Get your winning wagers down!
Bye bye Baaahstan
- Toronto has a champion! The Toronto Nationals - who? - won the Major League Lacrosse championship in their first year.
- Another baseball player, another freak off field injury. This time, it is Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez who suffered a puncture wound after - wait for it - catching a steak knife after if fell off his plate.
- The New York Yankees have now won 6 of 7 against the Boston Red Sox, including an 8-4 win last night paced by five neck breaking off Josh Beckett at Fenway Paaaahk. That's now a 7.5 game lead in the AL East for the Bronx Bombers and with 6 weeks to go, that about wraps that up. A date with Detroit in the playoffs looks likely.
- Liverpool and Aston Villa play today in English Premier League action, with a 3pm kickoff. This past weekend, Tottenham and Chelsea continued their perfect starts with their third wins on the trot.
- After his record setting week in Berlin for the World Track and Field Championships, Usain Bolt was given a three tonne chunk of the Berlin Wall. Didn't that come down in 1989? Anyways, maybe they can strap it to Bolt's back when he runs to make things a bit more competitive.
- In case you were wondering, from the numbers 0 to 1,000, the letter "A" only appears in 1,000 (one thousand).
- The No Fun League is at it again, looking to police the amount of drinking that takes place before and during games. Lame. What's next, they try to limit gambling?

Ah ... I meant last night.
Haven't checked the lines as of yet.
Though it's nice to see the Nats are back in Nats form (won yesterday, but five straight Ls ahead of it).
nice call on the draw.
did you know n.e. was +410 at seattle thursday?
crazy.
nil - nil draw?
Proposals to make soccer higher scoring:
* Allow team with ball to stop the game every few seconds so they can stand around and strategize their next offensive maneuver.
* Give seven points for a goal.
* Give three points for not quite scoring, but managing to get the ball close enough that you can hoof it over the net.
* Two points for tackling an opponent in their 18-yard box.
* The amateur versions of the game will feature a rule where if you miss the net but manage to kick it 20-plus rows into the stands, you get one point.
