Chris Henry arrested, sun rises in east, Nighty Cap

• Jeter has earned a monument at new Yankee Stadium.

Additionally, Supermodels around the world are collecting money (from their food allowance) to have Derek's dick bronzed and placed in the fashion district.


• From the Library of Congress here is Branch Rickey's scouting report on Don Drysdale. It is also a reminder about how much typewriters sucked.


• It could not be an complete football off-season without a Chris Henry arrest. Tuesday Pedro goes down, yesterday Chris Henry gets arrested, what next another Rocky film?

Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry is in trouble again, accused by an 18-year-old man who told police that Henry hit him in the face and broke his car window with a beer bottle.


• Break up the Naionals. Undefeated. Tim Redding took a one-hitter into the eighth inning and Ryan Zimmerman hit a solo homer to help the Nationals stay unbeaten with a 1-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night.

Tim Fucking Redding. The Phillies should be hanging their heads in shame. Redding doesn't even start for Tim Redding's fantasy team.


• Memphis senior reserve guard Andre Allen has been suspended for violating team rules, leaving him out of the Final Four. What did he do? Turn down money from a booster? Not polish coaches car perfectly. Suspended from Memphis? You have to be Chris Henry-like to accomplish that.


• Sweet Lou. The kid from Tampa just likes to tinker with things. Cubs manager Lou Piniella's lack of patience is well known.

But Derrek Lee had to laugh out loud when he found out after Wednesday's 8-2 loss to Milwaukee that Alfonso Soriano was heading back to the leadoff spot only two games into the season.

"It's surprising a little bit, but I guess it shouldn't [be]," Lee said. "Lou likes to shuffle it around."


• LETS PLAY TWO. or LET'S PLAY TWO. The second one is correct, but that didn't stop a sculptor from placng the first one on Ernie Banks bronze statue. And now for the next 100 years let it be known as the curse of the apostrophe.


• Sometimes it seems as though baseball players are stealing money when they get their paychecks. Yes, Mr Pavano I am talking about you. But when was the last time you heard about a player wanting to give back his check for being the black hole of suck?

We would have to go back 30 years and the player would be named Lyman Bostock.

He started the year 2-for-39 and announced that he wanted to give back his paychecks to the Angels -- give them personally to owner Gene Autry -- until he started to produce.

Autry refused, so Bostock gave his first two checks to charity. This covered the month of April, when he batted .147.


• I have heard that repeated steroid usage can make your nuts much smaller. To prove this theory Major League Baseball investigators cornered Jose Canseco on Wednesday -- in a bathroom. That's Bud's boys, all class.

In January 2003, a group of sports-loving friends launched The Sports Frog. In the time since, we have become an oasis for intelligent sports discussion on the Web. That's right, we said oasis. If you are here for the first time be sure to swing by The Swamp and join the conversation.
