Jamie Mottram's Sports Blog - www.misterirrelevant.com

The only sports I concerned myself with this weekend were the Nats picking themselves up off the mat and the Wiz clinching a playoff spot, but here's what else happened, as depicted by my favorite blogs across the internets ...

· Bonds begins making excuses for his homerless start. It was rather enjoyable watching the Dodgers intentionally plunk him on Sunday Night Baseball. Too bad he's padded like a hockey goalie.

· Bonds continues to get heckled ...

· Clinton Portis gives a great interview on the Junkies. We really need to get him on SBL and I'm so regretting that I got a Smoot jersey rather than Clinton's #26 two seasons ago.

· The Reds cheerleaders make a splash.

· Pacman Jones connected to drug bust in Nashville. His Caddy, who he'd loaned to a friend for a rap video, was seized in the sting.

· 3B is the new SS when it comes to developing star players. Here's to hoping that Zimmerman saves the Nats.

· Chris Ray has replaced BJ Ryan in B'more with 4 saves and 0 runs. He throws hard and he throws strikes. And he doesn't cost $10 million/year.

· John David Booty is now the man at USC. Palmer ... Leinart ... Booty? No pressure. Not at all.

· Minor league cash drop promotion puts boy in hospital. I once elbowed akid in pursuit of an Oscar Azocar foul ball in the gravel lot outside a Oneanta Yankees game. I've still got it. Signed by Tony Womack too.

· Shaq can still dunk ...

· SoxFan chafes at Baseball Prospectus dubbing the Ortiz extension "problematic."

· Steve Francis gets disrespected.

· Critical Fanatic lists the top 10 tirades in sports. Jim Mora's "playoffs?" checks in at no. 8.

· Rudy Gay leaves for the lottery. Can't bust 'em.

· Christian Laettner wants to buy the Grizzlies. Cherokee Parks would probably be interested too, if they still played in Vancouver (a.k.a. Amsterdam West).

· Brad Pitt rocks a mohawk while playing baseball.

· Pujols may be the first man to reach base 6,000 times. I really, really wish he was on my team, fantasy or otherwise.

· No way Crosby should win the Calder over Ovechkin.

  Pac Man should put something in his rims so that his car goes WAcka wacka wacka when he drives.
