Robert Seamans, 27, was attempting to slide down a railing before losing his balance; he hit the concrete head-first after falling. No disrespect to the Seamans family \u2013 but let\u2019s hope Robert\u2019s death is at least a lesson to other baseball fans that sliding down steel railings is never, ever a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>Homer Bailey finally looked like he was becoming the dominant pitcher the Reds hoped he\u2019d be this season, so it\u2019s a real shame to see him on the shelf now. He left yesterday\u2019s start against the Phillies with what was originally diagnosed as muscle spasms. However, it turns out that he has a sprained shoulder. There\u2019s no immediate timetable for his return.<\/p>\n<p>Carlos Zambrano has won his share of games thanks to his electric arsenal of pitches but the big Cubs righthander also gets it done with the bat regularly. He won after allowing two runs in six innings against the Mets yesterday but Big Z also went 3 for 3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored. He\u2019s a .241 hitter with 22 homers in 668 career at-bats.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NBA news: Kobe has \u201cirreversible\u201d knee problems; Rockets courting Kevin McHale; Bargnani denies wanting to leave Toronto<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Is it possible that Kobe Bryant\u2019s Hall-of-Fame career is about to start its gradual decline? Lakers team trainer Gary Vitti explained this week that \u201cstructurally there are some issues [with Kobe\u2019s knee] that cannot be reversed, but can be dealt with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that while Kobe doesn\u2019t have arthritis, he has some \u201cjoint degeneration\u201d in his knee.   <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wgmg.co.cr\/marketing\/click\/1445\/408\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 5px; background: #cccccc;\" src=\"http:\/\/banners.affiliatelions.com\/marketing\/getimage\/1445\/408\/\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Houston Rockets appear close to nailing down Kevin McHale as their next head coach. General manager Daryl Morey reportedly likes him over Lawrence Frank (Celtics) and Dwane Casey (Mavericks). McHale, now a TNT analyst, has limited coaching experience. He guided the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 19-12 record to finish the 2004-05 season and a 20-43 mark to end 2008-09.<\/p>\n<p>Former first overall pick Andrea Bargnani had a mixup this week when his quotes on an Italian TV station were reportedly misinterpreted or at least taken out of context. Sky Sports asked him which NBA team he\u2019d like to play for if given the choice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to stay in Toronto, at least this is the politically correct answer,\u201d he said. \u201cIf [I am] to go somewhere else, I\u2019d like a warm climate city and a team where I can actually play my role.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bargnani later clarified that the portrayal of his words was \u201cinaccurate\u201d and that \u201cI want to make clear my love for Toronto and that I consider the city a second home. I never said that I want to leave Toronto and I\u2019m sorry if fans interpreted the inaccuracy that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>NFL news: Aqib Talib indicted on assault charges<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback was indicted today in Dallas on felony charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He could face from two to 20 years in prison if convicted. Police reports allege that Talib brandished a gun during the incident in question, hit his sister\u2019s boyfriend with it and fired several shots in the boyfriend\u2019s direction as he fled the scene.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PREMIUM PICKS FOR THIS WEEK FROM RAZOR RAY &#8211; THE #1 Capper currently in the WORLD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CappersPicks.com InHouse Handicapper!!!!
