Hondo, who struggled in the divisionals, regained his winning ways in the NLCS opener last night when he connected with the Phillies to increase the chunky wad to 525 petrocellis.

Tonight, let’s go to the Trop! With the one and only Jimmy Shields dueling Dice-K in the ALCS opener, he’ll pepper the Rays with 10 units. Also, he’ll drop 10 on Tampa over the Sawx in the series.

Cowboy playmaker/troublemaker Pacman Jones’ latest scrape with the law, stemming from a Tuesday night brawl with his bodyguard, left many around the league in shock. Not that he was in trouble, but that it happened at an upscale hotel, not a strip club.
