Case of the Mondays: Yanks movin’ on up

July 17th, 2006 | Posted by PostmanR

Baseball:

The Yankees swept the White Sox this weekend, moving them within a half-game of the AL East-leading Boston Red Sox. It was the first time the White Sox were swept all season. Mariano Rivera picked up the 400th save of his career Sunday, becoming the fourth-ever pitcher to do so. He’s 36 years old, which has to be a lie. He’s at least 50. Four other clubs also enjoyed a weekend sweep.

Not a single save was recorded on Saturday in the MLB, for the first time in almost 28 years. Six pitchers blew saves. Awesome work, guys.

NFL:

Cowboys safety Keith Davis was shot early Sunday morning on a Texas highway during a drive-by shooting. His condition is currently listed as stable. Here’s to a speedy recovery.

Barbaro Death Watch:

Things still aren’t looking so good for the winner of the Kentucky Derby. Pray for Barbaro, everybody.

Soccer:

Another Zidane video for your enjoyment. Fidel Castro is in this one!

Sightings :

One of our buddies saw Bulls coach Scott Skiles at Nick’s English Hut over the weekend. Apparently, Scottie got worked over in “sink the biz.”
