Baseball Update:
Bobby Abreu rocketed two homeruns and racked up six RBIs as the Yankees pounded the White Sox, 9-2. (Check back later for my report on my final game at Yankee Stadium, which happened to be last night's victory.)
Hey all manish looking strippers, A-Rod is a free man, so you no longer have to worry about sneaking around with the third baseman...Modanna.
Evan Longoria had three runs and still the Rays were unable to upend the Twins who rallied the the ninth inning, scoring five runs and collecting the 11-8 victory. The win moves Minnesota a game and a half behind the ChiSox.
The Rays announced Carl Crawford will be out for the remainder of the regalur season but do hope to have him back in the post season.
The Braves made it hard on the Phillies to collect the Series sweep (actually a season sweep at Turner Field) but Pat Burrell decided it was a good time to prove he is worth a nice fat paycheck this off season blasting the game winning homer in the sixth for the Phightins' to give them a 4-3 victory. And with the Mets keeping pace with their 7-2 win over the Nats, the Phils remain just a half game in front of New York.
Do the Brewers really feel like breaking that 26 year no-post season streak? Do they? Because after yesterday's loss the Cubs, I'm not sure. The Brewers went into the ninth inning with a 6-2 lead, only to blow it with Geovany Soto's three run blast, which tied the game at 6. Derek Lee singled in the winning run in the 12th inning to put Milwaukee a game and a half behind the Mets for the Wild Card.
Tim Lincecum suffered just his 4th loss of the season, giving up a two-out RBI single to Adam Dunn which scored the game winning run in the Diamondbacks 3-2 victory.
Earlier in the day, the Dodgers edged the Pirates, 4-3 in 12 innings thanks to a James Loney single that scored the game winning run.
Tigers manager Jim Leyland has been suspended three games for two separate tirades. I think Leyland was kind of hoping for a 10 game suspension so he could finish this disappointing season early.
The Civil Rights game, which has been played in Memphis the past two years, will be moving to Cinncinati beginning next season.
Kansas City could be hosting an All-Star game in either 2011, 2012 or 2013.
John Smoltz and Curtis Granderson are among the line-up of analysts and announcers for TBS' post season broadcasts.
Nascar Update:
Round 2 of the Chase brings us to the Monster Mile where anything can happen and often times it does. The track is now for its high banks, fast speeds and monster wrecks. Can the Chase guys come out unscathed or will there be another surprise driver finishing 42nd this week? You'll have to tune into ABC at 1 PM/est to catch the Camping World RV 400.
Kyle Busch and Greg Biffle were among a handful of drivers that visited Walter Reed Hospital this week. Biffle called the experience "overwhelming."
