I'm starting to think this Santana guy might be pretty good one day...even if he did unintentionally walk Chan Ho Park twice.

Steve Phillips said on Baseball Tonight that (and I'm paraphrasing here) Met position players become transfixed by Santana and that's what's responsible for his low run support. John Kruk called that idea ridiculous. I never thought I'd agree with John Kruk on anything. See what you did, Steve Phillips? I hope you're happy with yourself.

And really, Romi deserves credit for guessing the 10. I'm the idiot who forgot to put in the HOF qualifier to my statement. As for this 10...I'll pass. I can pretend that it's because I want to let someone else win, but really, it's because the NHL is not and will never be my strong suit.

Roy Halladay and Zack Greinke might be pitching the best of any two pitchers in the AL right now. I'd brag that I have both of them on my fantasy team, but since I was ignorant enough to leave Greinke on the the bench for his CG shutout against the White Sox, I should probably just shut up.

Steve Phillips works for ESPN because that is where guys go who can't get jobs with actual teams. Wonder why he has no offers to GM anywhere? It is because he has no idea what he is talking about...

How embarrassing it must have been for Bettman when he walked onto the room and Roger Goodell shouted out his drink order and Bud Selig informed him that the toilet was plugged and he should "get on it". What followed next was very awkward.

Two Overtimes at almost the same time was great, the Pens kept things interesting then the Hurricanes made the Bruins very uncomfortable.(What comes next, its typed from the heart) The Bruins have not faced adversity like this really all season. It should be very interesting how they respond.How about that 'Canes crowd? They willed Stall goal you could feel it coming then the overtime goal, damm I felt bad for Thomas.

In my continuation to give baseball a fair shake this year after the 2 exciting overtime games I settled into the Jays vs. Angels. Its 7-0 top of the third and I'm thinking have I given a fair enough shake yet can I go to bed now? Just joking with Halladay on the mound the game always goes pretty quick. Just in case anyone cared about my feelings on baseball status, I guess.

A pity for Chan Ho Park. After abusing him, I feel that I owe him a pat on the back. Six scoreless - especially for a Phillies pitcher - is amazing. Too bad he had to get a no decision there. But Santana was outstanding.

I would not be surprised to see that happen in his next start. Nor would I be surprised to see Mayers give up 5 solo homers.

Oh geez it was staring me right in the face they are the points leaders for active NHL'ers, I'm so stupid I knew Sakic and Mats were drafted different years by the same team.

Well, the name it is from the heartfelt moment between the Black Captain and the White Captain in remember the titans. Or maybe it wasn't a heartfelt moment, but that's what movie it is from.

Personally I think it's obnoxious to put the comment section first, but that's just me.

Neither Boston nor LA will make the Finals. Mark my words.

The twins game was total shit. It's going to be in my article tomorrow-ish.

No mention of the Dodgers record setting home win streak?

Favre is not the answer for the vikings. He'll make them a better team, but he's not what they need. They need a precision passer who has enough of an arm to utilize berrian, and it'd be nice if the QB was mobile (wildcat ftw).

On a separate yet related note, I think Favre still has a couple years left. I wouldn't be surprised to see him break Testaverde's record of most consecutive seasons with a TD pass.

A late congratulations to AGM founder Pean. Don't forget us here at the chair! To read this story, check the lockerroom...

Playoffs

The Lakers and Celtics each evened up their respective second round series. Each team won their game easily by double digits. Houston and Orlando will each host their respective game 3 as the NBA Playoffs continue on...

Pittsburgh and Carolina each pulled off an overtime win. Jokinen and Letang were the goal scorers who gave their teams that third crucial goal for their team to win the game. Carolina takes a two games to one lead over Boston with their victory. Pittsburgh wins their first game of the series as they pull with-in one game of D.C. All four NHL series now are scored at two games to one...

Baseball Notes

The New York Mets won on a error. 0 earned runs crossed the plate as the Mets pull out a win in the pitcher's duel. Chan Ho Park threw six scoreless innings lowering his season ERA to a whopping 6.67 while Johan Santana dominated in his 7 innings of work. He struck out 10 (9 swinging) and lowered his season ERA to 0.91!!! His amazing start has him posting 4 wins on the season as well...

The Yankees and Rays played 10. Carlos Pena belted his league leading 12th home run to sure up a Rays win...

Bronson Arroyo showed once again that he sucks. He gave up 9 runs and only got 3 outs. Janish, the Reds' shortstop, had a better outing; he only gave up five runs but also struck out 2 (which is 2 more than Arroyo). Brandon Phillips, Jay Bruce, Prince Fielder, J.J. Hardy, and Ryan Braun, all fantasy commodities, went yard as the Brew-Crew destroyed Cincinnati in the Great American Ballpark...

Baltimore took down Minnesota as the game went final due to rain after only 5 1/2 innings...

Rich Harden threw 7 innings allowing 3 runs but still picked up a Chicago win as Aramis Ramirez and company knock the ball around in Minute Maid Field...

Kansas City continues to shock the world as they roll over the Seattle Mariners 9-1. The Royals are now 17-11! Not the presumed 11-17. Keep on shuffling Kansas City...

St. Louis used 6 pitchers to end their slide and pick up a victory over Pittsburgh. Albert Pujols went four for four with a home run (his 11th on the season)...

Randy Johnson got rocked by the Rockies. Counterpart Ubaldo Jimenez was masterful. He stuck out six in seven innings of work while allowing only one run. Troy Tulowitzki continues to struggle, but the Rockies win eleven to one...

Justin Upton started the season on the bench. He now has 6 home runs after knocking two out of the park against the Padres. Jake Peavy tossed 7 innings with only 2 runs scored. He struck out 12, but he still had to pick up the loss. He deserves better than that...

Toronto destroyed the Angels. Roy Halladay pitched a gem once again; 8 innings, 6 strikeouts, and only 1 earned run. Doc picked up his 6th win on the season. He is now tied with with Zack Greinke for the league lead in the wins category...

Ever Wonder?

Does it even count as a retirement if he doesn't take any time off?
