BRYCE HARPER STEALS HOME AFTER BEING HIT BY PITCH
SEE LIVE STOLEN HOME
SEE COLE HAMELS HIT HARPER
"...usual suspect: The greatest trick Bryce Harper ever pulled was convincing the world he was only a 19-year-old rookie. The kid who seems to do something unique in every game did it again, stealing home on a pickoff attempt by Cole Hamels in the first inning Sunday night. Not only was it Harper's first stolen base in the majors, it was sweet revenge for getting hit with a pitch in the back by Hamels earlier in the inning. But the joy was fleeting, as Hunter Pence hit two homers and Hamels otherwise dominated in a 9-3 victory for Philly that averted a sweep at Nationals Park. And then there's what happened to slugger Jayson Werth"

The long game, which started at 1:35 p.m. and lasted 6 hours 7 minutes (the longest Sox game since July 9, 2006 - a 6-5 19-inning loss to the White Sox), ended in complete frustration.

New Jersey Devils Swarm Philadelphia Flyers in 4-2 Win; Lead Series 3-1 - In Lou We Trust"The New Jersey Devils have pushed the Philadelphia Flyers to the brink of elimination at the Rock tonight. They won Game 4 by a score of 4-2, which was 3-2 until Dainius Zubrus iced the game with an empty net goal. The score may have been close, but the performance wasn't as the Devils just out-played the Flyers for the first two periods and held steady in the third. They swarmed the Flyers' end with great success and Ilya Bryzgalov was the only reason why this game wasn't a blowout. All this and a
commanding 3-1 lead in their playoff series.The empty net goal itself was a summation of how the..."

Cruel break: Werth broke his left wrist trying to make a diving catch in the top of the sixth on a looper hit by Placido Polanco. He'll miss anywhere from six weeks to several months, reporter Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post writes, but more will be known after Werth visits the same specialist who repaired a break in his wrist in 2005. The Nats, who share the best record in the NL with the Dodgers, have been playing without Ryan Zimmerman and Michael Morse, but they are scheduled to return this week. But losing Werth, who signed a $126 million contract before the 2010 season, will take some getting over."http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/juice-bryce-harper-steals-home-jayson-werth-breaks-074721276.html

Justin Bieber's appearance with Floyd Mayweather last night was months in the making -- and sources close to The Biebs tell TMZ ... Justin feels his new "mentor" is really just "misunderstood."According to our sources, Mayweather asked Bieber four months ago to join him in Las Vegas for the Miguel Cotto fight ... and Bieber, a huge boxing fan, jumped at the opportunity.We're told Floyd and Justin became friends after Floyd saw Justin's movie, "Never Say Never," and reached out to his camp. According to our sources, Floyd decided he wanted to mentor Justin and the two developed a relationship. Our sources say Mayweather tried to impart his work ethic on Justin, basically telling him he could develop the same level of "greatness" Floyd achieved ... if he
worked as hard as Floyd did. We're told the two hit it off and Justin tells people he thinks Floyd is just misunderstood ... and
that he is a really a "hard-working and clean-cut guy." Several judges would disagree, but whatever ..."

Claude Giroux Suspended 1 Game For Dainius Zubrus Hit, Will Miss Game 5 - Broad Street Hockey(SB Nation) - Philadelphia Flyers forward Claude Giroux
has been suspended one game by the NHL for his head
shot on New Jersey Devils forward Dainius Zubrus. The hit
occured late in the second period of Sunday's Game 4
between the clubs at Prudential Center.
The news was announced by the Flyers on Monday
afternoon following Giroux's hearing with the NHL's chief
of player safety, Brendan Shanahan. The news could come
as a little bit of a surprise given the lack of injury on the
play to Zubrus and the fact that Giroux is not a repeat
offender, but the head was undoubtedly the principal point
of contact on this hit, and perhaps

Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KOs), boxing’s only eight-division world champion and the lone congressional representative from the Sarangani province in the Philippines, will begin his four-week U.S. training camp, on Monday, May 7, at Roach’s Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, Calif. Pacman will be defending his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight championship crown against undefeated WBO junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (28-0, 12 KOs), of Palm Springs, Calif.http://www.boxinginsider.com/headlines/manny-pacquiao-has-landed-in-la-ready-for-bradley/
(Pacquiao's promoter) Bob Arum is not going to let the fight happen. It's not on me."I'm just really tired of the media and the people being fooled," he said. "The truth is, (Pacquiao's promoter) Bob Arum is not going to let the fight happen. It's not on me. I went to Pacquiao and offered him $40 million, and told him I would wire him $20 million within 48 hours. He turned me down and said he wanted a 50-50 split. I'm like, how can you ask for 50-50 and you're not doing the same numbers that I'm doing."So once he's free from Bob Arum, will the fight happen? Absolutely. But as of now, he's with Bob Arum so the fight isn't going to happen." …“Maybe Bradley should come over to the Wild Card and see how hard Manny works in the ring. No one works harder – no one – and Manny is not ready to give up his throne. Manny is so serious. He gave up playing basketball and that means a lot to him. He is a serious, dedicated athlete going into a very big fight. Now we do our finishing training at the Wild Card. I promise you Manny will shoot the works when he faces Bradley.” http://www.usatoday.com/sports/boxing/story/2012-05-06/floyd-mayweather-pacquiao-fight-isnt-going-to-happen/54787152/1
