Yo estuve en Mannywood


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.

Basketball: Are you there New Orleans? It's me, playoff basketball...The Lakers wrapped their first round series delivering a 107-96 knock out blow to the Jazz...The Hawks tied their series with the Heat at two thanks to a 81-71 victory...The Bulls Ben Gordon is listed as day-to-day after an MRI confirmed he has a strained left hamstring...Lakers guard Derek Fisher has filled a restraining order against Symone Fisher, whom he claims is stalking him...Former crazy NBA star, now just plain crazy Dennis Rodman has been ordered to pay casino employee Sara Ure $225,000.

Football: Sad news, Former Chiefs coach Frank Gansz passed away. 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. Shocked like you didn't see this coming after the Jay Culter debacle or shocked like you thought this was going to be your chance to get the heck out of DC?...Meanwhile the Skins have signed Missouri QB Chase Daniel. I wonder if third string QB Colt Brennan is shocked by this decision.


Hockey: The Ducks completed their surprising series victory over the Sharks with a 4-1 win. See the regular season really doesn't mean anything...Meanwhile the Blackhawks polished off the Flames, 4-1 to advance for the first time since 1996...Congrats to the Wild's Niklas Backstrom, Blue Jacket's Steve Mason and the Bruin's Tim Thomas on being named finalists for the Vezina Trophy (top goaltender)...Both the Rangers and Capitals and Devils and Hurricanes will go at it in a winner takes all game seven tonight. Hopefully the Rangers will come to play to night if only to avenge Bettsie.

Nascar: More fallout from this weekend's races at Talladega. A woman who was injuried during a wreck at the Superspeedway remains at UAB hospital and is listed in fair condition...Despite the high speeds and flying debris, Nascar will not make any changes to the surface of the track...And finally Bobby Allison does not agree with Carl Edwards. Is it wrong to say I believe everything Bobby Allison says?

Best of the Rest: A shin problem has forced Square Eddie out of the Kentucky Derby...Lance Armstrong cannot catch a break. The seven time Tour de France winner has been bumped from the Tour of Gila event in New Mexico this weekend on a technicality...Michigan QB Steven Threet has decided to transfer to ASU...Sad news, former heavyweight boxing champ Greg Page has died. He was just 50 years old.
