Josh Hamilton smashed 28 homers in the first round but came up short when it mattered falling to Justin Morneau 5-3, giving the Twins first baseman the 2008 Homerun Derby crown. Even without the win, I'm sure Hamilton had a night to remember. (For my photos from the Derby click here)

The Nationals outfielder Wily Mo Pena will undergo shoulder surgery to repair a torn left rotator cuff.
Hold onto your hats, Braves pitcher Mike Hampton is scheduled to make his second rehab start. Who says he injures a quad during this outting? How about an oblique? Whatever it is, I don't see him taking the mound this season, although I would love him to prove me wrong!

Popo in my crib News:
The NBA's number 1 draft pick Derrick Rose has pleaded guilty to speeding and was fined $1,000, placed on 6 months probation and ordered to take an online driving course. Rose was ticketed on April 29th for going 100 mph on interstate 88 near Aurora, Ill. Goodness, this isn't the autobahn. Watch out Derrick, because the popo are on your tail!
Looks like the Packers have more to worry about than just this whole Brett Farve mess after lineman Johnny Jolly, Jr. was arrested last week and charged with felony drug possession. Mr. Jolly was found by the popo to be in possession of at least 200 grams of a controlled substance (please let it be crack, please let it be crack!) in Houston. He posted $10,000 bond and was released. Well at least you weren't cutting said drugs in your car when you were arrested, step up my friend. But watch out Johnny, because the popo are on your tail!
