Tyler Hanbrough announced that he will remain at UNC so he can play out his full 4 years of collegiate basketball. Why? Two reasons he should go to the Association. 1, his stock will never be any higher than right now. 2, his boys Ellington and Lawson are out. Guess Tyler likes getting no calls and falling short of the NCAA Finals. To each his own.

The fundraising event that benefits Oakland inner city youth baseball will feature a 1 p.m. game between Aptos and Santa Cruz, a 4 p.m. matchup between Casa Grande and Alameda and a 7 p.m. contest between St. Mary's-Stockton and De La Salle.

Kids ages 14-and-under are free and adult tickets are $10 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 09:37:27 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/259400 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/259400 No link here. Just watching the Padres/Giants game, and something loco just took place (or is taking place, your choice). Greg Maddox himself, the GOD of pitching, is in to pinch run for Tony Clark.

Not that I could run in the NFL, let alone be a RB, but there will forever be ill thoughts in regards to Alexander. Since he won the MVP two years ago and hooked up a $62 million contract, the back ran soft, flopped in holes and failed to find the end zone.

Probably not but the kid did win the Mid-Pacific Open, his first professional tourney. The 17 year old shot 10 under.

The lucky player to get his name in the Hall for striking out, Felipe Lopez. Smolts becomes the 16th pitcher to reach 3,000 ks.

And he is...Mark Sanchez.

On the real, he is set to fight Joe Calzaghe at the Planet Hollywood in Vegas on April 19.

I know it is early, but with Lackey and Escobar being out, it is nice to see the Angels bats carry the team. We know that was not the staus quo from last year.

Oh, he left the application. Idiot.

This deal could work out to be in the area of $48 million. What does this mean for CC Sabathia. Sabathia is a free agent next year and turned down an offer by the club in the spring. he would look great in an Angels uniform.

His reasoning, "Home called," "And we love home. But this is home now." What? Lets give him a few more days here. We can all name a few coaches who have said one thing and done another, right?

The re-signed ancient NFL QB Gus Frerotte to back up Tarvaris Jackson as he once did for Dante Culpepper.
