL West Division title race altogether. They have continued to battle issues with a less than formidable offense that has left them scrapping for runs in most games. The pitching though has been a very bright spot for the club. The star that has risen in that regard is Tyson Ross, who has had a very interesting road to get to this point in his career.

The Injection of the "Ejection"

He stole 2nd base!! No, he literally has taken 2nd base and tossed it on the field.  
No, this is not the work of a drunken streaker at a minor league game but these are some minor league antics. Antics or should I say passionate team management at its finest. Growing up playing baseball, I would have daydreams of hitting home runs and stealing bases that clinched division titles for my team, but secretly I was saving something for later, something later to imitate, something that was my secret favorite part of the game.

Angels Manager Mike Scioscia recently made his feelings known on Josh Hamilton & his lack of power to the press.
