Where is Instant Replay?! Referring back to my post from yesterday, yet another home run was incorrectly called when Cleveland Indians OF Ben Francisco hit a four-bagger off of a railing above the outfield wall. Is this starting to add up or what? Stop stalling, MLB!
Back from Cancer: Arizona Diamondbacks P Doug Davis returned from thyroid cancer surgery on April 10 to pitch seven innings of five-hit ball with only one earned run. Nice story, but let’s hope he can do better than a 13-12 record this season.
Mr. Two-Face: San Diego Padres P Chris Young was struck in the face with a returned line drive and is suffering facial bruising and a small fracture. He’ll be out of action for two weeks. Houston Astros P Jose Valverde met the same fate during his save opportunity on Friday, however the pitcher was able to deflect the ball enough with his glove to prevent damage—he stayed in and got the save.
Bye Bye Grant: Chelsea FC fired manager Avram Grant on Saturday, three days after the Blues lost the Champions League final to Manchester United. Grant took the Blues to a 2nd place finish in both the Premier and Champions Leagues; however the team’s “boring style and key loss to Tottingham” were blamed. I personally didn’t find Chelsea’s play at all boring, especially because Grant didn’t have the squad for a full year. A little premature in this case.
Zito Wins! Congratulations. It looks like that seven-year, $126 million contract is paying off.
