Red Sox win streak is gonna end tonight, book it. And the game in Florida (hell, all 3) are close to sold out! Looking forward to the first Dontrelle vs. Mike Lowell at bat tonight. Wish Beckett was pitching in this series, but oh well. Oh, and Bill Plaschke is the worst and was dead wrong. Watch what Paul DePo can do on the Padres.

This YES talk reminds me that Al Leiter is fantastic.

Tommy Hutton Dickie V (I don't find him that annoying, maybe because I'm an ACC homer myself) Peter Gammons and soon to be... Tony Kornheiser. He will be the greatest announcer ever.

Link I realize that I'm way behind here and this is months old but I just found this website for the first time a few hours ago. This Berman link is the original story and there are tons more than follow - just click the Berman hot link at the top. It's fascinating. The first ESPN personality to use "You're with me, leather" on his show... Tony Kornheiser, of course.

EXACTLY! There is NO playoff run. People are tricking themselves. It could end up being costly.

All the talk in Florida and the Florida papers, etc. is gravitating toward adding some veteran pieces for the "playoff run". I don't like talk like that one bit. I don't care if they are 1 game out of 2nd place in the East. That would be stupid. It's actually really bothering me.

And UNC left the bases loaded in the top of the 8th w/ one out. First hitter struck out. 2nd hitter CHASED a terrible pitch while the runner on 3rd was stealing home. If he just took it - the guy stealing would have been safe. Total meltdown by UNC.

FYI, the pilot is a free download from iTunes this week. I believe that expires tomorrow morning. It was there all week, but I never heard of it. Thanks to this thread I downloaded... still haven't watched though.

I had forgotten after his blown knee and then his Tommy John surgery, but Rocco Baldelli is a GOOD player.

Quite possibly the GREATEST manager meltdown I've EVER seen. LINK Sweet Lou Pinella has got NOTHING on this guy.

Al Leiter is such a good announcer.

The people on the Marlins board are saying that it will be on tomorrow night on FSN florida. There is no MLB game on ESPN due to the College World Series - so I think it will be available on MLB.tv.

Bisping is a fucking beast. I love him.

The other piece of the Josh Beckett deal, Anibal Sanchez will be making his MLB debut tomorrow night in Yankee stadium. Today's game got rained out and there is a day/night doubleheader tomorrow. They called him up to start the 8 pm game. Welcome to the bigs, man. He throws gas.

That was a great fight. 15 more seconds on the end and Ed taps. His face was bright red. But he got the contract anyway, so no matter.

My contract just ran out - so I got the RAZR through Verizon. Love it so far - toying w/ the idea of getting V-Cast, but I'm not sure how often I would use it. My last phone didn't even have a camera so it's a big step up. Can't say about the loudness issue one way or another as no one has called me in the two hours I've had it. We'll see - I'm loving the phone though.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how many fights are there on tomorrow night's show... the two finals and the main event? Or are there others? I just started watching about 3 weeks ago so I'm a little behind.

What the hell are you guys talking about? You're acting like I'm making a million posts a day. And I'm pretty sure it wouldn't "silence" me at all. Unless you're not talking about me. In that case, nevermind.

You're just mad cause the Cubs aren't going to be good for a few years.

I'm really hoping that the Marlins sweep the Yanks this weekend so the Yankee fans who don't pay attention to any other teams can have a coronary and the ever increasing national attention on the Marlins wll reach a fever pitch. Marlins sweep = 1,000,000 stories on how 5 Yankees make more than the entire Marlins payroll individually.

Video of Cabrera's play

So the Marlins use back to back pinch hit HRs to tie the game in the 9th. And then Miguel Cabrera knocks in the game winning run when the pitcher attempting to intentionally walk him put it right over the plate. One of the greatest plays I've ever seen.

I absolutely loved it. All the bad stuff people said on here and elsewhere had me a little worried, but my first intuition was right - this was my kind of movie. Like Bruiser said...the poop smear and all the farting was stupid, but Jack Black and his dialogue had me rolling. It seems like anything JB or Will Ferrell does makes me laugh - just about anything. With that said... I'm patiently awaiting The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.

Ozzie Guillen is in trouble for calling Jay Mariotti a "fucking fag." Let's see if that one gets mentioned on Around the Horn today.

Here's an interesting tidbit: Dontrelle Willis is now the all-time Marlins wins leader w/ 50 wins. He passed AJ Burnett. He's 24 w/ 50 wins...not too shabby.
