Hey guys sorry for the overall lack of posts this week, allergy season is in full gear and my eyes are not happy. Anyway, here's the news from the past two days:
Baseball Update:
The Braves continue to roll notching a 5-4 win over the Padres to sweep the series. Of course pitchers Jo-Jo Reyes and Buddy Carlyle exited the game early, they were still able to win their first one run game of the season! If only they could play all of their games at home.
Unfortunately for Atlanta, reliever Peter Moylan will be out for the rest of the season after undergoing elbow surgery.
It's May and I think we may need to start taking the Marlins seriously following their 7-2 win, completing their three game sweep of the Brewers.
The Yankees avoided a sweep by the Indians due in part to homeruns by Johnny Damon, Robinson Cano, Wilson Betemit and Jason Giambi in the Bombers 6-3 win.
The Indians traded outfielder Jason Michaels to the Pirates for a player to be named later.
Josh Beckett got the better of the Tigers in the Red Sox 5-1 win.
Dioner Navarro hit a game winning grand slam in the 13th inning to propell the Tampa Bay Rays passed the Toronto Blue Jays, 8-3.
The Jays also received some bad news, placing both SS David Eckstein and John McDonald on the DL.
The Nationals placed both catchers Paul Lo Duca and Johnny Estrada on the DL.
The Phillies will have reigning MVP Jimmy Rollins back this Friday after missing almost a month with ankle injuries.
Brandon Webb became the first 8 game winner of the season in the D-Backs 8-3 victory over the Phillies.
In other good Dbacks news, pitcher Doug Davis is cancer free!
Richie Sexson took the crazy pills before playing on Thursday, charging the mound after getting a pitch he didn't like in the Mariners 5-0 loss to the Rangers. Click here for video. (Warning: No punches were thrown. LAME!)
NASCAR Update:
The Lady in Black calls the Sprint Cup drivers once again this weekend, but she's sporting some new clothes after the track was resurfaced during the off season yielding faster speeds by still forcing drivers to concentrate more on her than their fellow drivers. Darlington, the first super speedway in Nascar, beckons to a time gone by and helps link Nascar's future with its past. So who will walk away with the checkers at the Dodger Challenger 500 on Saturday night? You'll have to flip to FOX at 7 PM/est to find out.
Speeds were up during practice on Thursday.
Pink maybe the new blog, but Kyle Busch is not the new Dale Sr. according to Junior.
You thought it costs a lot to fuel up your SUV? How about fueling up a car that gets like 4 miles to gallon. Yeah, Nascar is definately feeling your pain!
Could Tony Stewart's future plans possibly include Indy? Goodness I hope so!
