HERE AND THERE

The Yanks finally showed off some power last night by blasting a couple of homers in a 10-4 win over the Cubs. CC Sabathia continued his journey toward the strangest 20-win season by again lasting 7 innings and getting a win without overpowering stuff. He doesn't dominate, he just wins.

Phil Hughes was clocked at 95 MPH in a rehab start in Staten Island yesterday. Most of the Little Leaguers he faced said he had good movement on his pitches.

After their manager, Edwin Rodriguez, unexpectedly resigned, the Florida Marlins named 80-year old Jack McKeon as their new manager. He is not expected to take over the club for a few days while the Marlins install a handicap ramp from the dugout to the field.

Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen spent the night in a hospital after passing a kidney stone. That's funny, I thought Ozzie Guillen WAS a kidney stone.

From Bob Molinaro, The Virginia-Pilot: "South Carolina senior quarterback Stephen Garcia was recently reinstated to Steve Spurrier's team after his fifth suspension. That'll teach him."

More later today.
