Text Box: likable among players. “Get rid of maple bats, absolutely” said Milwaukee Brewers manager Ken Macha when he was asked after Colvin’s injury. You decided! Do you think that maple bats should be banned from baseball? Text Box: Tyler Colvin, a Chicago Cubs outfielder was punctured with a broken maple bat Sunday the 19th. He was coming home on a hit by Wellington Castillo for a double, when he was punctured in the upper left part of his chest. It was inches away from his heart.

He is expected to be in the Text Box: hospital until Thursday the 23rd. There was a similar incident in 2005.

Text Box: Have you ever had 2 friends that both say things behind the others back? And then they are like angels when they are near each other? I see it happen ALL the time. It’s totally ridiculous. If you have a problem with someone, say so. If someone says something that offends you, tell them, and DON’T just give them a dirty look and wait till later to gossip with your friends. Telling secrets about someone else drives me nuts. Whenever someone tries to tell me something about someone, they always sound so shocked about whatever it is. I just shrug, though. Who cares? It’s their business and unless they come for help to you, don’t worry about it. Also, telling other people a friend’s secret when they specifically said NOT to tell ANYONE is really annoying. Be a loyal friend, Stay a loyal friend.
