Inside the Park homerun

Baseball Update:
Jayson Werth's inside the park homerun helped the Phillies defeat the Rockies 9-5.

Speaking of the Phillies, Jimmy Rollins finally decided to go on the DL after a discussion with reliever J.C. Romero.

Micah Owings is proving he's not just a good hitter, he can also get it done on the mound notching his fourth win of the season in the Diamondbacks 4-2 win over the Giants.

Patriots Day in Boston gave fans a lot to cheer about with the Red Sox smashing the Rangers 8-3 and this guy just being an idiot.

The Giants also received some bad news, when pitcher Noah Lowry reported feeling a tingling sensation in his injured forearm. Lowry will undergo an MRI that will most likely push his return to the mound back.

The Mets kept it close until a diasterous 8th inning allowed the Cubs to score five runs in Chicago's 7-1 win.

The Braves made it five in a row with a 7-3 rocking of the Nationals. Chipper Jones did play on Monday, only one day after reinjuring his quad.

In other injury news, Alex Rodriguez is questionable for Tuesday's game against the White Sox with his strained right quadriceps...And Ben Sheets will miss his next start for the Brewers with a sore elbow.

Another Brewers starter, Jeff Suppan is introducing Soup's Troops, a partnership that will allow four active military personal or families of fallen solidiers to attend a Brewers homegame this season. Their $200 consession stand bill will be picked up by Jeff and his wife Dana. $200 consession, goodness how much does bratwurst cost? Or better yet, can I get a doggie bag?

The Astros beat up on the Padres giving San Diego a 10-3 loss.

Armando Galarraga is proving to be the early ace for the Detroit Tigers getting his second win of the season the Tigers 5-1 defeat of the Blue Jays.

Meanwhile, Kyle Busch is planning to skip the Truck Race this weekend.

Popo in my crib News:
Seahawks defensive lineman Rocky Bernard was arrested on Monday after a former girlfriend told the popo that Bernard had hit her with a closed fist, "causing her head to hit a glass divider" while the pair were at a local club.

Just a day prior, Colts running back Kenton Keith was arrested after failing to leave Cloud 9's parking lot. Keith repeated told police "I'm a Colts player," to which they responded uh-huh, sir, and I'm Santa Claus. Turns out Keith was telling the truth but unfortunately he was still arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, resisting law enforcement, public intoxication and contributing to the delinquency of a minor because he brought a 19 year old to the club with him. Keith was taken to a local jail and released on his on recognizance. Watch out Kenton, because the popo are on your tail!

Pacman Jones' Las Vegas strip club incident will not go away, after authorities were alerted that Jones had paid two installments of $15,000 to Arvin Kenti Edwards in an extortion plot.

Jones went to Washington to identify the alleged shooter who was charged with three counts of attempted murder with a weapon and three counts of battery with substantial bodily harm. Watch out Arvin, because the popo are on your tail!
