The Final Score

I used to think that Asdrubal Cabrera was the best reason to listen to Cleveland Indians games on Sirius/XM.

Then I heard this commercial (Somewhat paraphrased, as I wasn't going to take notes while driving):

Kidney donors: The Cleveland Clinic now offers scar-free kidney removal through a minimally invasive procedure in which the kidney is removed through the navel without leaving a scar. Your innie becomes an outie."

And Grady Sizemore singles to right.

I'm not making this up.

Just for a day.

Billy Guerin of the champion Pittsburgh Penguins is bringing it here to his Long Island home so his kids and their friends can play with it. And then it goes away.

When will it come back?

Remember how Fred Funk didn't seem too pleased that fans at Bethpage's tenth tee made fun of his expletive-sounding last name? Yesterday he was at it again, talking about fans funk.. err... messing up his name at the Washington Post Sports Bog.

The most famous undergarment in women's sports was returned to its rightful owner Tuesday after months of legal maneuvering.

When the short-lived Sports Museum of America in New York City filed for bankruptcy this spring, the feds seized hundreds of items, including loaned memorabilia like Brandi Chastain's famous sports bra from the 1999 World Cup. Though she's not quite sure where her iconic sports bra has been the last couple of months, Chastain told USA Today in a text that she was thrilled when it arrived in the mail this week.

"It's arrived!!!!" Chastain wrote in a text message, attaching a picture of the bra seen 'round the world. "Here she is."

It takes more than a hot tennis game for women tennis players to score a center court match at Wimbledon. An official for the All England Club admitted in the Daily Mail that "looks are a factor" when it comes to deciding which women get to play on the center court.

For example, thanks to the babe factor, Maria Kirilenko of Russia (pictured in top photo) scored a center court match, despite her No. 58 ranking. Meanwhile, Svetlana Kuznetsova, who is ranked No. 5, did not make the center-court cut.
