One of our favorite blogs, Pitchers and Poets, is calling quits. We don’t expect that this’ll be the last we hear from Eric and Ted, though (and there’s always their bitchin’ tumblr site to follow).
Meanwhile, another old friend, Jay Jaffe, makes his debut at SI.com today. Head on over and bookmark his new address.
And in Yankeeland, Brett Gardner is inching toward a return. Won’t be this week though. Can’t be soon enough.

Al, does P&P have a farewell post or something? All I see is that one on Berkman's injury...
My Little Hoof injury:
Dustin Pedroia jammed his thumb (Valentine insists it is not a sprain); the Sox have not announced the results of his MRI but a leak in the clubhouse says he'll likely be out a month.
The Red Sox try for the seventh time this season to get themselves over .500. Without Pedroia. Facing Verlander.
Jon, we'll have one up soon. Alex, preeminent gossip columnist that he is, has beaten us to the punch.
Ya just can't trust the bastard.
Poor Pedroia. sniff-sniff...
So, naturally, the Sox take a 4-0 lead.
