6) I grant you, Juan Francisco homered against Texas on Sunday, but he also committed two errors at third base while Brett Lawrie committed one at second base. I promise I wont hammer away at this every week, but shouldnt Lawrie be the Blue Jays everyday third baseman? (Ill revisit this next week).7) Would the Los Angeles Kings players laugh at coach Darryl Sutter if he told them that game two against Chicago was a "must win" game?8) Mike Weir lost by two strokes at the Byron Nelson and missed two four-foot putts on consecutive holes during Saturdays third round. Its not as simple as saying that Weir should have been in a playoff with Brendon Todd, but can we not agree that we could have made those putts?9) Tony LaRussa is in charge of the Arizona Diamondbacks as their "Chief BASEBALL Officer". This title was chosen why—to avoid confusion?10) This is 2014. Qatar is scheduled to host soccers World Cup in 2022. Do you worry about anything else that may or may not happen eight years from now?11) If there was nothing wrong with Sidney Crosby, I still want to know what was wrong with Sidney Crosby, dont you?12) If the Indiana Pacers win the NBA title, or if they make the NBA Finals, will NBA analysts who called the Pacers the most dysfunctional team ever known stop being NBA analysts?13) Thomas Vanek will soon be in the news when the New York Islanders decide which year, this or next, their first-round draft pick will revert to the Buffalo Sabres as part of the payment for Vanek. Meanwhile, shouldnt Vanek be making news now, as a member of the Montreal Canadiens? Or is being invisible newsworthy?14) Speaking of the Buffalo Sabres, if the next NHL season begins with them looking for a goalie and Ryan Miller looking for a team….should I continue?15) When the Cleveland Browns say that Johnny Manziel did not display a "diva-style" personality at their rookie minicamp, do you want to say "Hey, Cleveland Browns, it was only rookie minicamp"?16) Do you believe that good spring training results lead to good regular-season results? If so, you should offer as proof Melky Cabreras MLB-leading 30 spring hits, and his current regular-season total of 58, #2 in the majors. You should not refer to the spring-best RBI total of Kansas Citys Mike Moustakas. He knocked in 18 runs in 56 exhibition at-bats, and he has followed with 17 RBI in 121 regular-season at-bats, and a .153 batting average.17) I dont want to gang up on umpires, but wouldnt it be funny to hear one say that the 50 per cent of his calls that were upheld by video review were the ones he thought he had blown?18) Is Mark Jackson an NBA coach who sometimes broadcasts NBA games, or is he an NBA broadcaster who sometimes coaches NBA games?19) Are you a Blue Jays fan who longs to see a perplexed John Farrell in the dugout of the Boston Red Sox? You should have been watching the DET-BOS weekend series, or maybe youll get another chance this week. Its up to the Jays, because the Red Sox are doing their best to play their worst.20) And finally…..the thing Ive learned about this story of California Chrome and breathing strips is that breathing strips still exist. Remember when they were all the rage for humans? Is it only horses that wear them now? Steven Matz Jersey .

In addition to what he reported in Insider Trading, TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun wrote on ESPN. PITTSBURGH -- The Nationals stuck with their ace. The Pirates made them pay. Josh Harrison had a tiebreaking, two-out single two batters after Jose Tabata hit a sacrifice fly off of Stephen Strasburg in the seventh inning, and Pittsburgh handed Washington its fourth straight defeat, 3-2 Saturday night. Strasburg, who struck out 14 in a memorable major league debut against the Pirates almost four years ago, did not allow a hit Saturday until Walkers homer to centre with one out in the fourth. Pittsburgh managed just three more singles off Strasburg until the seventh, when Russell Martin led off with a single and went to third on a one-out double by Starling Marte before scoring on the sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter Tabata. "(Strasburg) pitched very well," Washington manager Matt Williams said. "Of course, they got to him in that last inning but I want to give him a chance to get out of there with a tie game. He was still strong. Hes our ace, hes deserves a chance to get out of it and it didnt work out." Gerrit Cole left after six innings trailing by a run while facing Strasburg in the first matchup in the NL of No. 1 overall draft picks in nine years. Cole -- the top pick of the 2011 draft, two years after Strasburg went first -- allowed two runs on five hits with seven strikeouts. Strasburg (3-4) allowed three runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts in seven innings. Strasburg insisted he wasnt losing his stuff as he crossed the 100-pitch plateau in the seventh. "My command was still pretty good," he said. "I got a pitch in on Martin and he dumped it into the outfield. I tried to pitch around a couple of guys. The pitch that killed me was the hanging curveball to Marte. That really set up the inning for them." Of the Harrison at-bat, Strasburg said: "Hes the type of hitter whos going to put the ball in play and he put it in the right place." Harrison followed pinch-hitter Travis Snider, whom the Nationals intentionally walked after Strasburg fell behind 2-0. "I was pretty much telling myself, I feel like Im seeing everything hes throwing," Harrrison said of his seventh-inning at bat against Stephen Strasburg.dddddddddddd "I was just looking to barrel something up." Neil Walker hit his 10th home run for the Pirates, who tied their season-best winning streak of four. Jered Hughes (3-1), Jeanmar Gomez and Mark Melancon each worked a perfect inning of relief for Pittsburgh. Melancon picked up his ninth save when he finished the Pirates majors-best 14th one-run victory. Ian Desmond hit his ninth homer for Washington (24-25), which has lost six of eight and fell under .500 for the first time this season. "Its tough -- were all trying very hard, trying to get back on track," Strasburg said. "I do think weve probably reached the point where were trying too hard and need to take a step back and let the game come to us." The bullpen backed up Cole, who allowed 10 baserunners and threw 112 pitches in six innings, retiring the side in order only once. Still, Pittsburgh won for the fourth time in five May starts by Cole. Wilson Ramos sawed-off, bloop single in the sixth scored Anthony Rendon to give the Nationals a 2-1 lead. Greg Dobbs went 2 for 4 for the Nationals. NOTES: The Mets Kris Benson (the No. 1 pick of the 1996 draft) faced Cincinnatis Paul Wilson (No. 1 overall in 1994) on May 16, 2005 -- the most recent occurrence of top picks facing each other in the NL. It happened in the American League two years ago (Kansas Citys Luke Hochevar vs. Tampa Bays David Price on Aug. 21, 2012). . 1B Adam LaRoche joined the Nationals in Pittsburgh and will be activated for Sundays game. Infielder Zach Walters was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse after Saturdays game to make room for LaRoche, who has been on the disabled list since May 10 because of a right quad strain. ... SS Desmonds homer gives the Nationals 17 this season from their middle infielders, most in the majors. . The four-game series wraps up Sunday when Washington RHP Doug Fister (1-1, 3.93) faces Pirates LHP Francisco Liriano (0-4, 4.86). Despite his record, Pittsburgh has won five of Lirianos past six starts.
