Forget the Brewers tussling in the dugout last night, this was much more entertaining. One of my favorite things to watch on Sports Center is when an anchor or analyst starts to get frustrated. Most shy away and let the topic pass, but Brian Kenny refuses to ever back down.Here is Kenny arguing with Steve Phillips during last night's Sports Center about Joba Chamberlain being...

That's a title that you wouldn't expect to see while my brother was here. No? Let's get to the morning nonsense.*That had to be one of the ugliest perfect game attempts I've ever seen. Jeff Karstens had a number of balls that were hit very hard that his outfielders had a beat on. I wonder if the Yankees and their fans think that trade was such a slam dunk now that Joba Chamberlain...
