Baseball: The Red Sox maybe hotter than the surface of the sun right now after racking up their 11th straight win with a 3-1 victory over the Indians...The Yankees meanwhile, dropped their fourth straight, 4-2 to the Tigers...But that doesn't compare with the Marlins who have hit a seven game slide thanks to a 7-1 loss to the Mets. Thank you John Maine for finally having a good game after I've dropped you from my fantasy team...Newly drafted Jets QB Mark Sanchez threw out the first pitch for the Mets game...The Nationals and Phillies certainly did not lack for offense, but in the end, the Nats could not overcome the Phils two grand slams in a 13-11 loss...Dexter Fowler stole five bags in the Rockies 12-7 bashing of the Padres. I believe in just one game, Dexter has more steals than the Braves team has had in 18 games...Speaking of the Braves, they fell to the Cardinals, 3-2...But on the up side, Tom Glavine is getting healthier...Trevor Hoffman made his first appearance for the Brewers. He pitched a scoreless inning in Milwaukee's 10-5 rout of the Pirates...With Barry Bonds looking on, the Giants upended the Dodgers, 5-4...The Dodgers will put in a special Mannywood section Dodger Stadium. For $99 fans will get two tickets and Mannywood t-shirts. Sporting dreds is optional.

He was 70...The Dolphins released QB John Beck just two years after he was taken in the second round of the draft...The Bengals dropped RB Chris Perry...Redskins QB Jason Campbell was shocked by Washington's play for Mark Sanchez.

I wonder if third string QB Colt Brennan is shocked by this decision.

Hopefully the Rangers will come to play to night if only to avenge Bettsie.
