The Rundown: Sosa and Ricketts Make Nice, Cubs Still Seeking Pitchers, Rickey Henderson Passes Away

I was off last week and planned to provide more content than usual, but I fell sick, so I intend to fulfill that obligation this week and next. Life happens, though I’m 14 pounds leaner this morning than last week, so I’ll take the trade.

Speaking of trades, a lot happened while I was out. Sammy Sosa traded his pride for a chance to mend fences with Tom Ricketts. While I’m glad that Sosa will rejoin the Cubs family, I still think baseball owes a debt of gratitude to Sosa, Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Roger Clemens, et al.
