Guess we\u2019ll start this sleepy day of news with Matt Garza\u2019s story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MLB news: Matt Garza throws no-hitter; Joe Mauer explodes; bad luck for Haren, Coghlan<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24359\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24359\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-24359 \" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #e7e7e7;\" title=\"matt-garza\" src=\"http:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/matt-garza-e1280240313737-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24359\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Matt Garza Throws A No-Hitter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So I\u2019m exaggerating how boring last night was in baseball. It was actually quite a wild one. But these no-hitters are becoming absurd.<\/p>\n<p>Tampa\u2019s Matt Garza became the fifth man to throw a no-no this season, facing the minimum 27 batters in a 5-0 win over Detroit. He walked one and struck out six in what was the first no-hitter in Rays franchise history.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Mauer had a legendary night of his own for the Minnesota Twins. The Reigning American League MVP finally showed that form again last night, going five for five with seven RBI.<\/p>\n<p>Dan Haren wasn\u2019t so lucky. Not only did he take the loss after allowing seven hits and two runs in 4.2 innings (with eight strikeouts), he left the game early after being hit by a line drive \u2013 on his throwing arm.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019ll probably have an X-Ray today to find out if anything is broken.<\/p>\n<p>And Haren\u2019s injury wasn\u2019t even the strangest of the night. Florida\u2019s Chris Coghlan was injured last night while celebrating Wes Helms\u2019 walkoff home run against Atlanta. Coghlan somehow tore his meniscus while hitting Helms with a pie in the face. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_629\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t make this stuff up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NFL news: Jets join the bidding for Terrell Owens; Brett Favre \u201ccould play until 50\u201d\u2019 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The New York Jets are the latest team to join the bidding war for Terrell Owens. The deal makes sense in that the Jets will start the season somewhat shorthanded at wideout with Santonio Holmes suspended. On the other hand, when Holmes returns, there won\u2019t be many balls to go around between Holmes, Owens, Braylon Edwards and Jerricho Cotchery.<\/p>\n<p>The Rams have reportedly backed off and the Bengals are still in hot pursuit of Owens.<\/p>\n<p>Cincy remains the favorite to land him.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not an official indication that Brett Favre will return to play football in 2010, but it sure fuels the fire. Favre told the\u00a0<em>USA Today <\/em>that while \u201cyou gotta quit sometime&#8230;.maybe I will be doing this when I\u2019m 50 years old, who knows?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s even a possibility, you have to think Favre will be a Viking again this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NBA news: Cavaliers trade West, Telfair to Timberwolves for Sessions, Hollins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have to say \u2013 without knowing if they\u2019ve actually gotten better, we can at least say the Minnesota Timberwolves have quietly been one of basketball\u2019s busier teams this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, they acquired Delonte West and Sebastian Telfair from the Cleveland Cavaliers for Ramon Sessions and Ryan Hollins.<\/p>\n<p>The T-Wolves, who are cleaning house, will waive West. In Sessions, the Cavs get a durable guard who played all 82 games in 2009-10, averaging 8.2 points.<\/p>\n<h3>SPORTSBOOK.COM PROMOS \u2013 JOIN and GET up to $100 FREE \u2013 10% New Member Bonus on your first deposit. $20 Mobile Free Play \u2013 Stay on the go and in the dough with Sportsbook.com Mobile.
