Baseball Update:
Barry Zito will become the most expensive ace in the pen for the Giants after the team decided to move him out of harms way. Well, he can still give up the decisive homerun in the eighth, but that would probably be the only way he'd be pitching in the eighth...whatever that's a hell of a lot of money to spend on a reliever.
Meanwhile, the Giants picked up a 4-0 win and gave manager Bruce Bochy 1,034 career victories surpassing Felipe Alou for most victories by a foreign born manager.
There a lot of key injuries floating around baseball including John Smoltz's shoulder, the Rangers Hank Blalock, the Indians Grady Sizemore's ankle and Alex Rodriguez's quad.
Speaking of the Yanks and Indians, the two teams faced off on Monday night with the Bombers walking passed the Tribe 5-2.
Dan Haren was able to hold the Astros in check to give the Diamondbacks a 5-3 win.
The D-Backs also called up rookie pitcher Max Scherzer while optioning Yumseiro Petit to Triple A Tuscon.
Bronson Arroyo picked up his first win of the season in the Reds 4-3 victory over the Cardinals.
The Orioles and White Sox are locked in extras after a rain shower postponed the marathon to another day. The two teams are tied at three.
Speaking of rain outs, the Mets and Pirates game got washed away. The teams will make up the game in August.
With the day off due to the rain, Carlos Delgado got to re-hash his actions on Sunday. Delgado chose not to take a curtain call after his second homerun angering fans. Since when do two homeruns constitute a curtain call. It's April, get pissed off if he refuses not to take a curtain call after hitting a walk-off homerun in the playoffs. Not this. Oh and weren't you the same people booing him when he came to the plate during that same at bat? Yeah, sit down!
On June 1, Mike Liberthal will officially retire as a Phillie, the place where he called 13 of his 14 major league season home.
Roger Clemens is in more hot water after a report linked the former pitcher to country train wreck Mindy McCready. According to the article, the two met at a karaoke bar when McCready was just 15 and Clemens was 28 that led to a decades long affair. So fair, Clemens has denied it while McCready has backed up the claim. Although, with those DUI charges, it's hard to believe her story, then again Clemens isn't exactly a truth sayer so we'll side with the New York Daily News, they would never tell us a lie would they? Crap, now we're totally confused.
Nascar Update:
The Cup race entry list for this weekend's race at Richmond has been released. Click here to see who is on it.
DEI picked up Martin Truex, Jr.'s option for the 2009 season. So Truex won't leave until 2010, he's still leaving. DEI has inferior equipment, his talents would be suited somewhere else.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Danica Patrick will team up for an interview on Thursday. One catch you have to subscribe to XM to hear it. Or find a friend who has XM and ask them to give you a ride to pretty much nowhere so you can hear the whole interview. Whatever, figure our a reason why they owe you!
Popo in my crib News:
Former NBA star Isaiah Rider has a bench warrent out for his arrest after he failed to show up for his scheduled arraigment. So I'm pretty sure that fits under my mantra of not screwing with the government, but if not, then it goes under mantra 1b, don't ccrew with the judicial system. Rider had been charged with driving with a suspended license after an incident that month. Watch out Isaiah, because the popo are on your tail!
Brazilian soccer star Ronaldo was questioned by police after an alleged run-in with transvestites in Rio de Janeiro. Oh so much wrong yet so much right with that sentence! According to the report, Ronaldo had decided to pick up some prostitutes, but not realizing they were transvestites, he invited them to a hotel room. He even allegedly asked for the call girls/boys to get him some drugs, but once he discovered they hadn't been exactly what he had expected he offered to pay them $30,000, asking them not to go to the media with this little story. I guess $30,000 isn't enough in hush money for some angry transvestite prostitutes. Lesson learned. Watch out Ronaldo, because the popo are on your tail!
