What SPORTS did you watch today?

Yeah, that's who it is.

About the most exciting thing he talked about was the Tony La Russa booth invasion a couple nights ago. Apparently Brown said something on the air about La Russa being a proponent of "payback" pitches and Tony didn't like it. He stormed into the Pirates booth and the two went out of the range of the mics and argued about it. Brown said he wasn't going to make a story about it but then La Russa went public in the AZ papers so he decided to address it.

How the hell did I miss that ? I heard Brown saying that about La Russa but totally missed the back end of that. Hilarious!

Amazing. Still have no idea how I missed that.

It all just really blew up today during the telecast of the Pirates game. Brown said he was trying to keep the whole thing under wraps but after reading La Russa's comments this morning Brown said he felt he had to defend himself.

For what it's worth, I put the blame on La Russa. There's just no excuse for charging into the opposing team's announcing booth just because you're pissed off about something somebody there said; take it up with them after the game if you want. That's just juvenile behavior; something that wasn't necessarily all that rare during his tenure as the Cardinals' manager.

Unless he was listening to Brown's telecast and thought the guy might have been drifting off to sleep and was trying to save him. I know that's what I thought several times while listening to the broadcast today.

Watched the Penguins finish off the Lightning 2-1 and head to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in 7 years.

Today I watched a wild game between Boston and Toronto.  The Jays finally won it 10-9 in the bottom of the 9th after trailing 8-4 in the 8th.

Now I'm watching the Rays clobber the Yankees.

Watched the Dodgers beat the Mets last night.

Watched the Cardinals lose to the Nats. The final was 10-2 but it was 3-2 until the 7th inning when Fatboy Broxton came in.

Watching the Dodgers and Mets again. LA just took a 1-0 lead.

Today I watched the Cardinals shut out the Brewers 6-0. Nice start by Carlos Martinez (finally) and Holliday hit a 467ft bomb.

Yesterday I watched the Penguins defeat the Sharks 3-2 in the first game of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Watching the Dodgers and Cubs.

Watched the Pirates lose to the Marlins 3-1. Polanco missed a go ahead grand slam in the top of the ninth by about 10 feet.

Watched the Penguins beat the Sharks 2-1 in overtime to take a 2 game to none lead in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Watched the Dodgers lose to the Cubs last night 2 to 1.

Watched the Pirates anemic offense come to life a little bit but it wasn't enough, losing 4-3 in 12 innings.

Getting ready to watch the Braves and Dodgers

Wow. I'm watching MLB Network and the Pirates are trying like hell to give this game back to the Angels.

It was 8-3 but now in the 8th it's 8-7

Watched disc 1 of 4 of ringside Muhammad Ali. I'll be watching number two later probably.

Watched the Penguins beat the Sharks 3-1 to take a 3-1 lead over the Sharks in the Stanley Cup finals.

Watched the Pirates sweep a double header from the Mets, winning both games 3-1.

Watched the Pirates vs Mets game. It was Jameson Taillon's major league debut. He pitched okay, leaving the game mid-way through with a 3-3 tie. Unfortunately, the Pirates bullpen blew the game, not once, but twice and the Pirates lost 6-5 in 10 innings.

I watched the Cards pound out 4 homers in beating the Reds 12-7.  That's the 10th time this year that STL has scored 12+ runs; they only did it twice all of last year.

Watched the Pirates play the Rockies in a make up game yesterday where Jeff Locke pitched like Jeff Locke and the Pirates ended up losing 11-5.

I then watched the Pens play the Sharks in game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The Sharks came up blazing and took the game 4-2, forcing game six in San Jose on Sunday.
