If you see the score 30-3, what do you think? Football, right?
Today, this was the score of the baseball game where the Texas Rangers (!) put the smackdown on the Baltimore Orioles. Peep this crazy shit:

It’s too bad the Rangers (55-70) couldn’t save up some of these runs to use when they need them.

In brief:
- Red-hot Joey Gathright of the Kansas City Royals singled off Bobby Jenks tonight, breaking Bobby’s streak of consecutive batters retired. Gathright would have been the 42nd consecutive batter retired by Jenks, which would have been an all-time MLB record. Oh well, at least the White Sox won, ending their 8-game losing streak.
- Rookie Bears running back Garrett Wolfe got some minutes in tonight’s preseason victory over the Colts, his first NFL game action. Little number 25 rushed for 15 yards; unfortunately, I couldn’t see all of his carries because the dumbass ESPN reporters spent more time interviewing Peyton Manning than showing the actual game. Brian Griese looked good.
- The Broncos traded Gerard Warren to the Raiders, for a fifth-round draft pick that the Broncos will get only if Warren makes the roster. How this was a good move is beyond me. After Sunday’s fiasco and with Ebenezer Ekuban out for the season (did you know he’s from Ghana?), it’s time to call this what it is — a rebuilding year. The Broncos will end up in second place in the AFC West, ahead of bottom-feeding Oakland and dismal Kansas City.
- Why do Rockies games go 900 innings lately?

If Wesley Willis were alive today, I’m pretty sure he’d write a song about Bobby Cox being ejected from a game for the 132nd time (a new record).

Bobby Cox has a hot temper
he’ll kick your ass and get tossed from the game
his face gets red like fire
he is special to me in the long run
Cantankerous Cox

He’s been a madman on the field 132 times
his record isn’t tainted or marked with an asterisk
he never used performance-enhancing drugs
Bobby Cox whips Barry Bonds’s ass with a belt

Maybe next time he’ll do the army crawl grenade thing
like that crazy-ass minor league guy
he’ll argue balls and strikes
and the umpire will feel the power of Bobby Cox
Cantankerous Cox

Cantankerous Cox
He’s in the Hall of Fame of coach meltdowns
He makes Bobby Knight look like a delicate flower
Who would win in a fight, Bobby Cox or Ditka?
Well, Ditka, but Bobby could take anyone else

AP/Nam Y. Huh
Bobby Jenks retired three more batters today. He has retired 41 consecutive batters, tying the MLB record. Bobby’s awesome pitching is one of very few good things going on with the White Sox these days.

One of my favorite things in the world is some good, old-fashioned Bobby Jenks ass kicking. As of tonight, he has retired 38 consecutive batters, tying the AL record for consecutive batters retired held by newly unemployed David Wells. Jim Barr (Giants) holds the all-time record, with 41 consecutive batters retired.
In other White Sox news, the Cubs reportedly have claimed Scott Podsednik off waivers. WTF.
