Humidity is gross

Braves Update:
The Braves finally broke out of their slump and it didn't even take extra innings! The Braves had 19 hits in their 14-0 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday afternoon with starter Tim Hudson throwing seven scoreless innings. The Braves have the day off before returning to Turner Field for their series against the Houston Astros.

Games behind NY Mets in NL East: 4.5
Games above .500: 4
NL Wild Card Leader: Arizona Diamondbacks/Los Angeles Dodgers

Braves Notes: The Braves are still working with the Texas Rangers on a deal that would send Jarrod Saltamacchia, Elvis Andrus and a pitcher to Texas for Mark Teixeira...The Braves designated Wil Ledezma for assignment on Sunday about a month after they traded Macay McBride to the Tigers for him. With Ledezma out of options, the Braves have ten days to either trade him or release him...The Braves called up Jose Ascanio to replace Ledzema.

NASCAR Update:
You can call Tony Stewart a two time Nextel Cup Champ and a two time Brickyard 400 winner after Sunday's win. Stewart dueled with Kevin Harvick in the closing laps, allowing his to cross the bricks first. Last year's winner, Jimmie Johnson did not fair as well, spinning early and then ending his day with a slap shot against the wall.

In why you shouldn't date your boss news...Erin Crocker is asking for a release from Evernham Motorsports after her "personal relationship" with owner Ray Evernham has seemingly put her career on hold. Although other reports have it as Evernham looking to move Crocker elsewhere, the moral of the story is the same, don't get involved with your boss!

News & Notes: Chicago Cubs pitcher, Carlos Zambrano, became the first to 14 wins after the Cubs blanked the Cincinnati Reds 6-0...Michael Straham was a no-show at Giants training camp on Saturday. His agent said the lineman was considering retirement. Shouldn't you have thought about that in say January?...Since he's got the season off, Adam "Pacman" Jones is considering an offer to wrestle professionally for Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling (TNA)...Finally, congratulations to the San Jose SaberCats on their third ArenaBowl title after beating the Columbus destroyers 55-33.
