There is a Santa Claus



Baseball: Vincente Padilla made his first start for the Dodgers, allowing two runs in five innings as LA edged Colorado 3-2...Dodgers reliever Ronald Belisario pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor drunken driving. Watch out Ronnie, because the popo are on your tail!...Three A's pitchers combined for a three hit shut out of the Angels, 2-0...The White Sox topped the Red Sox, 9-5 to avoid the sweep...Also avoiding sweeps were the Braves who smashed the Padres, 9-1...And the Astros who rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Cardinals...The Red Sox activated Billy Wagner...Mark Reynolds hit two homers in the Diamondbacks 11-0 shelling of the Giants...Ian Kinsler also had two dingers in the Rangers 7-2 romp over the Yankees...Are Derek Jeter and Minka Kelly engaged? And if so can I get an invite to the wedding. I promise I won't take too many pictures and I cerntainly won't sell them!...If you ever needed an additional reason to stop sliding head first into a base, use Nats outfielder Nyjer Morgan's recent injury as an example. Morgan will miss the remainder of the season after breaking his hand sliding into third...Sources say Trevor Hoffman, Rich Harden and Aaron Heilman have all been claimed on waivers...This list could be going all the way up to the supreme court.

Basketball: Part time popo officer Shaq got a ticket in LA for stopping in the middle of the street. Apparently in LA they frown upon that.


Football: Michael Vick made his Eagles debut in Philly's 33-32 win over Jacksonville...Cowboys WR Roy E. Williams is likely done for the rest of the preseason with a shoulder injury...Broncos WR Brandon Marshall is frustrated. I think the Broncos can say the same thing.

Hockey: It looks like Patrick Kanes nightmarish cabbiegate is over. Kane and his cousin plead guilty and have been ordered to write an apology to the cabbie...St. Louis Blues defenseman Eric Brewer has undergone sugery on his right knee and will be out for 2-to-4 weeks...Jacques Demers was appointed to the Canadian Senate.

Nascar: Michael Waltrip has a new crew chief...Congrats to Ray Evernham and Erin Crocker on their recent nuptials.

Best of the Rest: USC has named freshman Matt Barkley their starting QB...The US Open draw has been released...The popo investigating a shooting outside a skating rink (is nothing sacred these days?) found two handguns, ammunition and two bulletproof vests in the home of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and two cars. What no suitcases filled with cash? I am not impressed. Watch out Floyd, because the popo are on your tail.

Check this Out: With only a few weeks left until the premiere of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, here's another teaser to get you ready.
