The Boston Red Sox rode a no-hitter into the seventh from Dice-K Matsuzaka and a pair of runs into a 2-0 win and a series lead. With three on the road in Boston to come after today, it is nothing short of a must-win for the Rays...pitcher Brett Myers has more hits than Ryan Howard, but that's not holding back the Philadelphia Phillies from taking a 2-0 lead over the LA Dodgers. They're now off to L.A. for three games..former Tampa Bay Lightning coach John Tortorella, who made a living out of banging on the media until he joined them, teed off on Ottawa Senator Jason Spezza for how he does interview. Weird. Almost as weird as the way Spezza is always smiling in his interview and finishes each thought with what he thinks is a punch line and then laughs...another round of World Cup qualifiers goes today, including Canada likely getting fisted at Honduras. As always, there are several interesting games going in Europe - Croatia at Ukraine, Russia at Germany, Portugal at Sweden and more...qualifiers will cost Toronto FC Carl Robinson (Wales), Amado Guevara (Honduras), Carlos Ruiz (Guatemala), Tyrone Marshal (Jamaica) and Kevin Harmse (Canada) as they travel to face FC Dallas in a must-win game, who, unfortunately, will have Kenny Cooper in the lineup...the first bout in the classic Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs rivalry goes in Toronto tonight. Habs win this one...talk about a tough week for Hugh Hefner. First, Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson jump ship. Then, there's talk he's near financial ruin. You know what fixes that? 19 year-old twins moving in...chicks may dig the long ball, but that don't mean success for your team in the NL. Ryan Howard is the first home run champion in the NL to advance to the League Championship Series since 1995...from the Department of Lame, the NFL fined Arizona Cardinal Adrian Wilson for the hit that left Buffalo Bill Trent Edwards concussed. Here's hoping they also fined the ground, because that looked like it rocked his head a lot harder than Wilson did...Cleveland Browns tight end Sargeant Kellen Winslow Jr. remains in hospital, allegedly for swollen nuts...have a great Saturday.

Habs win this one? Are you crazy? The Leafs beat the defending champs on banner night, and the wings even added Hossa!
Rosenborg tried to solve the Kenny Cooper situation for you this summer but unfortunately failed. Too bad, would have liked to see him play over here.
But seriously, if EPL, la Liga, Serie A and others can manage to take a break for national teams without facing financial ruin and having the TV companies on their back, why can't MLS? The thing is about as stupid as not pausing the regular season during the All-star weekend...
i would LOVE to see the red sox lose. on the flip side, though, watching games from that dingy dome just ain't much fun.
there is something refreshingly "real" about the way spezza does interviews. the league could use more like him.
BHJ - somewhere in Woodbridge, there is an overly greased up dude saying the exact same thing, while holding his package.
Norway - they're supposed to fix that for next year but cannot believe they've made it this far without seeing how bush league it is to keep playing while teams are minus (presumably) their best players.
GBVH - love Spezza too, his interviews are a bit off beat, but beats listening to clowns like Cujo and the like who wouldn't show some enthusiasm if they were set on fire. For my money, that's why guys (typically American) like Roenick and Chelios rule, and Brett Hull too (if you want to call him American). They have opinions and are sharp guys.
LMAO @ the subtitle. Fantastic.
(Takes a bow)
