Red Sox release former Cardinal Craig

​I won't lie to you: I really saw this partnership going better.

The Boston Red Sox and Allen Craig seemed like a match made in Heaven; high-OBP guy with serious pop heading to the organization other than the Cardinals that most valued his talents? In a John Lackey deal? Seemed like a slam dunk.

Unfortunately, things never go as scripted. Joe Kelly's the main piece of that deal, and Craig, fresh off a .316 slugging percentage at Triple-A Pawtucket, has finally played his last game in the organization.

​​This really was a baffling downfall for Craig. In 2013 for a Cards team that lost the World Series to the very same Red Sox, he hit .315 with 13 homers and a more impressive 97 RBI. At the very next trade deadline, he found himself in Boston, and he hit only .128.

He's still only 32! This slippery slope remains entirely confusing. But best of luck to Craig in getting back on track. He's always seemed like a skilled gamer, and we can't help but think there's something left in the tank...somewhere.

Perhaps a Cardinals reunion?

The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW. Because of the furor from such display of opulence, Pres. Aquino claimed to have sold it six months later for exactly the same price. According to Tiglao during that time he asked through his column the LTO to release the car's deed of sale and registration to prove that it was not a gift from a Chinese-Filipino tycoon as rumored by some individuals critical to the President. The only possible way to discover whether the Porsche luxury was indeed sold was through ...
