Talks start as Mets try to nail down Santana – USATODAY.com

From the page: “The New York Mets have agreed to a trade for two-time Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana, giving up four prospects to acquire the left-handed ace of the Minnesota Twins.

The Mets paid a price in prospects to land Santana, agreeing to send the Twins outfielder Carlos Gomez and pitchers Phil Humber, Deolis Guerra and Kevin Mulvey.”

4 prospects for Santana? Seems like a crazy deal to me. Well done Mets. (My NL team).

Couple Busted in Car While “Testing 58 Erection Pills”

Everybody is guilty of the occasional in-car hanky panky, but a couple in The Hague, Netherlands has raised the bar. When confronted by officers suspicious of the fogged up windows (and rocking motion) the nude occupants offered a surprising excuse for their state – they claimed to be merely researching the effects of 58 erection pills. What?! Simultaneously? Sequentially? In one sitting? The 53 year old fellow and his 19 year old test volunteer almost got away with it, but the fuzz found some marijuana on the guy and summarily arrested him (out of jealousy).
