New York Mets (65-68) at Atlanta Braves (78-55) 7:10 pm
Johan Santana (10-9 3.02) vs Tim Hudson (15-5 2.24)
TV: SNY Radio: WFAN
What to watch: Under other circumstances this would be a great pitching matchup. But the Mets are trying to avoid an embarrassing sweep in Atlanta. Santana has been pitching pretty well but lost his last three starts. The Braves have won seven of the last eight games that Hudson started. …
Ah, the rare Thursday off-night, when there is actually worthwhile television programming (to quote the overrated 20th century philosopher Garfield, Mondays blow).
7:30 pm EDT NCAA FB Florida A&M at Miami (ESPN3.com): This is what Ted and I will be watching, as it is all about the U.
8 pm EDT Tosh.0 (Comedy Central): Back to back episodes. This show doesn’t quite make the level of appointment television, but I always …
Behind yet another phenomenal performance from CC, the Yanks beat the A’s 5-0 to sweep the four-game set and notch their fifth straight victory. It was the Yanks’ first four-game sweep of Oakland at home since 1985.
The Good:
On the ninth anniversary of Mike Mussina’s near perfect game against Boston, CC (19-5) went eight innings and gave up just one hit with five strikeouts to three walks. The A’s failed to …
The weather wasn’t the only thing red hot at Yankee Stadium today as CC Sabathia picked up his 6th consecutive start and his 19th of the season as he one-hit the Oakland Athletics during the Yankees 5-0 win this afternoon.
Curtis Granderson also had a big day picking up a pair of home runs including one off a lefty.

A golden sombrero is awarded to a player who manages to strike out four times in a single game (real golden sombrero not included). It’s quite the feat unless you’re Ryan Howard or Mark Reynolds. Unfortunately, cycles and no-hitters are all the rage nowadays. Not for me, though. I will pour over the box scores to bring you the finest at swinging and missing.
In honor of Brad Hawpe’s first Golden …

Nick Swisher left today’s game after the first inning with stiffness in his left knee, according to the Yankees. Jack Curry first reported it, referencing the injury as a follow-up from when he fouled a ball off his knee in Toronto.
He’s day-to-day, and Curtis Granderson replaced him in the lineup.
I suspect Swish will sit out tomorrow and then maybe return Saturday. Today …
The Mets end their four game set with the Braves tonight as they still look to avoid the sweep. Johan Santana will take the mound for the Amazins who need some positive starting pitching (and some offense, but whatever). In his last outing he pitched 7 innings while allowing 4 ER in an losing effort. He is 1-1 this year against the Braves in three games with 21.0 innings logged …
