Well, I’ve never seen a puma in New York City (unless they were on someone’s feet) but reports are that the Yankees are set to acquire Houston’s very own Lance “Big Puma” Berkman for 2 minor league prospects as early as today. Here is the story written by Yanks homer Buster Olney

The Berkman deal likely will be completed before Saturday’s trade deadline. The Astros will pick up $4 million of the $7 million owed to Berkman this year and in his 2011 option, sources said.

The Yankees will send two prospects to the Astros: reliever Mark Melancon and infielder Jimmy Paredes.

All I got to say is dammit Albert you keep setting yourself up for people to rip you.You were bitching about having to play in a defensive system you didn’t like,whined about your money,and you put your middle finger up when iy came to OTA.But now Albert Haynesworth is huffing and puffing trying to get through the first day of training camp.Reports indicate that he was unable to finish a training exercise that involved doing a 300 yard shuttle sprint and just walked it halfway into it.Come on man step your game up or just sit your fat ass down on your big paycheck and watch some jersey shore.

I could hear the hearts of every Rockets fan break all the way in San Diego…

BEIJING – Houston Rockets center Yao Ming is considering quitting basketball after next season if he doesn’t fully recover from his lingering foot injury.

In comments to Chinese state media Monday, Yao sounded far from optimistic about his future and also made a rare criticism of China’s national basketball program.

“If the foot injury does not heal next season, I might choose to call it quits,” he said.

“There’s no way, with hindsight, I would’ve ever called up Larry [Bird], called up Magic [Johnson] and said, ‘Hey, look, let’s get together and play on one team,’” Jordan said after playing in a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada.
