Get Well Soon, Adam Dunn

Adam Dunn is going to miss at least 5 days after having an emergency appendectomy last night. The Chicago White Sox DH made it through twelve innings last night before leaving the game against the Royals. Pretty badass, no? You would hope he's a tough guy after the money they shelled out for him during the off season.

Speaking of the Royals... After last night's walk off win, they are still holding steady in first place of the AL Central. Granted, the season isn't even a week old yet, but still. It's been a while since they've enjoyed being on top. Let's let them enjoy it.

Adam LaRoche Gets Two-Year Deal from Nationals

Adam LaRoche and the Washington Nationals have finalized a contract worth roughly $16 million over two years.

After losing hard-hitting first baseman Adam Dunn to the Chicago White Sox via free agency, the Nationals attempted to fill that void by grabbing LaRoche off the free agent market.

LaRoche, 31, batted just .261 with the Arizona Diamondbacks last season, but nailed 25 home runs with a career-high 100 RBI.

Chicago White Sox Give Paul Konerko $37.5 Million

When Paul Konerko heard the news of Adam Dunn's signing with his Chicago White Sox, he thought:

Okay. Well, that was a fun 12 years. It's a him-or-me situation.

In fact, it almost ruined his vacation in Mexico.

Nice Work, Washington Natinoals

The Washington Nationals finally won a game. And it only took them eight tries. This can be blamed on poor pitching and even poorer offense. And defense.

Tonight, Curacaon youngster Shairon Martis stepped it up and threw 6.1 solid innings, allowing two runs on five hits. His performance had a steady foundation: Adam Dunn nailed a three-run shot off Philadelphia Phillies corn-fed righty Joe Blanton in the first inning. Which brings me to this open letter.

Spring Fever: WBC Dominance

We've seen this sort of thing before during All-Star games. It's unsettling, unnerving, and just plain wrong. Yet, there's something about Yankees and Red Sox players high-fiving eachother that pulls on the heart strings. It's opposing sides united for the cause. It's a beautiful thing.

Even youngster Dustin Pedroia is in on it, hanging a poster of Derek Jeter’s deodorant ad in his locker.
