The Boston Red Sox announced the signing of veteran Carlos Delgado. He was signed to a minor league contract, but the club hopes he can make enough of an impact to join the major league team in the near future.

Delgado is a career .280 hitter that needs just 27 more homeruns to reach 500 in his career. Delgado has drove home over 1500 runs, playing in Toronto and then most recently New York, with the Mets.

The former All Star first basemen will begin in Triple A Pawtucket to work himself into playing condition. Delgado has not played all season after twice undergoing surgery to repair a hip injury.

Does Tiger Woods deserve to be on the Ryder Cup Team? That’s the question that must be passing through Cory Pavin’s mind right now as Tiger Woods missed yet another cut this season after finishing 6 over par at the Bridgestone Invitational. Tiger started out by shooting 2 over par the first round and had to get a good score during today’s round but ended up shooting 4 over instead. Tiger is so far from where he was pre-scandal it’s not even funny.

Anderson Silva likely to end Chael Sonnen’s hot streak at UFC 117

Trying to predict the outcome of most UFC fights can often be like guessing tomorrow’s lottery numbers as it can all be over in the matter of a few seconds if somebody gets caught in a choke hold and is forced to tap out.

When it comes to the Chael Sonnen (24-10-1) vs Anderson Silva (26-4) middleweight fight at the UFC 117 at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California on Aug. 7th, though, it looks like Silva should take this one. Sonnen basically earned the right to take him on after beating Nate Marquardt by a unanimous decision in UFC 109. But does he really have what it takes to beat Silva?

The Los Angeles Angels bolstered their starting rotation for the final two months of the season on Sunday when they pulled the trigger on a deal for Diamondbacks ace Dan Haren. Haren is 7-8 with a 4.60 earned run average, while striking out 141 batters. His last start for Arizona was a win over the Mets, in which he lasted six innings.

In return, Los Angeles shipped Joe Saunders to Arizona, along with several minor league prospects. Saunders is 6-10 on the season with a 4.62 earned run average. In his last outing as an Angel, he went seven innings in a 1-0 loss at divisional leading Texas.

The Angels are in need of pitching help, as they sit with a 4.40 team earned run average, which ranks them 23rd in all of baseball. Joel Piniero is leading the team in wins, with 10, while Jered Weaver has a team best earned run average of 3.22.
