I guess she was just playing games with him.

I heard he tore his knee when his manager tackled him trying to restrain him from the umpire. I wonder if there will be any repercussions from that?

Chuck, I like your list. I was able to go to PNC Park in Pittsburgh this summer with a couple of friends, and was impressed with the park. It's in a nice part of downtown, and the view is excellent, both inside and outside the park. We did the stadium tour before one game, and for the other we parked across the river and took the ferry right to the park - nice touch. Side note to the game - it was Adam LaRoche bobblehead night, and the bobblehead was sponsored by LaRoche College (no relation).

We're debating making it to NYC next year for the last year of Yankee Stadium. (I'm assuming tickets will probably be easy to get? After all, no one goes there anymore because it's too crowded.)

It was Mike Winters (the umpires) fault.

"It's terrible. And now, because of him, my knee's hurt," Bradley said Sunday. "If this costs me my season because of that, he needs to be reprimanded. I'm taking some action. I'm not going to stand pat and accept this."

I cracked up when I heard him say that. Regardless of what Winters may or may not have said, I love that he's blaming his own over-reaction on the evil umpire.

Of course not, he's got a blown ACL.
