Manny the Devil?

Big rumors on ManRam via Peter Gammons indicating that the slugger will be placed on waiver following reinstatement from the disabled list.  Heavy interest will come from the Rays, putting Boston in the unenviable position of placing a waiver claim on the former Red Sock(?) just to keep him out of Tampa's lineup.  Gammons' described Manny calling the Tropicana Dome home for the stretch run to be Boston's "worst nightmare."  Worse than Manny returning to doggin' it for boos at Fenway?  Then make the claim, Theo.  Do it.

Whistle Stops

Jose Guillen to the Giants.

Shawn Merriman signs his tender and will report to Chargers camp.

There's a sea of fog in Wisconsin for the PGA Championship.  Plenty of rounds delayed.  Tiger scheduled to tee @ 6:45p.  Do not expect Woods or the field to finish Round 2 today.

Julian Edelman puts on a show for the Pats (6 grabs, 90 yds, and a dazzling punt return), as New England beats the Saints 27-24.

Phantastic Phillies comeback phuelled by Ben Francisco beating Casey Blake 5-hole.

Pretty Girl 08.13.10 - Lyndsy Fonseca

I for one would definitely f**k her brains out if I got the chance.  It's a quote, kids.  Look it up.
Carlos Carrasco tonight in Syracuse: 6IP, 3H, 1ER, 8K, but the Clips lose in 13 to the Chiefs.  The series against Louisville becomes all important for 1st place.  I almost typed it with a straight face.  In all seriousness, Carrasco appears healthy and pitching well.  He should get the next available start for the Tribe.
