TOP STORIES - JUNE 6, 2008  RED SOX/RAYS BRAWL: In a continuation of some things that happened the night before, Tampa starter James Shield plunks Coco Crisp, and Crisp charges the mound - guess you can say Coco went koo-koo for Cocoa Puffs. Considering Matt Kemp and Yorbit Torreabla just got four and three games respectably for their wrestling match over a tag, it's safe to say Coco and the Tampa ace Shields are looking at some vacation time. The Red Sox and Rays have had hostilities before, now that Tampa is good it is officially a rivalry. The brawl also had a further consequence for Boston when Jacoby Ellsbury later injured his wrist on a diving catch attempt, that was after Jacoby moved from left to center field to replace Crisp.BIZARRE SCENE IN MARINERS CLUBHOUSE: Upset with the team being on pace to be the first with a $100 million plus payroll to lose a 100 games, Mariners management orders the clubhouse opened immediately after the team got swept at home by the Angels. Players had no time to bolt (there is usually a 10-minute 'cooling off period') and were forced to speak to the media while manager John McLaren - who was said to had gotten an earful from the team president during a pre-game meeting, decided compelled to try to go Harold Beale with the following, I tried to fill in the blanks... 'We're playing our asses off every day and got nothing to show for it. I'm tired of (freakin') losing, I'm tired of getting my ass beat, and so have those guys. We gotta change this (BS) around and get after it. And only we can do it. The fans are pissed off, and I'm pissed off, and the players are pissed off. And that's the way it is. There's no (freakin') easy way out of this, can't feel sorry for ourself, we gotta (freakin') buckle it up and get after it. I'm tired of (freakin') losing this, (freakin') every night we bust our ass. It's gotta be a total team (freakin') effort to turn this thing around, and that's it. Think dude should had chilled and taken the Ned Yost approach myself, say that guys are 'struggling' and that the team has got to stay the course - these expletive-laden tirades get no one nowhere...  RED WINGS WIN CUP: Hold off another furious Pittsburgh rally and finally dispatches the Penguins in six games. Although the Penguins won two Cups in the Mario Lemieux era, this marks the first time the Cup has been awarded in the Steel City.PACKERS RB FENDS OFF INTRUDERS WITH BEDPOST: In an incident that shook up teammates who thought they were clear of being targets of crime in the NFL's smallest market, Packers running back Noah Herron was forced to fend off two intruders in his Green Bay home last weekend. According to the report, Herron was forced to unscrew a bedpost which he struck one of the intruders with. The suspect is still in the hospital while Herron is cooperating with authorities. BIG BROWN GOES OFF AT 2-5: Draws #1 post at Belmont, the inside position has produced 23 Belmont winners since 1905. Now can he make it a mile and a half on that balky hoof??? BIG PUSSY, PATRIOTS O-LINEMAN A RAT: Patriots lineman Nick Kazcur worked as an informant for the feds after being arrested on a charge of carrying oxycontin without a prescription, wearing a wire to help agents build a case against his alleged supplier. Kaczur was found with the painkillers after being caught traveling 76 MPH in a 65 zone. ROUSH DONE BEING OFFICIAL APOLOGISTS FOR MCMURRAY??? Did finally score a top-ten yesterday at Dover, but it appears that it will be way too little, way too late for Jamie McMurray, as sources say Roush Racing is expected to release the driver at the end of the 2008 season. McMurray has been a major disappointment since replacing Kurt Busch in the Roush stable a few years back. The move could set the dominoes of Silly Season into motion with possibly several big name drivers including Martin Truex, Greg Biffle, and Tony Stewart all perhaps moving on to new teams. ANOTHER DOG RACE COMING AT POCONO?? Recently teammates Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Gordon tested out the track, and were not thrilled with the condition of the surface, with the two saying that the facility is in long overdue in needs for major upgrades. CANUCKS ORGINIZATION STUNNED BY PROSPECT'S DEATH: Vancouver defenseman Luc Bourdon dies at age 21 after plowing his motorcycle into an oncoming tractor trailor last week while trying to pass another vehicle. Bourdon had only received his motorcycle license two weeks earlier, and it's said that inexperience with the sleek Suzuki GSX-R1000 may had played a role in the crash. Bourdon was the tenth overall pick of the 2005 NHL Draft and was considered a cant-miss prospect. Bourdon appeared in 27 games for the big club this past season, scoring two goals.BRONCOS CUT TIES WITH TRAVIS HENRY: Coach Mike Shanahan stood by him through last year, but the team has now cut Travis Henry, with Shanahan stating dissatisfaction with Henry's off-season program. Denver has plenty of running backs in it's stable, and Henry is one strike away from a one-year suspension in regards to the league's substance abuse program, a bullet Henry somehow dodged through some legal manuevering during the 2007 season. NASCAR BUSTS HAAS TEAMS: In it's most severe penalties handed out in recent years, NASCAR busts both the #66 car of Scott Riggs and #70 car of Johnny Sauter 150 points for violations found before last weekend's race at Charlotte. The #66 and #70 are owned by Gene Haas, who is currently doing jail time, and Tony Stewart has been mentioned as among the potential buyers for the struggling organization. The penalties are the most severe since Jeremy Mayfield was docked 151 points after his car was found with an illegal fuel additive at Talladega in 2000.  FORMER BIG-LEAGUE HURLER KILLED BY LIGHTNING: A government official in Venezuela says former major league pitcher Geremi Gonzalez is dead after being hit by lightning while standing on a pier at the beach. Gonzalez debuted in the Major Leagues with the Cubs in 1997 and also played for the Devil Rays, Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Brewers during his ten year MLB career and also pitched in Japan last year. His biggest claim to fame was actually when he was with the D-Rays, he was the opposing pitcher when Sammy Sosa's corked bat exploded. For most of his career Gerami was known as Jeremi until Gonzalez informed the Brewers about the correct spelling of his first name two years ago. Gerami was age 33.PITTSBURGH RADIO LOUD MOUTH FIRED: ESPN Radio affiliate fires Mark Madden after making a crack at terminally ill senator Ted Kennedy last week. The former wrestling commentator mused that he was disappointed to hear that Ted was sick because he wanted to see him 'live long enough to be assassinated'. I don't even think Hillary Clinton was amused. And I know the right-wing talk radio world has been lining up to take shots at Ted in recent days - but here's one piece of advice to radio/TV people who want to keep their jobs - as another wrestler would say, never, EVER, mention any political figure and assassinations in the same sentence, that just might prove to be a career saver. RACIAL SLURS HURLED TOWARDS MLS PLAYER: New England is awarded a penalty kick in the 89th minute at Columbus - Kheli Dube's spot kicked is saved, but Dube scores on the rebound. The fans filming the moment and uploading it onto YouTube admit to shouting racial obscenities (warning, VERY OFFENSIVE content, as in the N word) at Dube, and you can see a couple of drinks being thrown at the players as well. Message to those proud 'fans' who just got their 15 minutes worth of fame - YOU DON'T LIVE IN CLEVELAND, YOU LIVE IN COLUMBUS!!! ANOTHER BASEBALL FAN DIES AFTER FALLING OFF ESCALATOR: In an incident eerily similar to what happened at Shea Stadium a few weeks back, a fan at Atlanta's Turner Field falls anywhere from 60 to 150 feet (depending on the various reports) to his death after he attempted to slide down an escalator railing while leaving during the eighth inning. Authorities believed that alcohol was a factor in the accident.  DANICA WANTED A PIECE OF RYAN BRISCOE: The question continues to be asked - how would Danica Patrick fare in NASCAR??? My opinion on that is she's better off right now in the open wheel world, she needs Indy Car and Indy Car needs her. I'll tell you what though, after seeing her stalk towards Ryan Briscoe's pit yesterday, one thing is for certain - she wouldn't back down to anyone in NASCAR. After saying 'Congrats to Dixon' in the post-race TV interview, Danica was asked what she would had said to Briscoe had she gotten to him, her response - 'Probably best I didn't get down there anyways, isn't it...' File that sound bite right next to 'stupid idiot'. Meanwhile Denny Hamlin thought it was something for another team's pit crew to come after him, how would he like to clip Danica on a caution lap??? Or would anyone else in NASCAR want any part of Danica??? Tony Stewart??? Carl Edwards??? Kevin Harvick??? Kyle Busch??? Any takers - anyone??? I have to admit, I'm liking her more by the minute, and IndyCar best realize they've hit the mother lode with this gal.JON LESTER REVEALS HIS DAD NOW HAS CANCER: Red Sox pitcher who survived his own battle with lymphoma reveals that his dad has a very treatable form of the same disease. The Tacoma, WA product went public with his father's illness so fans wouldn't speculate on his hair loss when the Red Sox visit Seattle this week. SELVIN YOUNG SAYS HE CAN RUSH FOR 2,000 YARDS: You may want to elevate the Broncos running back on your fantasy cheat sheets, as he says that it may sound crazy, but he truly believes he can rush for 2,000 yards this year - that is unless whoever the Broncos drafted in Round 6 doesn't unseat him in training camp. Meanwhile you might want to knock Marion Barber III a peg, as the league has come down on him like they did on teammate Roy Williams a couple years back, the competition committee now says that MB3's signature stiff-arm would now draw a 15-yard penalty if delivered to the face. The league is concerned that players were now using the stiff-arm as a 'weapon'. WILD THING - TURNBOW GETS EVEN WORSE IN MINORS: Forget the majors, Derrick Turnbow wouldn't even be able to help an independent league team right now, in 4 1/3 innings at AAA Nashville, Turnbow has walked 15 batters while compiling a 14.54 ERA. Also unimpressive at the AAA level is veteran Jeff Weaver, who has a 6.52 ERA thus far. NAT SERIES FRACAS AT LOWE'S: We finally saw what can stop Joe Gibbs Racing Saturday night, his own driver. Kyle Busch runs for Braun Racing in the event and wins his ninth race in all competitions this year. But while Kyle was taking his bow while fans hurled their drinks at him, a fracas between the crews of Denny Hamlin and Junior Motorsports driver Brad Keselowski was breaking out on pit road. Things got testy between Hamlin and Keselowski and teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the closing laps after Hamlin decided to ram into the #88 car of Keselowski during a caution period, which drew retaliation from Junior. Hamlin called out Keselowski's etiquette afterwards, saying Kes was not racing fair, and that if you throw a rock, that he's going to 'throw a concrete block'. Hamlin is going to find himself as hated as Kyle pretty soon. MAN-U REACHES PROMISED LAND AGAIN!!! They will now talk about 'that morning in Moscow' in Manchester United lore. World MVP Cristiano Ronaldo figured to be the goat after having his shot denied during the penalty kick competition, but was let off the hook after Chelsea captain John Terry sees his would-be clinching kick hit the post after slipping on the turf in the Moscow downpour. United would go on to win 6-5 in penalty kicks (1-1 AET). MUFC finishes the year with both the Champions League and Premiere League regular season titles. BITCHSLAP RESULTS IN RED CARD: Signature moment of the match comes in the 117th minute when controversial Chelsea forward Didier Drogba gets his money's worth with a bitch-slap that resulted in a straight red card - it's said Drogba was due in the #5 hole for the shootout, the kick that would eventually be taken by John Terry. It had already been speculated that Chelsea had tired of Drogba's act and was already on his way out of Stamford Bridge - enjoy your time in MLS!!! DO JAVELIN THROWERS GET BONUS POINTS FOR HITTING THE MEDIA??? Maybe in the Beijing 2008 video game or something. Plenty goes on at your typical track meet, at any given moment you can have the 3,000 meter steeplechase being held on the track, perhaps the triple jump going on in the pit, the pole vault at one end of the infield, and then you have the guys photographers really have to worry about, the javelin throwers. This unfortunate media member ended up getting gored just below the knee, that's him taking a picture of his own damage!!! At least it wasn't the discus in the back of the noggin. Most of the weapon was sawed off at the scene, with the rest removed in the ER and the photographer taking 13 stitches. Incredibly, the photographer then gets a ride back to the stadium and covers the rest of the event. And then there's the best part, this all occurred on the BYU campus, where Strongman Ken Patera is still in the record books in regards to the discus and the shotput, wonder if he ever dotted anyone...SIR CHARLES NOT QUITE PAID UP: Charles Barkley paid up a $400,000 gambling 'loan' earlier this week, but now finds out that he has to pay a ten percent 'processing fee' to the DA office - that would be an additional $40,000. Charles might still consider himself lucky the guys in Vegas have been known to tack on some hyper-inflated interest charges and even break a leg or two on occasion. GOODELL FLOATS IDEA OF 17TH GAME: Notice things are getting a little testy between the commish and the NFLPA. Goodell says he'd like to add an extra regular season game in place of a pre-season game. Union head Gene Upshaw says not so fast, 'We're not going to agree to play an extra game and not get paid for it. That's what they want us to do. That discussion is going to be very short.' Meanwhile the NFL owners opted for an early-out in the Collective Bargaining Agreement earlier this week, leading to the spector of no salary cap in 2010 and perhaps a 'zero game season' in 2011. JON LESTER NO-HITTER!!! No, it isn't just the Brewers that get their heads handed to them in Boston. Less than two years removed from a bout with cancer, Jon Lester no-hits Kansas City 7-0 in a emotional scene at Fenway Park. Lester struck out nine and walked only two en route to his gem. It is the second no-hitter in less than a year's time at Fenway, then-rookie Clay Buchholz turned the trick last September. This also marks the fourth no-hitter caught by Jason Varitek - see Schilling, never shake your catcher off. |
