Written by Andrew Reilly
Anyway, as much fun as it is to bemoan the less-than-stellar output of the $68 million, two-time All-Star* and fifth-best rookie** of 2004, can anyone really get too upset over that heinous 13-for-97 start to Rios’ Hall of Fame run on the South Side? Bizarre feelings of entitlement to the...

Oakland Series Preview

20 Sep 2008 12:46:31 PDT

Written by Andrew Kneeland(noreply@blogger.com)
