“He told me my breath smelled, but I don’t know, I used Listerine before the game, so I don’t know what he’s talking about.” — Nashville’s P.K. Subban

Hey, P.K., what’s for dinner? Predators breathed life into their series with the Penguins as Mr. Subban breathed on Sidney Crosby all game. Pens’ superstar didn’t have a shot on goal and the combatants nearly came to blows over the alleged stench as they left the ice. Game 4 on Monday night. Some more garlic bread, Mr. Subban?

Glass was half-full Sunday. Dodgers ended their lost weekend in Milwaukee and took us down with them. Mustered all of three hits and got blanked 3-0. Tigers cut our losses though. Tie game in the ninth inning when Justin Upton launched a three-run homer and Detroit walked off 7-4 winners. Tight game as Justin Verlander walked off after two innings with a “tight right groin.”

Going this evening with Jeff Samardzija, who when last seen was rushing the field in a frenzy as the Giants and Nats were duking it out even though everyone’s breath was fresh. Strong month for Samardzija, if you toss his last start. 10 units on Frisco. Minimal drop Sunday. Account reads +2,426 scallions.
