Today is National Brown-Bag-It Day.
************************************************
The Boston Red Sox plated 6 runners in the second, third and fourth innings last night, cruising to a 6-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, in front of just 21,430 fans at Tropicana Field.
David Ortiz hit a solo homer in the second for the Bosox and Kevin Youkilis belted a two-run shot in the fourth to lead Boston. The Rays got their only run in the fourth on a Carlos Pena homer.
Clay Buckholz got the win, he's 6-3. Wade Davis took the loss, he's now 4-4.
Tampa Bay is now 32-13, and now 5 1/2 games ahead of the Yankees, 6 games ahead of Toronto, 7 1/2 games ahead of the Red Sox and 18 games ahead of Baltimore in the A.L. East.
The Rays host Boston again tonight at 7:10pm EDT on 620AM WDAE, Sun Sports and MLB.TV.

In suburban New York Sunday night a man bit another during a fight over a couple of dogs. Two dog owners got into it when one didn't like the way their pets were playing at a dog park. A third man tried to break up the fight and one of the combatants bit him on the wrist.

Here's a list of the teams that have won the Stanley Cup.
************************************************
Philadelphia earned their first trip to the finals since 1997 with last night's 4-2 win over Montreal. They'll face Chicago, finalists for the first time since 1992, starting this Saturday and Monday in Chicago, 8:00pm EDT both nights on NBC. The Flyers last won the Cup in 1975 when they beat Buffalo. The Blackhawks last championship was in 1961, when they knocked off Detroit.

In TV news:
Law & Order had its series finale Monday night. (The detectives made their final arrest, hauling Betty White in for overexposure.)
Lost's final show fell short of ratings expectations. The finale averaged only 13.5 million viewers.
Dancing with the Stars season finale is tonight. Thank goodness that freak Chad 85 isn't on. (Notice how Oregon State fans never claim him as one of their ex-players?)
