Around SBN: Eden Hazard In London For Medical, According To Reports

Open Thread III - Boston Sux @ Oakland Awesome

Rajai_d_medium
Halfway through our ballgame tonight and Ben Sheets is doing some sort of inexplicable impression of Jamie Moyer out there, undoubtedly sending the scouts scurrying for the Saag's sausage stand.  A bomb from tha Raj has the A's down 2-1.  Eric Byrnes is still the dumbest idiot on TV anywhere.
