Jon Lester made his first major league appearance of the season! He started strong, but then got himself in a little trouble in the 4th inning...Just when it was starting to look like he was maybe back too soon, Lester dug himself out of his mess and went on to score himself the win! Here's the dramatic end of the fourth innning...

Fox gushed on and on about Tito, including a little photo montage of TIto with hair!

Dancing with Adam Carolla

Last season of Dancing With The Stars -- Let's call it "The Marie Osmond Love Fest" -- was, well, hard to watch. I swore off the show. I adored in the Apolo Anton Ono days, but chocked it up to Apolo Anton One. Well, I peeked at the list for this season, nonetheless, and here it is -- and look who's on top!

Adam Carolla - The hilarious radio host and best bud of Kimmel. I can't imagine him dancing, but I can't imagine it not being funny!

Cristián de la Fuente - I have no idea...

Shannon Elizabeth - she was in "American Pie"... I think she maybe the one who was also on That 70s Show..

Steve Guttenberg - more laughs! can you visualize it?

Mario - no last name, must be a pop star?

Marlee Matlin - whoa, deaf is a good twist...

Penn Jillette - That's Penn from Penn and Teller! Holy crap, he's like 8ft tall -- maybe he can make the judges disappear?

Priscilla Presley - Presley is 62.. wonder if she's got the king's moves...

Monica Seles - tennis champ..

Jason Taylor - i'm told he's a football player

Marissa Jaret Winokur - i don't know..

Kristi Yamaguchi - the figure skater -- that's gotta be an advantage. i believe she started skating pairs too...

Gagne "Apologizes"

In an AP article, Gagne was quoted about the Mitchell Report:

"I'm here to let you know I feel bad for my family, what they had to go through, and all my friends, especially my teammates here with Milwaukee," Gagne said a statement. "That's a distraction that shouldn't be taking place. I'm just here to help the Milwaukee Brewers get to the World Series and playoffs, and that's all I really care about."

Is that an apology? I can't tell... He called the Mitchell Report a "distraction that shouldn't be taking place"! Wow! That's some serious blame shifting. It's not his past behavior that the distraction -- it's the Report. Nowhere in there does he acknowledge that he did anything wrong or that he is sorry for... errrrrrr... Never been happier to see the Sox let a player go...
