Last night was painful, as the Orioles lost a game they should have won. It’s another loss, their fifth straight, and a blown save by George Sherrill. I figured this week was going to be a test for Baltimore, and alas, they have lost every game in the Blue Jays series by one run.They lost 6-5, as the Jays won in the bottom of the ninth. Yet, another fabulous effort by Jeremy Guthrie went by the

How come I never get to see these kinds of games??? Sure, I get to see the one run losses, or the nail biter Jonathan Papelbon-giving-up-hits-and-barely-squeaking-on-by stuff…But when there is a potential TRIPLE PLAY and 23 hits, it’s when I am not able at actually watch the festivities…. And this game had BOTH of these. I cannot [...]

This is a statement-making series. Plain and simple. We beat Kazmir with Pettittie, which nobody would have picked on paper.

Kit Stier/MLB.com:Darrell Rasner, unbowed by all of the chatter of potential young aces like Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy, knows he has been given a golden opportunity. The right-hander says he intends to do everything within his power not to let it slip away. Rasner, called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before Sunday's game to take the place of the injured Hughes, pitched seven strong innings in his season debut to help the Yankees cruise to an 8-2 victory over the Mariners before a sun-warmed crowd of 53,542 at Yankee Stadium. Rasner took the roster spot previously held by Kennedy, who was sent to Triple-A to work on his game.

By Request: Countering the Double Under Guard Pass- Sweep or Taking the Back Video(revver)(Sweep)Essentially, as the person who is passing your pass begins to stack you and pass your guard, you create space just for a second by extending your hips, and with that space, you can feed your knee under the near arm of the opponent.After that, you control him by the wrist/elbow and by the belt (no-Gi/mma option: hook high up on the near leg. Scissor your legs, sweep.(Taking the Back)Against a really good opponent, he may try to just scramble his way around you.Maintain the grip on the wrist, roll towards him.Switch to grabbing the opponent's near foot, and now you're in a good position to attempt taking the back.

The Texas Rangers historically are a team based on offense, as opposed to their pitching; Monday's game against the Boston Red Sox, unfortunately, proved that neither their offense nor pitching was effective - at least for this series, anyways - as David Ortiz' 3 RBIs led Boston to the series sweep of Texas 8-3 at Fenway Park. Boston was led by Julio Lugo with 4 hits - including a double while Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia and the aforementioned Ortiz had 2 hits each - with Ortiz driving in 3 runs and Pedroia 2. The win went to Clay Buchholz (1-1) as he pitched 6 innings, allowing 5 hits, walking 2 while striking out 6. Texas was led by Josh Hamilton and Gerald Laird - with Hamilton driving in 2 runs while Laird drove in a run; Michael Young and David Murphy had 2 hits each, as well. Dus

From: Three States Subjected To "Martial Law Sweeps"   Federal law enforcement agencies co-opted sheriffs offices as well state and local police forces in three states last weekend for a vast round up operation that one sheriff's deputy has described as "martial law training". Law-enforcement agencies in Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas took part in what was described by local media as "an anti-crime and anti-terrorism initiative" involving officers from more than 50 federal, state and local agencies. Given the military style name "Operation Sudden Impact", the initiative saw officers from six counties rounding up fugitives, conducting traffic checkpoints, climbing on boats on the Mississippi River and doing other "crime-abatement" programs all under the label of "anti

PENGUINS 3 SENATORS 1 Thankfully, the Pittsburgh Penguins finally put the Ottawa Senators out of their miserable existence with a series-ending, 3-1 victory on Canadian soil last night. It was another dominant performance by the young Pens, who outshot the Senators 34-22 despite just four shots in the third period. Of those 34 shots, Marian Hossa had nine of them, yet somehow managed to not score a goal. Despite his 0 goal, 0 assist performance, Hossa was awarded the third star, indicative of the strong all-around game that he played in Game Four. But the real story of the night was the amazing Jarkko Ruutu goal at 15:28 of the second period, one of the "jump out of your seat" variety. It put the Penguins ahead for good, and was later supplemented by a Sidney Crosby empty netter with eig

The Royals may have taken their home-opening series against New York, but the Yankees made sure it wasn't a sweep. In a game that was beset by stormy weather, Kansas City fell 6-1 at the K last night. It was a double by Jose Guillen in the first inning, scoring Mark Teahen, that gave the Royals their only mark. And it was an old nemesis who did them in -- pitcher Andy Pettitte. He went six-and-two-thirds innings, giving up five hits for New York. In his last nine starts against the Royals, he's got a 7-and-0 record. The Royals are still on top of the AL Central at 6-and-3.
