John Smoltz became the 16th player to ever record 3,000 strike outs, unfortunately, his team was not able to back him up as the Braves fell to the Nationals 6-0. Click here to watch Smoltz's reaction to reaching 3,000.

Speaking of the Nationals, their closer Chad Cordero has an appointment with Dr. James Andrews. Yeah, that's never a good sign.
While ARod was celebrating the birth of his second daughter, the Yankees were cruising passed the White Sox, 9-5. Bobby Abreu registered a grand slam and Jorge Posada was finally back behind the plate.
Josh Beckett missed his scheduled start with a stiff neck, but that didn't bother the Red Sox who squeaked passed the Angels, 7-6.
C.C. Sabathia was back to his old ways in the Indians 15-1 killing of the Royals. The Indians will be without pitcher Jake Westbrook for at least the next 15 days after placing him on the DL with a strained muscle in his lower left ribcage.
The Tigers flipped Miguel Cabrera and Carlos Guillen in the infield on Tuesday night. And something clicked because Detroit won, routing the Rangers, 10-2.
It was a very weird day for Gabe Gross who scored the winning run for the Brewers in the 12th inning defeating the Cardinals 9-8 and was then traded to Tampa Bay.
The Pirates stopped their losing streak at six after narrowly defeating the Marlins 3-2.
The Rockies apparently sold their souls last year to the Devil and it seems like Lucifer is looking to collect after their bullpen blew another game in the closing games to give the Phillies 8-6 win.
The Rox also placed reliever Micah Bowie on the 15 day DL with a strained left forearm.
Barry Bonds must be so pissed with the Oakland A's reportedly interested in the services of the recently fired Frank Thomas.
Yeah he was a great pitcher, but turning the Texas Rangers around could prove to be Nolan Ryan's most difficult task to date.
Nascar Update:
Five drivers will show their burnout talents prior to the start of May's All-Star race at Lowe's Motor Speedway. Currently Clint Bowyer is the only driver to throw his hat into the ring.
Speaking of the All-Star race, Nascar historian Dale Earnhardt, Jr. would like to have an old timers event, kind of like what they have (had after this year) at Cooperstown.
Yahoo! Sports ranks the top 10 disappointments in Nascar over the last 10 years. Although if we had a vote, we'd also include some of those open wheel imports, anyone remember Christian Fittipaldi's foray in Nascar?
Just reading this article about Colin Braun made me feel old.
If the whole Office Depot thing doesn't work out for Carl Edwards, UPS would be happy to take their place.
Popo in my crib News:
Yesterday we brought you tons of popo news from the NFL, so it's only far that today we bring you news from the college ranks like Florida State's Preston Parker who was arrested late Monday and charged with carrying a concealed weapon and a small amount of marijuana. The .45 caliber pistol was placed next to the bag of weed in his car making the search process that much easier for the popo. Also making it easier was the fact that Parker copped to purchasing the gun for his friend's birthday. There are so many things wrong with that sentence, I mean who buys a gun as a birthday present. Here, be safe, try not to kill anyone at the club, it's too cliche. Watch out Preston, because the popo are on your tail!
Don't worry Preston, you weren't the only college student getting into legal troubles this week. Boston College's Brady Smith pleaded not guilty to charges of rape and breaking and entering with an intent to commit a felony. Details have not been released since Smith's arrest over the weekend, but we can't imagine they paint a nice picture of the Finksburg, MD native. Watch out Brady, because the popo are on your tail!

Maybe you suffered from poor service at Starbucks like I did this morning which made you extra cranky kind of like me right now!..Finally, if you're planning on climbing Mt. Everest with your free Tibet flag, you may want to put the kibosh on that idea.
