Think you had a rough weekend?
Try trading places with Cubs catcher Michael Barrett, who underwent surgery after being hit in the groin and suffering a "intrascrotal hemotoma."
It's as bad as it sounds.
I'm surprised the Orioles didn't trade for him two days before the incident. They need more depth at injured catcher.
What's more painful, Barrett's mishap or purchasing tickets to a Duke football game?
Richmond 13, Duke 0.
Could Colt McCoy be a quarterback at any other university except Texas?
I want him to win the Heisman, just for the name alone.
Ryan Howard hit his 50th homer today in the first game of a doubleheader.
Stop rubbing it in.
I'm looking to move into a big house with lots and lots of land. I'm thinking of having one built in foul territory at Oakland's McAfee Coliseum.
I could raise horses, build a guest house, maybe include a tot lot for the neighborhood kids.
Billy Rowell hit his first homer last night since being promoted to Aberdeen, a two-run shot to center field that some observers say is the longest at Ripken Stadium this year.
The IronBirds have a one-game lead in the NY-Penn League's wild card race.
And finally, I was almost brought to tears today watching Andre Agassi cry into his towel, and then his hands, and then openly, from the sustained ovation that followed his ouster in the third round of the US Open.
Agassi, who is retiring, took his final bows and continued to wipe away tears during one of the more emotional scenes that I've witnessed in sports - and there have been plenty. Benjamin Becker, who eliminated Agassi, stood and applauded along with the crowd, which was so pro-Agassi that it became silent each time Becker won a point.
Great stuff, but for me, nothing comes close to the last game at Memorial Stadium. I'm still carrying tissues, just in case.
