Rule 5

Starting today, Donald Veal and Andres Santos will attempt to fill the void left by Ronny Franchise. The P-G reports Ramon Vazquez will be signed soon. Vazquez's fourth most comparable batter is Ed Ott. Veal will be entertaining. Neal should hire Kerrigan some Special Assistants.

Farewell Ronny Ballgame

Ronny traded to the Phils for Jason Jamarillo, the P-G reports.

I've seen them; kids, men, women, worshippers all, hoping to get his name on a torn, dirty piece of paper, or hoping for a grunt of recognition when they said, 'Hi-ya, Ronny.' He never let them down; not once. He was the greatest crowd pleaser of them all.

Winter Meetings

The Marlins want Ronny but are underestimating his worth, Dejan reports from Las Vegas.

Cowboys Steelers

Should be a good one.
