I saw him (Morneau)live again at Camden Yards and he looked very much like he belonged, except when <b>B.J. Ryan</b> made him look silly. But then Ryan has made many a lefty look out of sorts, as he is holding them to a .033 batting average, giving up a mere two hits in 60 at-bats with 29 whiffs, including Morneau.

Cornerback Charles Tillman pulled up at midday and declared he was ready for an 8 a.m. practice today. The first workout, which will be without pads, isn't until 3:55 p.m. The pads go on and contact begins at 8:40 a.m. Thursday... "That's how ready I am,'' Tillman joked when notified of what will be a busy morning of meetings. "I thought we had a morning practice. Three fifty-five, we're going to get this thing on the way."

"Obviously, it's Greg's day and it's years and years of hard work and a lot of talent and success culminating. But I think everybody on the club is looking forward to it. Even the fans in the city of Chicago will make it a big day, especially if we can do it at home."
It took Roger Clemens four tries to notch his 300th win last season.

Just look at the Carolina Panthers. They were 1-15 in 2001, and didn't have a winning season since 1996. They broke training camp last summer with Rodney Peete as their starter at QB and Jake Delhomme, who would gain folk-hero status, as the backup. And they lost the Super Bowl to the Pats in the final seconds.

Orioles manager Lee Mazzilli lifted Borkowski after Kevin Millar led off the eighth with a single. B.J. Ryan entered and struck out Jason Varitek and Bill Mueller before retiring Gabe Kapler on a grounder.
Ryan gave up a solo homer to David Ortiz in the ninth, but completed the inning and the four-hitter. It was the first home run that Ryan allowed to a left-hander since Sept. 22, 2002, when Cliff Floyd connected for the Red Sox.
The victory enabled the Orioles to earn a split of the rain-shortened two-game series and end Boston's three-game winning streak.

(Charles Tillman) <b>It's all business</b>
When Bears second-year cornerback Charles Tillman heard that first-round draft pick Tommie Harris was a likely holdout, he wasn't about to urge the rookie to get into camp.
Last year Tillman missed the start of camp as a second-round holdout, so he's understanding of the process.
"It's business," Tillman said. "He's got to take care of his business. I had to take care of my business, whether you're here on time or not.
"Try to get it done as quick as possible, but at the same time get something out of it that's going to be good for you."
It's often said by coaches that players miss to much by holding out.
"In my case, last year when I got here late I didn't miss too much and so I was OK," said Tillman, who missed the first two days.

Mickey Mantle may no longer be among the living, but as one of the greatest baseball players of all time, his legacy on cardboard lives on in the hearts of millions of sports memorabilia collectors and baseball fans.
A dream of a lifetime was achieved when Chris LeBlanc walked into his local Wal-Mart store and purchased one of the top-selling sports card products in the industry, a TRISTAR Hidden Treasures Graded Baseball Card. Inside, he found a redemption certificate for one of the product´s Grand Treasures: a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle valued at $18,000.
"I still can´t believe that I got a Mantle card. I walked into Wal-Mart to get a few things for my son," said LeBlanc, 25, owner of Precision Flooring. "I had a little extra cash and ended up getting two packs of Hidden Treasures. My girlfriend thought she was going to have to call an ambulance when she saw my face after I opened the pack that said I´d won the Mantle card."
LeBlanc will be presented with the Mantle card in a special event to take place inside the Wal-Mart store where he purchased his treasure 12:30 p.m. today.
Former New York Yankees pitcher Ron Guidry, known as <b> "Louisiana Lightning" </b> will take part in the special presentation.

Regardless, Walker's absence didn't cause the loss. Reliever Scott Dohmann, a stand-up kid from Louisiana, pointed the finger at himself.
In a game of 307 pitches, Dohmann paid a heavy price for a single sloppy slider to Los Angeles' David Ross. With the Rockies protecting a one-run lead, the catcher deposited a two-run homer into the left-field bleachers. The pitch illustrated baseball's evil desire to humble anyone who plays the game.
Before Thursday, Dohmann had strung together 15 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings, the most by a Rockies pitcher this season.
"It was one bad pitch," Dohmann said. "I don't care about any personal streaks. I am upset because I cost our team a win."

The concept was simple: Many people drive to New Orleans for Jazz Fest and Mardi Gras, and few realize what wonderfully diverse and culturally rich country they drive through on the way. Having explored this area individually and in groups through vacations and weekend trips, we wanted to share our discoveries and good times with everyone, and were pleased to see even the local daily follow our recommendations in their recent sojourn there.
This guide began with Ed Ward, who was teaching a cooking class when he still lived here some years back. Ward decided it wasn't enough to get ingredients locally -- they should come from the source... crawfish from Lake Charles, boudin from Jennings, garlic sausage from Eunice. Somehow, the results just tasted better for having made the trip. This concurred with something that Louis Black, Nick Barbaro, and I had known but hadn't admitted: that while we talked a lot about Louisiana music, we were really dreaming about Louisiana food.
Ward's culinary excursions resulted in a three-page handout for his cooking class, in which the other cultural aspects were almost an afterthought: As long as you're there buying sausage, etc., why not stay over and go to Fred's or Slim's? Why not, indeed. We started making regular trips back and forth, each time discovering new places to go and more things to do, and sharing the knowledge with each other. We were inspired by Ward's guide, agreeing with some of it, disagreeing with parts, and adding our own favorites. Most of these stops are within an hour's drive off Interstate 10.
In his original introduction, Louis Black cautioned readers to consider this "an arbitrary listing of food, music, and places of interest on the road between the Texas border and the Atchafalaya," and he couldn't be more right. We hope you'll find the same charm and pleasure in puzzling over this arbitrary guide as we got in stumbling upon and returning to these wonderful jigsaw bits of Louisiana.
