Baseball Update:
Thursday marked the first snow out of the year, as the Braves and Rockies were unable to get their game in due to the powdery white stuff. The game has been rescheduled to June 16th. Snow in mid-April, now that's just mean!
Jose Reyes scored the controversial winning run in the 12th to give the Mets a 4-3 win over the Phillies. Jimmy Rollins did not start for the Phils, but was used a pinch hitter.
The Mets signed Claudio Vargas to a minor league contract on Thursday and the Phillies signed Steve Kline to a minor league deal as well.
The Yankees changed up their line-up and were able to avoid a sweep by the Kansas City Royals, winning 6-1.
In other sweeping news, the Nationals got swept by the Marlins with a 4-3 loss...And the Cubs brought out the brooms with a 7-3 win over the Pirates...Meanwhile the A's off the strength of a Travis buck game winning double in the 12th, swept the Jays with a 3-2 victory.
The A's also put pitcher Rich Harden on the 15 day DL and called up former Brave Joey Devine from the Minors.
The Tigers are still totally sucking. A day after picking up their first win of the season, they fell to the Red Sox 12-6.
The Red Sox put third baseman Mike Lowell on the DL with a sprained right thumb.
The Indians are going to let this whole C.C. Sabathia up in the air thing happen with their other ace Fausto Carmona, so they signed him to a four year deal that could be worth $48 million.
If you haven't checked your local listings for this week's nationally televised baseball games, I'll give you a hint on who will be shown on Saturday and Sunday. One team is the reigning World Series Champs and the other team has the most World Series Championships. If you guessed the Yankees and Red Sox, you're right! Now here's your prize, click here to read about the young guns dominating the two teams.
Speaking of Championships, it might be a good idea for the Yankees to win one this year, because some pissed of Boston fan may have slipped a hex into the brand spanking new Yankee Stadium last year.
In other Yankees news, Hal and Hank Steinbrenner have been named co-chairpersons of the New York Yankees.
Good news for the D-Backs, Doug Davis had successful cancer surgery!
Nascar Update:
Welcome to the desert my friends. The Cups boys take their racing under the lights for the first points paying night race of the season. Expect the beating and banging to sparkle not just on the track but into the post race comments as well. The one mile flat track oval is known for being a little tricky for drivers to navigate but some have had some success like Hendrick drivers Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson. Can they finally break through and land themselves in victory lane? Or will one of the Busch brothers steal their thunder? You'll have to tune in to find out. Catch the Subway Fit Fresh 500 on Fox at 8 PM/est on SATURDAY!
