It's Friday the 13th, are you scared?

Baseball Update:
Make it three straight blown saves for Mets closer Billy Wagner as they fell to the Diamondbacks 5-4 (11). Wagner gave up two runs in the ninth erasing a solid start by Johan Santana. The loss did not help Manager Willie Randolph's cause who sources revealed is on thin ice.

Speaking of blown saves, the Braves let their 2-1 lead evaporate in the ninth thanks to a Jim Edmonds solo shot to tie the game. Braves reliever Jeff Ridgway hit Reed Johnson in the 11th inning to force in the winning run in the Cubs 3-2 win. Braves starter Tim Hudson was treated for dehydration following his one run, 6 2/3 inning performance.

Miguel Cabrera hit a walk-off homerun to give the Tigers a 2-1 win and a sweep of the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox are expected to release veteran catcher Esteban Loaiza prior to Friday's game against the Rockies.

Jamie Moyer took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, but it was broken up by pitcher Scott Olsen. Fortunately for the Phillies, Moyer only allowed one other hit in their 3-0 blanking of the Marlins. Moyer is now 9-0 against the Fish.

Jake Peavy allowed zero runs in six innings in his first start since coming off the DL while the Padres offense provided 9 runs sealing the 9-0 victory over the Dodgers.

Mike Lowell hit his second grand slam of the season, while J.D. Drew added a long ball of his own in the Red Sox 9-2 drubbing of the Orioles.

The Twins could not take advantage of an injury plagued Indians squad falling to the Tribe, 12-2. Earlier in the day, the Indians announced all-star catcher Victor Martinez will be out at least six weeks after undergoing elbow surgery. They also put Josh Barfield on the DL with a finger sprain. Barfield was just called up on Monday.

The Twins have taken Juan Rincon off their roster and have offered him a AAA assignment in Rochester. The struggling pitcher has three days to accept or decline the offer.

Hidecki Matsui celebrated his 34th birthday with a grand slam in the Yankees 4-1 win over the A's. The win moved Andy Pettitte into a tie for fourth place on the Yankees career wins list.

The Yankees got some more news when pitcher Phil Hughes underwent an extra on his broken rib. The youngster was cleared to start throwing and manager Joe Girardi said he should be ready to go in about 6 weeks. They also announced some not so great news, reliever Jonathan Albaladejo has a stress fracture in his elbow and will miss the rest of the season.

Congratulations to Ray Durham who picked up his 2,000th career hit in the Giants 10-7 win over the Rockies.

The demolition of old Tiger Stadium could commence in the next few weeks. Is it me, or shouldn't have this been done a while ago?

Nascar Update:
Ah, Michigan. With it's wide sweeping turns and mutlilane grooves, Michigan is the perfect setting for side-by-side racing. The track is also known for its fast speeds, a tempo that suits many of the Roush drivers who have tons of success at the speedway. But so does last week's race winner Kasey Kahne who is riding a very nice string of races. Can he make it to victory lane or will Tony Stewart finally break through? It is June after all.

Kyle Busch is a man on a mission, racing in all three series races this weekend. Although it should be a little easier considering two (Cup and Truck Series) races will be held at the same track while the Nationwide Series race will be only a couple state away in Kentucky.

Speaking of Kentucky, the track is looking to be near capacity for this weekend's Nationwide Series race.
