Yesterday, I went to the Yankees v. Orioles game up in the Bronx. It was a bunch of fun. One third of the team was former Phillies as Bobby Abreau, Corey Lidle, and my favorite, Sal Fasano (most amazing facial hair in baseball right now) all started the game. Christina Aguilera managed to take in the game as well, but was not seated near me and the rest of the bleacher creatures. (Note to anyone planning on sitting the bleachers, they do not sell French fries! I was a little disappointed but had to settle for cotton candy. Mmmmm!) I almost forgot, the Yankees lost 3-2. This is the first Yankee game I’ve ever been to, where the Yankees didn’t win. The streak had to come to an end sometime. I’ll be back in the Bronx in September so we’ll see how long this new streak will last.

Zayra was booted off of Rock Star: Supernova last night. I’m a little upset that I forgot to tape it, so I could see her terrible performance one last time. Hopefully, it will end up youtube.
Braves Update:
The Yankees weren’t the only team that lost last night, as the Braves fell to the Nationals 9-6. John Smoltz recorded his first loss in nearly two months. It was also the second straight game that saw Ryan Langerhans in center field for the Bravos. Andruw Jones was injured Monday, when he accidentally walked in Langerhans’ cleat in the clubhouse. (Details still don’t make much sense.) Apparently, Ryan has been feeling the heat, with Diaz doing so well and all. Jones was able to get a pinch hit RBI last night. Adam LaRoche hit a homerun in the 8th, his 24th of the season, but it was not enough. The Braves conclude their series with the Nationals today at RFK Stadium at 1:05 on TBS.
Braves note: Outfielder and sometimes first baseman, Scott Thorman was sent down to AAA-Richmond to make room for pitcher Lance Cormier, who started on Tuesday and is scheduled to start on Sunday. Thorman will most likely be called back up when the Braves will be able to expand their roster in September.
Games to .500: 9
Games behind Cincinnati Reds: 6.5
Games behind New York Mets: 16

NASCAR Update:
Sterling Marlin has been thinking about the future. Since he’s been running so stellar since his season ending injury in the 2002 season, I couldn’t fathom why he is thinking about retirement, but apparently he is.
Giants Update:
Giants take on the Chiefs tonight at Giant Stadium. Eli Manning will be joined by back up quarterbacks Tim Hasselbeck and Rob Johnson as well as the preseason debuts of Jeremy Shockey and Tiki Barber. The game is at 8PM on Fox.
Around Sports:
The Halos and the Rangers got into a little bit of a brawl last night after Angels’ first baseman, Adam Kennedy was hit by a pitch. Adam LaRoche was hit by a pitch last night and he didn’t go charge the mound. Although, I’d imagine a brawl involving the Braves would be pretty wussy unless Bobby Cox got involved. Then watch out! Oh yeah, the Rangers beat the Angels 9-3.
Celebrity Tid Bits:
Well, it’s a war of the myspace pages. Apparently the Travis Barker, Shanna Moakler divorce isn’t going so smoothly. They both have been making claims via their pages, including that neither is a good parent. Yeah, didn’t see that one coming when I was watching Meet the Barkers, but as I look back, Shanna always seemed to be in her bed, maybe that wasn’t a good sign.
T-Roy Gentry of Montgomery Gentry is out on bail after being arrested for killing a tamed bear and pretending it was killed in the wild. He faces a maximum of five years in prison and a $20,000 fine if he is found guilty. I guess someone should have just spent the 15 grand to go hunting with Chipper Jones at his ranch in Texas!
CMT will honor Reba McEntire with a two hour special featuring Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride, Kelly Clarkson, Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles and more in CMT Giants. Giants is scheduled to air November 18th.
It’s a big day for birthdays; Sean Penn, Donnie Wahlberg, and Belinda Carlisle all celebrate b-days today.
