Braves Update:
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder and since the Braves haven't won a game since Sunday, maybe they were missing that winning feeling. After posting ten runs they made sure they weren't going to leave the ballpark empty handed. Tim Hudson picked up his tenth win of the season and Matt Diaz was one triple away from the cylce in the Braves 10-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Even more impressive, the Braves had 11 of their 12 hits with two outs in the inning. Chuck James will take on Adam Wainwright tonight in the second game of the Bravos four game series. Coverage begins at 7:35 PM/est on FSN.

Popo in my Crib News:
The New York Post is reporting that the FBI is looking into whether a NBA referee was betting on games, including ones he officiated over the course of the past two seasons. Watch out ref, because the popo are on your tail!
News & Notes: Barry Bonds is just three homeruns away from breaking Hank Aaron's homerun record after blasting two at Wrigley Field on Thursday in the Giants 9-8 loss to the Cubs. Bonds and his San Francisco teammates will be in Milwaukee this weekend for their series against the Brewers, which happens to be where commissioner Bud Selig is based. Even with the close proximity, Selig is not expected to attend any of the games, because you know, he does have a day job...Bad news for the St. Louis Cardinals, ace Chris Carpenter who has not played since April because of an elbow injury will undergo season ending tommy john surgery...Cleveland Indians starter C.C. Sabathia picked up his 13th win of the season, which leads the majors, in the Tribes 7-5 win over the Texas Rangers...A mild earthquake rattled San Francisco early Friday morning. The quake registered a 4.2 on the Rickter Scale...Finally, in the wake of a TAM airplane that crashed into a building in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Wednesday, prosecutors are asking a judge to temporarily close Congonhas airport. There were no survivors on board the plane and at least three people were killed on the ground making it the deadliest crash in Brazil's history.
It's been fun blogging with you,
