Give the Marlins one thing — at least they’re consistent; consistently cheap. Today a deal should be finalized that sends slugger Miguel Cabrera and pitcher Dontrelle Willis to the Tigers for 6 prospects. They are one of only three teams to win multiple World Series Championships in the last ten years, so maybe they have the game figured out?

A 17-year-old, Eric Rivera, is allegedly the culprit who murdered Sean Taylor. His lawyers want a plea deal, while the lawyer for one of the other three young men charged with first-degree felony murder and armed burglary is positioning his case in a way that would contend his client had no idea a gun would be used. At any rate, I hope this case is speedy and justice is swift.

No “Urinator” needed in this case.
