Fightnews.com reports that yesterday the "Nevada State Athletic Commission heard arguments on the merits of mandatory blood testing from United States Anti-Doping Agency." Considering the physical dangers boxers face each time they enter the ring, mandatory blood testing for PEDs is a no-brainer...

Yankees ace C.C. Sabathia is off. He has six wins this season, but four of them are against the bumbling Baltimore Orioles. Against the rest of the league, he is 2-3 with an ERA of 4.69. What is most glaring about Sabathia is his inability to spot his fastball, which has resulted in him throwing a greater number of pitches per batter. He is consistently reaching full counts before he retires hitters--if he retires them. It's still early, but if Sabathia doesn't solve his control problems he could find himself with a tired arm come September...

If Job were alive today he'd be a Cubs fan. Last night the Chicago Blackhawks won their first Stanley Cup since 1961, defeating the Philadelphia Flyers in six games. So now the Cubs are the only Chicago franchise that has not won a title in the past 25 years. The Bears won the Super Bowl in January 1986; the Bulls won six championships during the 1990's; and the White Sox won the World Series in 2005. Alas, poor Cubbies!!...

Did someone forget to remind the Red Sox they had a game yesterday?

The Rays are back on track. Last night they hammered the Blue Jays 10-1. It was the Jays fourth consecutive loss...

Mike "Merlin" Scioscia has waved his magic wand again and his players have responded. The Angels have won eight of their last 10 games and sit only 1/2 game out of first place...

The San Francisco Giants have the fourth lowest ERA in baseball, but are 25th in runs scored. Perhaps the Yankees or Red Sox could lend them a few runs...

Seattle Mariners ownership should do their fans a favor and end the season today. That team is an embarrassment considering its talent. 13 games under.500. Pathetic...

If the Yankees continue to play teams like the Orioles and Indians, Robinson Cano will be the first hitter since Ted Williams to bat.400...

The Oakland Raiders were forced to cancel the last two OTAs (Organized Team Activities) after allegedly "exceeding the amount of contact allowed under official rules".

When Celtics SF Paul Pierce predicted that the NBA Finals would not return to Los Angeles, maybe he meant that the Lakers would sweep all three games in Boston...

If that toddler was drinking beer at the Phillies-Padres game over the weekend, he should have saved it for last night's Flyers Stanley Cup-eliminating loss to the Blackhawks...

I have no interest in the World Cup or in the U.S. Soccer Team, and I suspect that most American sports fans feel similarly...

How ridiculous has NY's wooing of LeBron James become? James Gandolfini, aka Tony Soprano, asked James to come to NY while presenting a trophy at the "Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards"... Although Gandolfini did have a funny line for LeBron. "If you miss Cleveland, you just have to drive across the bridge to New Jersey, it's pretty much the same thing"...

Years ago I watched Howard Stern's short-lived television program for one reason: Stuttering John. I used to laugh at his impromptu interviews with unsuspecting celebrities. For ex., John once asked the Dalai Lama if people ever greeted him by saying, "Hello Dolly." ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel has his own "Stuttering John," and his name is Guillermo. Guillermo is a Mexican security guard who is also very funny. SI.com's "Extra Mustard" links to a clip of Guillermo at NBA finals Media Day, asking Lakers and Celtics players about the film "Sex and the City 2". It is hilarious...
