Games of the weak.
Let’s see, who was on the the Fox MLB Game of the Week this Saturday? And who’s on the ESPN Sunday Night Game of the Week? Red Sox-Yankees. I am shocked, shocked….
The Giants’ Miguel Tejada, hitting just under .200, and about .150 with runners in scoring position, had a bat fly out of his hands and land in the stands at Wrigley Field Saturday. Pretty valuable souvenir. As the bat was basically unused.

The Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Boston Bruins in game one of the NHL Eastern Conference finals.
