The San Diego Padres clinched the mild, mild NL West at .500, then partied like they were 1.000.

Now the Padres (79-79) need to win three of their last four games to finish above .500 for just the 11th time in their history. Since 1969, and excluding strike years, the 1973 New York Mets own the lowest winning percentage of a division champion by going 82-79 (.509) to win the NL East. - Sports Illustrated

If The Padres played in the NL East they would be last and 10 1/2 games back. NL Central 3rd and 17 1/2 games back. AL Central 4th/16 games back. AL East 3rd/14 games back. AL West 3rd/12 games back.

A newly discovered virus has killed dogs in at least seven states, and veterinarians, kennel operators and pet owners are concerned because researchers say there is no vaccine and dogs do not have immunity to the new flu.

Dr. Cynda Crawford, an immunologist at the University of Florida’s College of Veterinary Medicine, said in an audio interview posted on the university Web site that the disease is only deadly in rare cases — about 10 percent in puppies and old dogs — but is of concern because it is spreading rapidly. -ABC News

Japanese scientists have taken the first photographs of one of the most mysterious creatures in the deep ocean — the giant squid.

Until now the only information about the behavior of the creatures, which measure up to 59 feet (18 meters) in length, has been based on dead or dying squid washed up on shore or captured in commercial fishing nets. - MSNBC

Calamari (Italian for squid) has long been an international delicacy especially in Asia and the Mediterranean. The sweet tasting, mild meat of the calamari has a firm texture and is highly versatile so it lends itself well to a variety of mouthwatering calamari recipes. Squid are low in fat as well as an excellent source of protein. - Gortons Of Gloucester

A routine check of a shipment at Manila airport turned bloody when a piranha sprung up and bit one of the inspectors.

“I was checking one of the boxes when suddenly, something leaped out of it and bit me,” fisheries quarantine inspector Mario Trio told the Philippine Daily Inquirer in a report published Tuesday.

The bite left a V-shaped wound on the inspector’s finger, and the 34 piranhas in the consignment he was checking — falsely declared as “ornamental fish” from Peru — were confiscated over the weekend, but died two days later, the newspaper reported.

The Filipino consignee faces charges of illegally importing live piranhas, punishable by up to eight years in prison and a fine, quarantine chief Felipe Santamaria said.- Yahoo News

There’s Vinny!!! I was wondering where he was. I think he’s older then Yoda!

So the pool has dwindled to 7. Thanks for the great tips so far. I figure if I can last another couple of weeks, that prize will be mine!

Please let me know your expert opinion: Don’t think there are any safe picks next week considering I’ve already used 3 of the top teams. Wish me luck!

I’m probably Andy Roddick’s biggest critic, but I just have to criticize more. He did win the clinching point in Sundays Davis Cup regulation match against Belgium, blasting 30+ aces he came out with a five set controversial victory. A few games earlier, an overheaad by Olivier Rochus was called out, when it was clearly in, on replay. An argument incurred over the call, giving the fatigued Roddick more time to rest. He eventually closed out the set. My point is that he really does not know how to conduct himself. He is playing on hostile territory, and having the match in hand, he gets the crowd and his opponent riled up!!! He basically walked off the court yelling at he fans. I love the US, but I almost don’t want to root for my country when he is playing!!!

Hmmm… I’m afraid to go to a Jets game, cause I might fall and hurt my shoulder as i come into Giants Stadium. Note to Bollinger “wear an extra brace on your shoulder…actually you know what?? why don’t you just put ice on it now.”

Damn! What the hell was LT taking…cocaine..oh no thats the other “LT “(56)”… Talk about bringing his “A” game. I couldn’t stop cursing at the Giants defense, while I was studying for Social Psychology. Tomlinson was unstoppable!! By far the best RB in the league. As for Eli, I honestly thought he was going to look like he never threw a football in his life. In enemy territory, booing him on every offensive position…signs everywhere saying hes a brat…looked like a WWE wrestling crowd! I thought poor kid. He’s going to be traumatized after this game…. but instead he went 24-for-41 for 352 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Not bad…even though the g-men got their asses kicked.
