Cause this is Lady's Night



Baseball: After Tuesday's game, I don't know if the Yankees are falling apart at the seams or in need of some comic relief. From the looks of the attempted elbow Jorge Posada threw, I am going with comic relief...Oh the Jays would be playing the part of the victors in last night's episode...The Giants pounded the Rockies, 10-2 to move within 2 1/2 games of Colorado in the Wild Card race. Barry Zito struck out nine in seven innings of work. Barry, I wish you would stop toying with my emotions...Randy Johnson was back in the pen...While the two closest competitors in the NL West were battling each other, Andre Either was hitting a walk off two run homer in the 13th that allowed the Dodgers to knock off the Pirates, 5-4...The Braves pounded the Mets, 6-0. That's six in row if you're counting at home...Mike Hampton will be out for the entire 2010 season after undergoing shoulder surgery. Right on schedule, Mikey. Wouldn't want to play too many games...Michael Young's return to the Rangers lineup lasted one whole at bat. And it didn't get any better for Texas who fell to the A's, 6-1...Dice-K pitched six scoreless innings in his return from the DL and David Ortiz hit his record-breaking 270th homer as a DH in the Red Sox 4-1 win over the Angels...Magglio Ordonez will be $18 million richer thanks to his 1,080th plate appaerance of the year. The appearance came in the Tigers 11-1 loss to the Royals...Jake Peavy is scheduled to make his first start with the White Sox on Saturday.

Basketball: The summer only gets worse for Richard Jefferson as the Spurs forward dislocated his thumb during a workout. Some call that karma Richard. Well at least your former fiancee does...Golden State's Stephen Jackson has been fined $25,000 for saying he wanted to be traded. So honesty is a fineable offense?...Sad news, Indiana Pacers co-owner Mel Simon has died. He was 82.

College Football: Ohio State coach Jim Tressel will continue to call the plays...Speaking of the Buckeyes, their game against USC was the most watched college football game ever on ESPN...USC QB Matt Barkley is doubtful for the Trojans game against Washington...UCLA has suspended Courtney Viney, Milton Knox, Morrell Presley and Randal Carroll for Saturday's game against Kansas State...When did football turn into boxing?

Football: Michael Vick has been added to the Eagles roster. He is still unable to play in Sunday's game, but will be able to practice with the team...To make room for Vick, the Eagles cut WR Hank Baskett. Well at least he's still got that Kendra money coming in...Matt Cassel may or may not miss his second straight start with that knee injury. I think Shawn from Psych makes better predictions than Todd Haley...The NFL is investigating current Browns/former Jets head coach Eric Mangini's role in the Brett Favre injury cover-up. That is why all Favre press conferences should be scripted because he obviously is not good at ad-libbing...In taking things too far news, Bills cornerback Leodis McKelvin's lawn was vandalized after Monday's heartbreaking loss to the Patriots. I hate to see what they did to Scott Norwood's home.


Hockey: Jonas Gustavsson's quest to be the Maple Leafs goalie hit a snag. The Swed will miss a few days after underoing a heart procedure...Bruins center David Krejci will likely miss Boston's opener...Brandon Dubinsky and his agent are stupid...And so are the Rangers because Marion Gaborik is injured already. Like I didn't see that one coming...After the Rangers turned down the opportunity to overpay for Nikolai Zherdev (which may be a first for the Blueshirts) it looks like Nik's heading to Atlant of the KHL...The Blue Jackets signed center Antoine Vermette to a five year, $18.75 million contract...The Blues extended coach Andy Murray through 2010-11...It may have only been a preseason game, but the empty arena in Phoenix isn't really a good sign of things to come, Gary...Sad news, long time radio and TV voice of the Bruins Fred Cusick has died. He was 90.

Nascar: With Brad Keselowski heading to Penske, JR Motorsports has announced Kelly Bires has signed on to drive in the Nationwide Series...Minor changes highlight the 2010 Nascar Sprint Cup Series schedule.

Best of the Rest: Congrats to Amanda Beard on the birth of her first child Blaise Ray Brown.
