Sorry for the late finish but I had an early morning meeting.
Baseball Update:
The A's socked Minnesota starter Francisco Liriano in the their 11-2 win. The game marked the return of Frank Thomas to Oakland.
The Red Sox rally in the ninth came up short as the Angels beat Boston 10-9 to take the three game series.
Alex Rodriguez rejoined the Yankees, but it wasn't enough as reliever Joba Chamberlain suffered his first career loss in the Bombers 7-6.
Chipper Jones celebrates his 36th birthday with a 3-3 for three performance that included a homerun and a 7-3 Braves win over the Marlins.
A bet the Giants wished they could have Tim Lincecum start every game for them after he picked up his fourth win of the season in San Frans 1-0 victory over the Padres. The Giants are now 5-0 in games Lincecum pitches.
The Rockies rallied passed the Cubs 4-2. They also announced that Brian Fuentes will replace Manny Corpas as their closer.
The Dodgers have announced a stadium improvement plan. I've never been but as long as they don't touch the Dodger dogs, I think I'll be ok with it.
The burried Red Sox jersey has sold for $175,100 at auction. The proceeds will benefit Boston area charity the Jimmy Fund.
Nascar Update:
The Cups boys are back on the circuit this weekend heading over to one of the most dangerous tracks, Talladega. At any moment your car could be swept up into the "big one" or even the "mid one" where 10-20 cars go from $4 million machines to $4 millions worth of scrap metal. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. is riding a 70 race win streak, can the track where he at one point won 5 in row become his lucky charm once again or could a surprise contender find himself in victory lane? You'll have to tune in to find out. Watch the Aaron's 499 on Fox beginning at 1 PM/est.
Tony Stewart is still at JGR but he's open to new opportunities.
Meanwhile Gibbs is hoping to put the rumor mill aside and focus on continuing to dominate the Cup Series.
Martin Truex, Jr. took part in Oprah's Big Give. Click here for the details.

Check this out: There are two funny movies headed to a theater near you this weekend. Both Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay and Baby Mama open wide so go out and buy some tickets for you and the little lady. Make her hide a bag of chips and two cans of soda in her purse and be prepared to laugh out loud. Oh maybe you should have her stick a depends in her bag too, you never know.
It's been fun blogging with you,
Kate
