There has only been one Wimbledon Ladies final contested this decade that didn't include Venus or Serena Williams. That took place in 2006...all five of Roger Federer's Grand Slam final losses have been to Rafael Nadal...one real downside to Interleague play: the number of days off during stretches of play. I get that they want to build in a buffer if there are rainouts, but still, painful seeing Monday nights with a handful of games at best. You'd think they'd move up Interleague to a time when the NBA or NHL playoffs are on with all these days off...the Philadelphia Phillies have one of the worst home records in the Majors. That's the downside of winning a World Series and then your stars always being in demand for appearances when at home, says ESPN's Eric Karabell on the Baseball Today podcast, and word is Phillies management may order the players to drop all appearances for the next two months...with the NBA draft two days away, the Boston Celtics are looking to make a blockbuster deal with the Detroit Pistons. The Celts would move Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo with the Pistons shipping Dick Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince and Rodney Stuckey the other way...Roger Clemens is said to be contemplating a book to "set the record straight" says Baseball Today's Peter Pascarelli. Wouldn't that mean his version of the record wasn't already straight?...former Buffalo Bill and current NFL free agent J.P. Losman - once a first round draft pick - is said to be close to signing with the Las Vegas entry of the USL. Surely there's a backup job somewhere he could at least get a shot at before going that route, no?... Joel Sherman of the New York Post says that MLB should allow a "one-time, one-contract reprieve for all 30 teams." Similar to what the NBA did in 2005, Sherman basically says each team should be allowed to rid themselves of one contract, with MLB's central fund absorbing the money owed to the players. Those 30 players would then become free agents. Interesting read...Chicago Bulls and White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf will be making a bid on the Phoenix Coyotes that would leave the team in Phoenix. Good luck with that, Reinsdorf...Chris Chelios days in Detroit are finally done, at the age of 47. Surely that's the end of the road, no?...Carlos Beltran has joined the list of New York Mets walking wounded alongside Jose Reyes and Carlos Delgado, among others. The Mets are done...have a great Tuesday.

And they still managed to beat St. Louis... Not too worried though, Pujols is a moster this year and they'll win the rest of the series. Cards have also used 13 rookies so far this season and still leading their division... Surely a team for the future.
I can see why Detroit would love that trade idea, but that puzzles me for Boston. Rondo's one of the best point guards in the Eastern Conference; you give him up basically for Rip Hamilton and Rodney Stuckey? And where does Tayshaun Prince play after that trade? I guess Boston doesn't care about the cap space right now because they'll be over by a ton and I guess they might not want to pay big luxury tax for Rondo but that's a head-scratcher for me from Boston's perspective.
This will put in perspective how long Chelios has been around. I was watching ESPN classics on the weekend....Nords at Habs 84 playoffs. Chelios was a Hab playing with Gainey and Lafleur.
