Eckersley utters the magic word

My morsels for today:

MLB: Who said a Boston-New York baseball rivalry has to be Red Sox vs. Yankees? Mets pitcher Johan Santana got all hot and bothered Friday night after he hit the Red Sox’ Kevin Youkilis on the arm and Youkilis yelled, “That hurts!” at him. Well, it wasn’t quite what Youkilis yelled. He added another word, which was repeated by Red Sox broadcaster Dennis Eckersley on the NESN telecast, according to TheBostonChannel.com. Santana and Youkilis exchanged words, then cooler heads prevailed. As for Eckersley, he quickly channeled Saturday Night Live’s Rosanne Roseannadanna and said, “Never mind.”
MLB: After allowing 20 runs Thursday to the Minnesota Twins, Chicago White Sox pitchers haven’t given up a run. They shut out the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0 Friday night and 4-0 Saturday night. Clayton Richard, one of the guys who was supposed to be traded Thursday to the San Diego Padres for Jake Peavy, tossed six shutout innings Saturday and fanned eight. … St. Louis Cardinals pitchers also have rebounded from tough times. The Cardinals have won five in a row, outscoring their opponents 18-2. During the stretch, St. Louis starters have given up one run in 36 2/3 innings. While the Cardinals were being swept last weekend by the Milwaukee Brewers, their starters issued 23 walks in three games.

That’s all for now. See you later.
