Chargers Sign 13-year Veteran Tackle Jon Runyan, Clary Placed On IR – The Chargers last night placed right tackle Jeromey Clary on injured reserve and signed 13-year veteran Jon Runyan, who it turns out has long been an object of their desire.
Immediately after Sunday’s game in Denver, when a preliminary diagnosis regarding Clary’s left ankle was given to General Manager A.J. Smith, the team contacted Runyan, sources said yesterday.
A contract was offered before the team’s plane took off for San Diego on Sunday night, terms were agreed upon Monday afternoon and Runyan signed the contract upon arriving at Chargers Park early last night, the sources said. – SignOnSanDiego.com

Matt Antonelli’s Blog – Courtesy of GasLampBall, former 1st-round pick (#17 overall) Matt Antonelli has a blog that has some interesting stuff on the life of a prospect/minor leaguer. There’s also video of his first major league hit off of Greg Maddux and as an added bonus Vin Scully has the call, pretty cool. I’m pulling for him to have a strong 2010 season and to be ready to take over for Eckstein in 2011. Now the bad news, he’s a Patriots fan. – Matt Antonelli’s Blog
