The Braves just signed Billy Wagner to a one-year, $7 million dollar deal with a vesting option . Besides the obvious pain of the Braves improving by adding a player that was very good for the Mets , the Red Sox now get the 20th pick in the draft and a supplemental first round pick, both of which the Mets would have received if they had just hung onto Wagner until the end of the season.

Chris Carter of UC Davis sets a new career receiving record with 208 catches on this play in the first half. Tony Kays knew this Chris Carter kid could be something special.

He joked with Carter often during his final season, saying he was scared the then redshirt freshman would break his record one day. That...
