One Away

Braves Update:
The Braves' bats were quieted yesterday in their 2-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants. The Braves got off to an early 1-0 lead in the first off of an Andruw Jones single, but a lead-off homerun in the sixth by the Giant's Rich Aurilla seeled their fate. The Braves look to win their series finale with the Giants as Buddy Carlyle takes on the youngster, Tim Lincecum. The game starts at 7:05 Pm/est on TBS.

NASCAR Update:
Rumors are flying that Paul Newman along with partners Carl Haas and Micahel Lanigan have offered to buy Robert Yates Racing. Newman and Hass co-own the successful Newman/Haas racing team that has won three Champ Car championships and is looking at picking up its fourth.

Greg Biffle has an idea, put accused dogfight ring leader, Michael Vick in jail. Seriously, those legal battles can get so lengthy. We should totally handle murder cases with the old guilty until proven innocent motto, too.

Popo in my Crib News:
In the wake of the Michael Vick, Barry Bonds and Tim Donaghy stories, the NHL is trying to crack the headlines using two brothers, Eric Staal of the Carolina Hurricanes and Jordan Staal of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Staal brothers were arrested at Eric's bachelor party in Minnesota for misdemeanor disorderly conduct and obstructing the legal process. Jordan Staal was also arrested for underage drinking. Oops. It's no love cruise, but they'll take it! Watch out Jordan and Eric, because the popo are on your tail!
