It was a day of major ups and downs in the sports world. Did you see the Preakness today? Barbaro was the definite favorite, after winning the Kentucky Derby easily. But it wasn't to be. Barbaro broke his rear leg both above and below the ankle, and will require surgery on Sunday to save his life.

In other sports, Barry Bonds finally tied Babe Ruth's record of 714 home runs. I remember when Hank Aaron did that. They interrupted scheduled programming to let everyone see it happen. They didn't do that this time. Gee, I wonder why?

The baseball game in Chicago had it's own minor spectacle today. Four players were kicked off the two teams for fighting.
Michael Barrett was waiting for the ball when A.J. Pierzynski ran him over. Barrett's reaction? He got up and punched the White Sox catcher in the jaw, setting off a melee between Chicago's two baseball teams.


On a more local note, Albert Pujols hit home run number 21 on Saturday when he blasted a three-run homer while playing against Kansas City. It was also his 53rd RBI so far this season. Go Cards!!
