Recently returned right fielder Ryan Church’s first inning grand slam led the Mets to an eventual 9-2 victory, and a sweep of the Brewers.  In the post game press conference, Church pointed out that it was an overall team effort, and asked reporters to kindly refrain from using the word “slam”.

The Yankees continue to cling desperately to their last remaining shreds of playoff hope, beating the Rays 8-4 for their second straight win over the division leaders.  The game also marked perennial pariah Carl Pavano’s third start since returning, and the third Yankee victory in his appearances.  He can’t be beat…. FOUR MORE YEARS!!!

Brett Favre was officially named one of the Jets’ team captains today.  Evidently his teammates don’t mind that he weeps in front of his locker daily, or the fact that he is clearly wearing a Packers jersey under his Jets gear.

Recently released Lions running back Tatum Bell was caught on a locker room security camera stealing the bags of Rudi Johnson, the player brought in to replace him.  Bell however, insists that when he saw the unattended bags, he was only following his civic obligation to the “If you see something, Say something” mandate.
