Pedro Martinez needs rotator cuff surgery and will be out until the All Star Break 2007. Scott Boras and Barry Zito are trying to stiffle laughter

Batting practice for Pedro tonight

Twins clinch a playoff birth

I haven't watched SD in a while. When did Regal lose the gut?

According to Meltzer, the Bischoff appearance was a one night deal. Didn't seem that way

Very little backstage stuff tonight. Did someone kidnap Gewirtz?

All Hail Vinny Ru!!!

"This Angels team is full of grit and determination. They don't wait around for the "3 run homer" or look to walk, they make things happen, they use their speed and intangibles to manufacture runs. By the way, the A's inability to manufacture runs will once again cost them in the playoffs. Billy Beane is going to have to reprogram his computer that wrote Moneyball"

Jets win. Bills had an easy third down Conversion but Parish tripped over himself three yards short

Coming off this game, there will be analysts who will inevitably claim that Bret Favre is back and that anyone who doubted him doesn't know football or the size of his heart or whatever shit. This has been going on for 7 fucking years now. Part of me wants him to retire just so the the talking heads will stop see sawing with "Favre is done" and "OMG Bret is back!!"

If the Astros and White Sox don't make the playoffs this year (which is all but a certainty), it will be the first time since 1991 that BOTH teams that made the World Series miss the playoffs the following season (A's, Reds) I'm not counting the strike year.

ah, I see the "Charlie Weiss has to change his offensive gameplan" talk has already started

Maddon is a sabermetrician? I always assumed he was a Mike Sciosia "Small ball, speed, intangibles, gritty" type clone.

Finally the Mets score some runs and did Fox have to add the "PepsiClutch" hit of the week or whatever shit.

Not necessarily my favorite, but the Norm/Tim Meadows/Jay Mohr/Sandler/ Farley get eaten by Polar Bear sketch in the season finale of the 94-95 season (David Duchovny). It's so absurd I love every second of it.

Mariano Rivera is smiling. Total bush league stuff. Act like you've been there before buddy, who do you think you are?

OMG the Yankees are making "Whoot and Whistle" sounds!!! Again they're taking it too far. It's only the division for Christ sakes. They just should have a nice post game meal

OMG Melky Cabrera is jumping up and down in the clubhouse. HE'S GONE TOO FAR!!! What does he think he just won the World Series or something.

It was not only Anderson Hernandez's first ML Homerun but his first Major League RBI. It only took him nearly 80 ABs. And the Mets actually come back and win a game where Tom Glavine pitches

Damn, I just noticed that Joe Girardi looks borderline anorexic.. What the hell happened to that short pudgy catcher that came up with the Cubs in the late 80s? Damn that Jeffrey Loria

Meltzer:

Damn I didn't know Czech was that young. His posts make him sound way beyond his years

I think Vince McMahon has finally trained casual wrestling fans into thinking that all workers should look like bodybuilders. I still frequent a few mark boards and last night they were going on about Trevor Murcdoch and how fat and ugly he is and that he shouldn't be on TV let alone in main events. Here's a few gems: murdock just makes me what to puke, i cant stand looking at him, waste of space Murdoch needs to put clothes on. He should not be wrestling in trunks and no shirt. He is vile to look at.

no reaction for Cade and Murdoch

Lita is a native of Montreal?
