Mitch Talbot is now the 4th Indians starter with 10 losses.  His roster spot was opened via optioning Jess Todd to Columbus.  The Clippers placed Jeremy Sowers on the DL to fit in Todd.

Also, Pronk back from the DL (imagine me doing the most sarcastic happy dance possible) and Jordan Brown demoted.  What's the difference between Hafner on and off the DL?  I surely cannot tell.  He is the poster child for contract buyout clauses.

I don't know if she's Rizzuli or Iggles, but she sure is the hot one.

Back to reality

Poor-ous defense.  The rooks look like rooks, the pass rush is as inept as ever (hmmm, way to solve that one in the offseason, Mike), and it seems as if there is never anyone in the middle of the field.  Granted, Aaron Rodgers is one hell of a QB, but that was just too easy.

Okay, maybe that.

What's the sco... How did we... Wait, are these really the Browns?

Big plays by Rubin and Sheldon Brown.  And I dig Wallace's escapability.  But, did he really go to Robiskie thrice?

Could we ask for anything more?

11 plays, 80 yards, 5:56... touchdown.

Delhomme sharp, 5/6.  3 grabs for Massaquoi.  Harrison the score on 1st and goal from the 4.

Best Browns drive I've seen in awhile.

Pretty Girl 08.14.10 - Danneel Harris

You expected me to pick just one?  Lay back and enjoy.

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.

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.
