   Fuckers.

   WASHINGTON - Federal health officials say the Georgia peanut plant at the center of the salmonella outbreak knowingly shipped tainted products.

   Previously, the Food and Drug Administration had said Peanut Corp. of America retested products after getting an initial positive result for salmonella. The agency said the company shipped the goods after follow-up tests came back negative.

   But Friday, the FDA said the company sent out peanut butter, chopped peanuts and peanut meal that had tested positive even before it got back any negative findings.

   Dodgers, Wolf Agree To Terms
   By Drew Silva [February 6, 2009 at 5:54pm CST]

   5:54pm: FOXSports.com’s Ken Rosenthal writes that the “deal is expected to be in the $5.5 million range and also will include incentives.”

   5:15pm: Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Dodgers have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with left-hander Randy Wolf.

   The exact financial terms are not yet available. Wolf, 32, went 12-12 for the Padres and Astros last season. He posted a 4.30 and struck out 162 batters over 190 1/3 innings. Wolf, a Type B free agent who was denied arbitration by the Astros, is joining a Dodgers rotation that already boasts Chad Billingsley, Hiroki Kuroda, Clayton Kershaw and Jason Schmidt. Shawn Estes or Eric Stults could slide in if Schmidt can’t work through his shoulder issues.

   Ken Rosenthal published a run-down of Wolf’s offseason in late January. The Astros offered but quickly pulled a three-year, $28.5MM offer in November.

   Twins, Luis Ayala Reach Agreement
   By Tim Dierkes [February 6 at 4:50pm CST]

   According to Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the Twins reached an agreement with reliever Luis Ayala today on a one-year, $1.3MM deal. He can earn another $575K in incentives. If met, he’d exceed his ‘08 salary of $1.7MM. Ayala was ranked as a Type B free agent after the season, but the Mets did not offer him arbitration.

   Ayala, 31, posted a 5.71 ERA in 75.6 innings for the Nationals and Mets last year. He stuck out just 5.95 per nine innings, but showed good control with a 2.85 BB/9. He showed an elevated groundball rate in his short stint with the Mets. FanGraphs valued last year’s performance at $100K.

   Fire the entire Rangers coaching staff now.

   That’s enough. I’ve got tickets to see the game versus the Devils at the Rock on Monday and if I do decide to go, there’s no way I can step into that building wearing Rangers gear. This team is a joke. No plan. No direction. Awful offense. Awful defense. The one player who was carrying them on his back for the past two seasons is finally feeling the effects of being hung out to dry night in and night out.

   Tonight it’s Vali who’s being hung out to dry and it is by far the worst beating I’ve ever seen a goal tender take. If I were him, after the game ends, I would walk up to Renney and I would punch him square in his jaw. Then I would turn to the rest of the team and let loose with a profanity laced tirade that would make Sgt. Hartman blush.

   Low point of the season. Low point of the last two decades.

   tim,

   from the wiki:

   When a plane crashes after a passenger transforms into a monster, the team suspects a possible smuggling of bioterror weapons, which is linked with John Scott. They also find a crystalline disk, similar to one seen inside the woman killed in “The Ghost Network”, in the passenger’s and his accomplice’s body. While solving the case, Olivia learns that John Scott was working undercover for the National Security Agency and his body is being kept by Massive Dynamic for extracting more information. Following Olivia’s successful operation to take down the weapons dealer, she returns to the sensory deprivation tank and bids farewell to John’s consciousness, which has finally left her own.
