So, no updates today on whether or not poker playing pie-pants Josh Arieh made passionate man-on-man love with his "hero" while playing golf at Shadow Creek. We’re assuming that Josh was so busy gushing that he lost all track of time and completely neglected his blog for the day. That’s what happens to starry-eyed little girls when they come face-to-face with those they idolize. And that also happens to Josh everytime he passes a pastry shop. Pity. Well, as soon as we get the updates on Arieh’s man-crush, we’ll be sure to adequately flay and slay.

With the rumors circulating that Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court William Rehnquist would retire this week it’s a great time to cash in your food stamps and put your 5th grade Social Studies textbook to good use. BetUs has enough judiciary action to make a cour clerk blush. Favorites to replace Rehnquist as Chief Justice are fanny-pinching porn fan Clarence Thomas at -150 and Antonin Scalia at -450.

Baseball addict and nebbish jerk-off George Will tells us that MLB is the perfect game for a sleepy summer afternoon, so why are we surprised that two-hour forty-five minute games, pitching changes every third of an inning and endless pitcher-catcher conferences leave us in a stupor? We only start paying attention when the going gets good. At Bet365 and Betroyal, the ?first team to score wins? bet is pretty attractive. During last weekend?s Interleague play, the first team to score won 27 of 45 games ? a 60 percent clip. So where?s the edge?

ESPN Fantasy’s nerd-a-riffic expert Eric Karabell takes some time away from his chemistry set and explores the mystery that is Boston Red Sox reliever Keith Foulke. Owners of Foulke have to be plenty frustrated at this point–especially after doinking the 8-7 lead to the Cleveland Indians Tuesday night. Karabell doesn’t flat-out say to give up on the Red Sox round-faced closer, but does suggest making sure middle reliever Mike Timlin (1.64 ERA) is on the waiver wire radar in case Foulke-y commences any more colossal bed-shitting anytime soon:

There remains little indication the Red Sox will replace Foulke…(But…) [W]ill there be a trade?

So, the NASCAR season resumes this weekend with scinitilating(and thirst quenching) Pepsi 400 battle at Daytona. It’s amazing the amount of abuse NASCAR fans–and the sport itself–take from many neigh-sayers. The drama, the intrigue, the sneaky athleticism, and the always intriguing potential for a horrifyingly violent, metal-twisting, burning wreck resulting in massive injuries or casualties is what makes this sport fun. Vrooooom. The bookmaking canucks at Covers are always into making lines–and NASCAR is no exception– as they report on who the heavy favorites are at this weekend’s race. Jeff Gordon, at +400, is a favorite, but surprisingly Greg "Tissue Box" Biffle is at +1,500 even though he’s been on a phenomenal winning streak of late. And plus he’s got such a catchy name. Watch it roll of the tongue…Bifffle. Pepsi 400 Preview and Picks [Covers]

Lollygagging Dodger fans take note ? if you?re in no hurry to catch the first inning, you?re missing out on one of the most popular sports bets on the Net. Bet365, BetWWTS and William Hill all offer ?score in the first inning? bets that look mighty tempting. Last weekend?s Interleague play showed where bettors can make some quick dollars by scraping spare change from between the couch cushions.In 45 games, a run crossed the plate in the first inning 27 times ? a not-too-shabby edge of 53 percent.
