HaHaHa! Sure, the MTV Video Music Awards were simulcast on Comedy Central on Sunday night. It’s a joke. But why wasn’t Fox NFL Sunday’s pregame gigglefest simulcast on Comedy Central on Sunday afternoon? HaHaHaHa!

The Marlins play the Nationals, and I haven’t been this excited since Papa John’s started making Shaq-a-Roni pizzas again. Miami’s Sandy Alcantara owned the Mets (one run, four hits, nine innings) in his latest outing. The Nats’ Paolo Espino comes off a futile five-run, five-frame failure with the Braves. Playing 10 units on Miami.

Wow! That’s not supposed to happen. The Tigers defeated the Rays, 8-7 in 11 innings. Tampa took a 5-2 lead in the eighth inning, but Detroit answered with three in the bottom half. The Rays scored twice in the 10th, only to have Jeimer Candelario hit a two-run homer to knot the score again. Robbie Grossman’s walk-off walk, the game winner. Unlikely ‘W’ has us at -588 chetlemons.
