Yesterday was the first day of Puerto Rico Baseball League game-play. We are lucky to have two clients on Ponce, the most dominant team in the league. The players are Pete Parise and Roberto Feliciano. This weekend is a big road game for the Florida Gators. Coach Spurrier will definitely put up a fight against us. The law school semester is coming to a close. For my paper-based classes, it is crunch time. For the others, I will soon have to hit the books and get prepared to take some difficult final exams. Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

Center fielder Milton Bradley has a new home nowadays. The Chicago Cubs have agreed to a 3-year, $30-million contract with Bradley. In order to make some room for Milton, the Cubs have to finalize the deal that will send Jason Marquis to the Rockies for Luis Vizcaino.

Last year, Bradley batted .321 with 22 home runs while playing for the Texas Rangers. In a nine year career with 6 different teams, Bradley has batted .280 with 103 home runs and 399 RBIs.
