The Yanks open a 3 game set at the Stadium tonight against Fausto Carmona and the Cleveland Indians. Returning to the days of plate discipline will be a key to tonight's game.While I don't wish injury upon anyone, Carmona is my top pick for an injury this year after seeing an increase of 141 innings last year (74 in '06 to 215 in '07). We are certainly seeing some affects of his work load increase so far in 2008. After walking only 61 batters all of last year (2.55/9), Carmona has already walked 26 batters this season (6.88/9). He has also allowed a hit per inning (34 H in 34 IP) making for an extremely high whip of 1.731. He has walked exactly twice the batters that he has struck out so far (13 Ks, 26 BBs). Regardless of all of this, Carmona has only allowed 1 HR so far this year which h

Although I don't use this very often, the Can Opener (Basic Neck Crank) is a very simple submission that can also be used as a very effective way to set up a guard pass.Video (Submissions 101):-Your opponent has you in a very tight guard-You get your arms inside-With your elbows tight together, you grip behind his head and start to torque it towards you, cranking his neck-If he doesn't tap, more times than not, he will at least unhook his legs, which you can use to immediately go for a guard pass.Cautions:-This move is dangerous, so apply with care.-If you are going to use it, watch out for the armbar.(Note: I've just seen far too many grip break to arm-drag to armbar counters)-The easiest counter to this move is to post your hands into the sternum of the person using this on you and stif

COLOMBO (Sri Lanka): Opener Dedunu Silva scored 76 off 109 balls to take Sri Lanka to a convincing 96-run win over Pakistan in the opening match of the Women’s Asia Cup in Dambulla on Friday. Her half-century stands with Chamari Polgampola and Shashikala Siriwardene allowed Sri Lanka to set Pakistan a target of 226. In reply, Pakistan crawled to 129 for 8 in 50 overs. Silva hit 12 fours in her innings and was run out in the 37th over after taking her side to 150. Urooj Mumtaz, the Pakistan captain, top scored for her side with 33 and Sajjida Shah was the only other batsman to score over 30. Left-arm spinner Suwini de Alwis picked up two wickets while Shiromala Weerakkody, Eshani Kaushalya and Polgampola took one each.In the second match, Bangladesh received an unpleasant welcome to the A

Sometimes the wheel needs to be reinvented, and the side-operation can opener, like this Good Grips Smooth Edge model from Oxo, is a case in point. Designed to operate on the horizontal, the opener makes a smooth cut below the can edge. The lid doesn't fall into the can, and the opener makes minimal contact with can contents. Built-in lid pliers let you grip the lid without touching it for clean

And so it begins...Austin's baseball career officially started this week. His first t-ball game was a roller coaster of fun. Austin is quite the little competitor and Daddy really got in to it. There were as many parents on the field as children. When a batter connected with the ball it was like a mini stampede. Austin kept trying to go after the ball. After about the third time of not getting the ball when he started running toward Clif and crying. I have to give him credit, though. He dried up and went after the next ball. Finally, he got one and then another and life was good. His at bats were fun too. He had to swing a couple of times to hit it at each bat, but once he connected he hit it a good way. The thing that amazed me the most was how he had picked up on baseball mannerisms. He

The Red Sox won their fourth straight home opener with a 5-0 win over the Detroit Tigers yesterday at Fenway Park. Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched six-and-two-thirds innings of shutout baseball to improve to 2-and-0 with the win. Kevin Youkilis had three hits and drove in two runs, and is now batting .400.

The Texas Rangers had their home opener spoiled by the Baltimore Orioles Tuesday afternoon, losing in an 8-1 blowout at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Ian Kinsler had the only run batted in on the day, scoring David Murphy in the seventh inning. Meanwhile, Jason Jennings' woes continued on the mound as he gave up four runs on seven hits, including a pair of homers. He was pulled after two outs in the fifth inning and was tagged with the loss. The series is set to continue tonight at 7:05 p.m., with left hander Kason Gabbard taking the mound for Texas against Baltimore right hander Steve Trachsel.

The New York Mets were hoping to begin their final season at Shea Stadium with a home opener that the packed house of 56,350 would not soon forget. As it turned out, the Philadelphia Phillies sent the crowd home with a forgettable performance by the Mets; Jayson Werth's single capped a three-run 7th inning, pushing the Phillies to a 5-2 victory over the Mets Tuesday. Philadelphia was led by Jimmy Rollins, going 2-for-5 with 2 runs scored and an RBI while Shane Victorino went 2-for-4 with a run scored. Jamie Moyer (1-0) picked up the win, pitching 6 innings, allowing 4 hits, 2 earned runs, walking 3 and striking out 1. Reliever Tom Gordon picked up his first save of the season.New York was led by Carlos Delgado, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a run scored, an RBI while committing a throwing

The Astros won their home opener Monday, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3 at Minute Maid Park. New shortstop Miguel Tejada endeared himself to fans by hitting a two-run homer in the bottom of the 9th to bring Houston the win. Lance Berkman and Carlos Lee went back-to-back, and J.R. Towles launched a solo shot, as Houston scored all five runs over the final three frames to pick up its third win of the season. Wandy Rodriguez twirled seven-and-a-third innings of shutout ball in a no-decision. The Astros take on St. Louis again tonight at Minute Maid at 7:05 with Shawn Chacon set to pitch for Houston.

While we were all working extremely hard on a Monday afternoon, 37,491 of our baseball-loving friends turned out at PNC Park for the pomp and pageantry that was the Pirates' 2008 Home Opener: Donnie Iris, Bill Mazeroski, Lou Piniella, Aramis Ramirez, a former Povertyneck Hillbilly, AND a flyover. Luckily, I arranged in advance for a first-person report, and made sure my field correspondent put their photo-taking emphasis on the really interesting stuff: the action around the game. I'm sure you already know that the Pirates dug a 7-0 hole by the 3rd inning, I'm sure you know that they somehow botched a 9th-inning rally with a bizarre, two-on/one-out bunt, and I'm sure you know that ultimately, the Pirates would send their fans home disappointed with a 10-8 loss in 12 innings. So here's wha

Last night Jon Garland recorded a win in his first start for the Angels, working eight full innings to give up six hits and one run. He didn't throw any strikeouts, but you can't expect too many from him (His K/9 for 2005-2007: 4.68, 4.77, 4.23)--and anyway, he only gave up one walk (a promising sign from a pitcher who had a 1.75 BB/9 two years ago). Also, in the same game, young catcher Mike

The New York Yankees won their final home opener at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday as they sent their fans home happy with a 3-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Yankees ace Chien-Ming Wang had a very strong outing against Toronto as he went 7 innings allowing just 2 runs on 6 hits, he struck out two, and walked two. Roy Halladay had a quality start, but Wang was just a little better. Halladay also went 7 frames and gave up three runs on 7 hits, striking out 3 and giving up 2 free passes. Melky Cabrerra went deep for the Bronx Bombers. New York is now 1-0, while Toronto is 0-1.© Copyright 2008 thesackattack.com

Serena Williams began her title defense at the $3.45 million Sony Ericsson Open with a dominating performance. The eighth-seed needed just 54 minutes to claim a 6-1, 6-2 win over unseeded Romanian Edina Gallovits in second round action Friday.One of 32 players to receive a first-round bye, Williams improved to 42-5 all-time here, including a win over world No. 1 Justine Henin in last year’s championship match. The 26-year-old also claimed three consecutive titles here from 2002-04 and was a runner-up to older sister Venus Williams in 1999. The former world No. 1 and eight-time Grand Slam champion never faced a break against Gallovits and won 23-of-25 (92 percent) first-serve points. Her third-round foe will be No. 27 Flavia Pennetta, a 6-4, 6-2 winner against Anastasia Rodionova.

...Willie Randolph announced yesterday that Pedro Martinez will be slotted to make the Mets home opener start. This is something that makes sense to me, considering Johan will make the season debut.Pedro was quoted as saying the following:"I'm pretty sure they're interested in seeing Johan as well," Martinez said, referring to the Shea faithful. "But I think before Johan gets to the mound, they're going to have to settle for the old goat and a very familiar face - even though I'm pretty sure they're going to enjoy it just as much as I will."CLICK HERE FOR THE ARTICLE

...This comes from Newsday.com:Although Duaner Sanchez threw another inning yesterday, it's clear that the odds are stacked against him being ready for Opening Day.Sanchez hasn't pitched in a major-league game in 20 months because of two shoulder surgeries and seems to be, at best, two weeks away. He still hasn't pitched back-to-back games, something relievers typically do toward the end of camp. "That will happen when the time is right," Sanchez said.Pitching in a minor-league exhibition against the Cardinals' Triple-A team yesterday morning, Sanchez gave up only a leadoff double. His fastball consistently hit 91 mph. "I feel great," he said. "That's all that matters."CLICK HERE FOR THE ARTICLE

Reported By Stephen Rhodes The chances of Oakland A's third basemen starting in the team's season opener appear remote, at best. At least that's the feeling around the team's clubhouse as of late; the team's trainer, Steve Sayles, wouldn't say whether Chavez would make the team's trip to Japan on March 19, but he told John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle, "It would be more advantageous if he stayed here and got work done."Chavez hasn't done much during spring training, as he hasn't done any running or fielding grounders; he has been limited to throwing lightly and batting practice. As anyone who has had a back procedure knows, the recovery time from back surgery can be painfully slow, and the recent epidural that Chavez received further delayed his recovery timetable. At the present ra

Wariner runs second at 200-meters in Sydney Grand PrixThe season opener didn’t go so hot for Jeremy Wariner. The Aussie, Daniel Batman, beat Wariner in the 200-meters at the Sydney Grand Prix in Australia. Batman led from the start and won in 20.81. Jeremy was second in 20.93.J Dub's time was decent considering the early time of year, and a lost in the 200-meters means nothing. The 400 is his bread and butter."This is really just a tuneup race for me to see where I'm at with my training and what I need to work on," Wariner said.However, the race won't be enough to satisfy the "do nothing" media. They will write that Wariner is off to a bad start since leaving Coach Hart and his career is ruined. That's garbage.But this race sure didn't help him in the court of public opinion.By Jay Hick

Beer. One of the most important discoveries in the history of humankind. We honour the god of beer everyday in the quiet of our homes, in the hustle of a public house or the bustle of a house party.

Some are debating as to whether global warming actually exists... but to tell you the fact, studies have shown that even if we start stabilizing Greenhouse emissions now, the effects of global warming will last for decades.

Well, its what I consider to be the third greatest time of the year, Conference time. The first two are the beginning of the season and post-season time, respectively. Last night was our conference opener. We played Eckerd College and won. I have a personal rivalry with Eckerd, since my brother went there and I almost went there. The game was a back and forth game all night. The final score was 73-72. This is the fourth year in a row that we have won our conference opener. Michael Baptiste and Ed Millard provided the opening baskets for the Knights. After the game was tied 7-7, we went on an 11-2 run, but Eckerd responded with a 14-2 run. The score at half was 31-26. Eckerd and us traded baskets to start the 2nd half, until we took the lead four minutes in on a Randy Jones three-pointer. We were up at one point 55-44, before Eckerd went on an 11-1 run. We traded shot for shot and point for point and hitting key free throws down the stretch. Luke Postorino hit 5 free throws, including 1

Dear Useless Men,How do you open a can of tuna/ beans/ etc if you can not find your can opener?Signed,Woman with a Very Big Rock in her Hand Dear Woman with a Very Big Rock in her Hand,First, may I suggest that you drop the rock and back away from the can slowly. Opening cans with rocks may seem like a good idea but it will usually render the contents of the can unusable. Since you seem bent on destruction, and not consumption, then allow me to suggest some far more ingenious methods of destruction. The simplest, and often most pungent, method would be to stuff the can in question inside of a fire. Some will say that vent holes would be a good idea. I say it robs you of the satisfying bang that comes when you know that the can is opened! It also saves some nasty burns as you fish around a live fire checking to see if it opened yet. If you are afraid of getting burned then you can move on to more mechanical solutions. You can try to run over the can with your car but you'll find

Recently, I wrote an article on Swiss Army Knives and Leatherman tools, and how I felt they were highly overrated. I backed up this boldly irreverent claim with a few examples of how obstacles encountered on the road can be overcome without the trusty tool. All we need is a little creativity and ingenuity. Of course, not everyone agreed – which is totally understandable – and I thank everyone who took the time to comment and provide their own take and help make the article infinitely more balanced. Anyway, one scenario in the post briefly touched upon the opening of beer and wine bottles. Although I mentioned a few items that can use to open beer bottles, I failed to illustrate exactly how they are used.

Been awhile since the Pack has won the first game of the season,but they did it this season.

Thursday night, the Indianapolis Colts crushed the Saints of New Orleans in the NFL season opener, 41-10. I picked the Colts to win, but never gave it a thought that the Saints would look so horrible.Drew Brees passed for a semi-decent 192 yards, but didn't throw for any touchdowns. He did, however, throw two interceptions. Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush both rushed for a disappointing 38 yards and no touchdowns.On the brighter side of the game, the Colts, led by Peyton Manning, looked just as good as they did last year. Manning passed for 288 yards and 3 touchdowns, two of which went to receiver Reggie Wayne.Although I thought this game would be closer, my prediction for the most part was correct. The colts won, but the Saints came nowhere close. Don't count out the Saints just yet, though. They have a good team and a good coach. They should have the kinks worked out by next week's game against Tampa Bay. I'll have my predictions for this week's remaining games posted by Saturd

This was supposed to be a 2 team shootout, but the Colts did all of the shooting on the NFL Thursday night opener. Here are some of the highlights from the Colts fantasy football starters.Peyton Manning - 18 of 30 for 288 yards and 3 TDsReggie Wayne - 7 receptions for 115 yards and 2 TDsMarvin Harrison - 4 catches for 83 yards and a touchdownJoseph Addai - 117 yards rushing for 1 TD, 3 receptions for 25 yardsMeanwhile, the New Orleans Saints high-powered offense was shut down by the revamped Colts defense. Here are the results.Drew Brees - 28 of 41 for 192 yards and 2 interceptionsReggie Bush - 38 yards rushing for no TDs, 4 catches for 6 yardsDeuce McAllister - 39 yards rushing for no TDs, 2 rec. for 7 yardsEric Johnson - 8 receptions for 56 yardsA possible waiver wire pickup is the Indianapolis Colts defense. Its early in the season, but the Colts only allowed 4 points and had 2 int.'s, a fumble recovery and 1 touchdown. Pretty good start to the year. If you watched the game, the Co

According to official sources, England boss Brian Ashton named his squad for the defending champion's Rugby World Cup opener against the United States in Lens on Saturday.Ashton was forced into a late change after Jonny Wilkinson's new injury jinx struck with the flyhalf suffering a twisted ankle in training here Tuesday."Indeed, Jonny Wilkinson twisted his ankle in training this morning and is not available for selection," Ashton expressed."I think he is going for a scan this afternoon to determine the nature and the extent of the injury and until tomorrow there will be no further medical update."Bath's Olly Barkley will inherit the number 10 shirt, with Saracens' Andy Farrell lining up on the bench. And despite Wilkinson's absence Ashton was in bullish mood ahead of the game at Lens' Felix-Bollaert ground."We've picked a XV that we think will do a job against the USA," he stated.In all there were six modifications from the side that lined up to face France in the second of Eng

Coach Mike McCarthy characterized Jackson’s concussion from practice today as “mild,” and didn’t rule Jackson out of playing Thursday night at Tennessee. However, any concussion is of major concern because of the unpredictable nature of head injuries, and there’s a chance he won’t be recovered for next week’s opener. Reported by Pete Dougherty, Green Bay Post-Gazette <<<Hotwire>>> Assuming Jackson doesn’t play Thursday, the Packers will go into Tennessee with rookie DeShawn Wynn, who will be making his preseason debut after missing the first three games because of a quadriceps injury; Noah Herron, who’s the No. 3 halfback behind Jackson and Morency; and undrafted rookie Corey White, who’s also expected to get some work at fullback.

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Mike Martz is expecting injured tailback Kevin Jones to return by the start of the regular season. The prognosis for Jones’ return has been up in the air since late last season, when he sustained a severe injury to his left foot. There has been speculation that Jones will miss at least the first six games of the season. However, Martz said Wednesday that he thinks Jones will be ready to play when the Lions play at Oakland on Sept. 9. Reported by  Mike O’Hara, Detroit News <<<Hotwire>>> I don’t know if Martz is sincerely optimistic or just in denial but I’d still draft Jones around the 8th round. Worst case scenario, you get a fresh legged, mid-season boost from a proven RB. Best case, you have a starting RB by week one and only spent an 8th rounder for him.

View poll (such a cute baby asking for a lift- who can say ‘NO’, and now I was impressed so much with her sensibility, that I really wanted to shake hands with her fortunate parents!) Fine! – She said as she jumped in my car on the seat adjacent to me… {I started driving my car…zzzzzzz...00000...ooooom………….} Close to one small hut, she asked me to stop the car… I held her hands in mine as she knocked at the door, the area was full of slum clusters…..A woman came out to open the door. By her Gait, I was able to judge that she was blind! She asked me to squat as there was nothing to sit on... ,Inside that hut. The baby doll with her ice-cream now finished…looked at me and whispered in my ears, “They have the most precious stone, you would have never seen”. And I minced my lips and raised my eyebrows in appreciation! She took me inside and there I saw a “Grinding Stone&rdq

View poll In my teen age, I used to be like every other girl, changing nail paints to match my dress, bunking classes to catch a latest Movie, faking friend’s Birthday for late nights and spending hours in a parlor to look like a real hottie. Also shopping down through all my pocket money and still have nothing good to wear on parties…. And ONE NIGHT changed it all…………………. There was this discotheque cum Bar at the 36, Milestone, Gurgaon, where we hotties used to leave house for late at night. We used to leave home wearing just a pair of Jeans and T-shirt (but an item dress inside…I tell you…!) (You can’t change dress on the way right! And I was not allowed to wear such dresses by my family…so it was the best way out! Remove your jeans and shirt and join the party with the item- dress (door bitch will be impressed!) and wear it again over this dress to be safe at home…simple&hel

Eagles Quarterback Donovan McNabb, recovering from surgery on his right knee, will not play Monday when the Eagles open their preseason with a game in Baltimore against the Ravens. McNabb hasn’t played in a game since he tore a ligament against the Tennessee Titans on Nov. 19. <<<Hotwire>>> Nothing too surprising here. They’ve been saying they’re going to take it easy with McNabb during the pre-season. I would expect to see him briefly by the 3rd pre-season game.

Dolphins coach Cam Cameron said that the team did zero game planning and that he only had 40% of his offense installed so far and it was very apparent during Miami's pre-season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Dolphins won 18-17 but that was despite an offense that looked lethargic at best.Trent Green got the start but he struggled as he only completed 6 of his 15 pass attempts for 60 yards. Green took every snap of the first half but could only lead the offense to one field goal and as a result he got booed by the crowd."It's a crazy business," said Green, who added he didn't hear the jeers. "People can respond to different things. I don't take a lot of that too much to heart being that it's the first preseason game. That's why you play preseason games."It's just the first game of the pre-season so of course everyone's going to be rusty and that's why you have the find the little positives wherever you can.The goodRonnie Brown's back-up Jessie Chatman looked good

Amazingly, Cordy wanted to go to school today. Actually came up to me at home and said, "School?" and then rushed me to get everything together and get out the door. She really wanted to get there! That is, until we actually got there. Then she changed her mind and wailed as if I was leaving her with Britney Spears as a babysitter. Ah well, it's a little progress, right?While trying to say goodbye, one teacher pointed out her shirt was on inside out. Oops. I could blame it on her trying to dress herself, but they would only laugh at me, knowing she would sooner explain Einstein's theory of relativity than take any steps to put on her own clothing. No, mommy is clearly unable to pay attention to how she's dressing her child.Still, I'm impressed that she actually asked to go to school this morning, and even carried her backpack out to the car.We received a call from our county early intervention contact, letting us know that the school district has decided to move up her evaluation o
