News items: Bruney, Veras, Wang, Sosa

Brian Bruney was activated earlier today, meaning that Jose Veras was designated for assignment. (Ed. note: Hooray!)

Chien-Ming Wang and his wife Chia-Ling gave birth to a son today.  No, the child’s name does not contain a “Ch-” or a “-ng.”  They named him “Justin Jesse.”  Yes, really.

And finally, Sammy Sosa reportedly tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003.  I say: “good.”
