Dunn deal or done in Cincy?
Fox Sports
From Ken Rosenthal
"Get ready for the next round of Adam Dunn trade talks. Dunn loses full no trade protection Sunday. After Sunday he can be traded to all but 10 teams without his permission.
Dunn told me he hopes for a resolution soon...and says the trade talks get old. He added he's open to an extension. The Reds have made no contact with him about a deal."

Classy Jr deserves shot at World Series
Chicago Tribune
Griffey is a modern-day Ernie Banks in a couple of ways. He's one of the greatest ambassadors that baseball has had and, sadly, he never has stepped onto the biggest stage.

Simply jaw dropping!

Tell me you saw Tiger drop a 70 ft. eagle putt on 13,  roll in an eagle putt on18 and a birdie chip-in on 17!  He takes the lead going to the final round of the US Open. Simply spectacular. I still can't believe it.  Coming off knee surgery? First tournament he's played in since. Unreal. His knee buckled on the 15th...and he used his club as a cane at one point to climb out of the bunker.

Dr J helped NBA soar to new heights
Newsday
"I don't like guys jumping up on the scorer's table and shaking their shoulders or shaking their bottom as if they're extra special - more special than the other 11 guys on the team. This image of Bill Russell and his 11 teammates holding one another's hands as they run off the court, I would love to see that happen once again."
