Former Sox free-swinger Juan Uribe has found a home. He signed a minor-league deal with the San Fransisco Hippies at Haight-Ashbury Giants. {Chicago Tribune.}

Do you remember Corie Blount? Of course you do. The Bulls drafted him back in the 90s, when grunge music was really cool. Well, he’s just been indicted on charges of selling and possessing marijuana.
