A LITTLE ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

***5 MINOR LEAGUERS SUSPENDED***
Yes, for testing positive for drugs. I wonder if Selig will allow them to "rehab" in the majors.

***LEFTCOASTSPORTSBABE.COM***
"Bud Selig recently said the Pittsburgh Pirates are “on the right track.” The Pirates are well on their way of their 17th consecutive losing season. It may be the right track, but it’s the wrong direction."

"When Padres’ fans were asking if the team should fire their hitting coach, the responses were equally divided. Half the fans said “Yes,” the others responded “We HAVE a hitting coach?”"

"From Jay Leno: "Manny Ramirez is being suspended for 50 games for taking a banned substance believed to be a woman's fertility drug. While some people are calling it a suspension, Manny's calling it maternity leave."

***WELL, OH YEAH?***
LA Sparks women's basketball coach, Mike Cooper, on the return of Candace Parker after giving birth in May. "Let's see Michael Jordan do that. The worst thing he had to do was play while fighting a cold. He's not half the woman Candace is." Hope not.

***YOU DO HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THE GAME, HOWEVER***
Dealing with the 2nd most important activity at a baseball game: The beer! In Boston, a 12oz beer will cost you $7.25, while in Pittsburgh, a 21oz beer costs $4.75. Which means you can get blitzed twice as fast for half the cost in Pittsburgh. And you need to.

***CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWEST YANKEE FAN***
Little Sawyer Stockslader (can't wait to see that on the back of a uniform) will be christened this weekend.

The 2nd half of the season starts for the Yanks tonight against Detroit. Looking forward to some more Michael Kay-isms, too.
