| Twins’ Carl Pavano Tames Tigers Through 5 Innings; Tigers Lead 4-0 Posted: 11 Jul 2010 12:32 PM PDT Detroit, MI, US – Minnesota right-hander Carl Pavano has allowed only one hit and one baserunner in five innings of work Sunday to lead the Twins to a 4-0 advantage over the Tigers at Comerica Park. Pavano retired the first 13 batters before Detroit outfielder Brennan Boesch beat out an infield hit with one out in the fifth inning. But Pavano, who has four strikeouts, got Carlos Guillen to bounce into an inning-ending double play. Pavano, who appears to be getting better with age, entered the game with a 9-6 record and 3.58 ERA. The Twins tagged Detroit rookie starter Andy Oliver in the first inning for two runs. Oliver walked the first two batters, Denard Span and Orlando Hudson, who were both singled home by Jim Thome. Oliver used the defensive talents of Tiger shortstop Ramon Santiago to avoid further damage in the third. With runners on second and third and no outs, Santiago made a backhand spear of a line shot off Thome’s bat. With the bases loaded, he scooped up Jason Kubel’s grounder up the middle and made the backhand flip to second base to start an inning-ending double play. Oliver left after 4 2-3 innings, giving way to reliever Eddie Bonine, who allowed a two-run double to his first batter, Michael Cuddyer. Minnesota entered the game at 45-42, four games behind the Tigers, who lead the Chicago White Sox by half a game for the American League Central Division lead. The Tigers are at 48-37 after winning the first two games of the series against Minnesota. |
| Bob Sheppard, Yankee announcer, died at the age of 99 Posted: 11 Jul 2010 12:11 PM PDT 
Baldwin, NY, US – All-time renowned Yankee announcer Bob Sheppard passed away Sunday at the age of 99 years. Sheppard worked as a public address announcer for Yankees from 1951-2007, the New York Giants (1956-2006) and his alma mater St John's covering basketball and football through the early 90's. Through his decades of announcing Yankees' games, the wordsmith called out some of the best names of the game, including the opposition-a total of eight Hall of Famers and future inductees as well. Sheppard announced Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Johnny Mize, Yogi Berra, and Phil Rizzuto and their opponents, including Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, and Lou Boudreau during his career. In modern Yankee days, Sheppard has seen stars like Mariano Rivera, Don Mattingly, Paul O’Neill and Derek Jeter, to name a few. Before he started his career at the microphone, Sheppard was a star athlete himself and was inducted into the St. John's University Sports Hall of Fame after earning seven varsity letters from 1928 to 1932. He earned three letters in baseball as a starting first baseman, and four in football as a quarterback. Although his voice will be remembered by many, Sheppard considered his term as a speech professor at St. John's the most important achievement in his career. Mickey Mantle, one Sheppard’s biggest fans once remarked that: "Every time Bob Sheppard introduced me at Yankee Stadium, I got shivers up my spine." In that respect, the ‘Mick wasn’t alone. |

Vick was cleared of criminal activity after a shooting occurred at a nightclub during his Virginia Beach birthday bash on Jun. 25.

Vick is on probation for his 2007 federal conviction on a federal dogfighting crime, although he was cleared from any involvement in the shooting, probation officials have not indicated if probation was violated. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who reinstated Vick last season, is reportedly reviewing whether Vick violated the terms of his reinstatement. |
| Scottish Open: Edoardo Molinari Wins straightforwardly; Tops Darren Clarke By 3 Shots Posted: 11 Jul 2010 12:00 PM PDT 
But Clarke stumbled early and made it an easy day for Molinari at the Loch Lomond resort. The players were greeted by tamer conditions for the final 18 holes. The rains had cleared, the sun peeked out at times and the winds weren’t strong enough to worry about. Clarke got off to a miserable start with a bogey at the second hole, then a double at the par five third, followed by another bogey at the fifth. He shot a costly 40 on the front nine and paved the way for a stressless round for the Italian star. Molinari was far from the birdie machine he was on Saturday. He shot a three-over par 74 that featured only two birdies, well off his third round 63. Clarke and Molinari distanced themselves from the field. Raphael Jacqueline of France finished four shots behind the winner and took solo third at eight-under par 276. John Daly, who played well for three days, had a miserable final round. He shot 77, finished two-over and in a tie for 26th. |
