Baseball: After Brad Lidge blew his 11th save of the year, I am guessing the Phillies are literally jumping up and down on a large panic button...So the Cardinals failed to clinch the NL Central after being shut out by the Astros, 3-0. But on the upside, if the Cubs lose on Thursday the Cardinals can pop some bubbly in their hotel suites...Albert Pujols was named the baseball player of the decade by the Sporting News...No matter what anyone says, the NL Wild Card is still up for grabs after the Rockies fell to the Padres, 6-3...And the Giants beat the D'backs, 5-2...And the Braves completed their sweep of the Mets, 5-2...The Rockies now hold a four game lead...Braves manager Bobby Cox will retire after the 2010 season...The Tigers hammered the Indians, 11-3...But the Twins kept pace with their 8-6 win over the White Sox. Looks like it's going to come down to their four game series next week. If someone likes me upstairs these games will all be broadcast on national TV...Apparently the White Sox are complete underachievers. Nice to hear such kind words from your GM...The Yankees finally won a series in Anaheim after edging the Angels, 3-2. Good thing that they got that over with in the regular season, wouldn't want to use that credit in the post season, because those games don't count (complete sacracism if you didn't pick that up)...The Yanks got a break when x-rays on Jorge Posada's foot came up negative...Prince Fielder hit his 42nd homer and tallied his major league leading 131st RBI as the Brewers nipped the Cubs, 3-2. Well that gives people in Milwaukee something positive to talk about...Another positive note, Milton Bradley is sorry for being such an ass...Veteran umpire Marty Foster was hit by three foul balls during San Francisco's 5-2 victory over Arizona. Foster was taken for x-rays following the game. That's dedication and another reason why I couldn't be an umpire. I bruise very easily.(Photo: AP)
Basketball: The Timberwolves have cut Mark Blount...While the Bobcats have signed Raymond Felton to a one year, $5.5 million contract.
College Football: According to Pete Caroll, Matt Barkley is ready to start on Saturday...The Big Ten has suspended Purdue offensive guard Zach Reckman one game for his late hit during the Northern Illinois game...Georgia will continue to play Florida in Jacksonville through 2016...Michigan will ban purses and all other bags from the Stadium for security reason. I hope he's not planning on attending this game.
Football: Jerry Jones is still a Tony Romo fan. Good to see there is at least one person willing to admit that...Dallas offensive tackle Flozell Adams was fined $12,500 for his actions during Sunday's loss to Big Blue. Adams tripped Giants defensive end Justin Tuck causing him to injure his shoulder. Only desperate people play dirty...That move only makes Tuck hate the Cowboys more. Spoken like a true Giant. I love it!...The NFL's blackout rules aren't going anywhere...So it looks like prisoners just aren't all that impressed with a former NFL WR.
Hockey: Veteran goaltender Olaf Kolzig is retiring after 14 seasons i
n the NHL...Peter Forsberg is attempting a comeback in Sweden...The Sharks signed Manny Malhotra...This year's number one pick John Tavares had an assist in his first home game with the Islanders. Unfortunately that was about the only good thing that happend in the Isles 4-2 loss to the Devils...Kings defenseman Sean O'Donnell was suspended five games for a match penalty during LA's game against the Islanders...Coyotes forward Francis Lessard was suspended for three games for his hit on Anaheim's Ryan Donally...The Coyotes will stay in Arizona for the 2009-10 season if Jim Basille's has his way. Oh, yeah, now I am sure people will just start running to the box office to buy tickets...Let's just say with a medical staff like this, I don't think I'll be playing in the KHL anytime soon.(Photo: AP)
Nascar: Nascar will allow additional testing at some tracks in 2010.
Best of the Rest: Is the PGA in danger of losing some events?...Army has fired Men's Basketball Coach Jim Crews after seven seasons with the academy.
