According to the New York Post, ESPN assistant Brooke Hundley slept with Phillips multiple times after she met him in July, and then “taunted” his wife by phone, text message and letter after Phillips broke off the relationship.

The majority of tweeters reacted to the twisted plot with disdain for Phillips:

Others criticized ESPN’s handling of the situation, especially with respect to fellow analyst Harold Reynolds’ 2006 sexual harassment termination:

Tied 4-4 going into the 10th inning, the Tigers third baseman Brandon Inge drove in a run, giving Detroit the lead for the time being. In the bottom of the 10th, Twins first baseman Michael Cuddyer answered with a lead-off triple, eventually tying the game 5-5.

The game, which lasted over four and a half hours, received a lot of attention from baseball fans on Twitter – ‘Detroit’, ‘Tigers’ and ‘Go Twins’ all became trending topics.

   clayhebert Tigers – Twins is a nailbiter. Even if you’re not a baseball fan, turn on TBS. One game playoff. 5-5 top of 12th inning!! 07 Oct 2009 from Tweetie

With the bases loaded in the 12th inning, Inge would come up to bat again hitting a ground ball to Twins second baseman Nick Punto, who saved a run by forcing the runner out at home. Two outs, bases still loaded.

The next at bat – with a full count, it was the Twins 8th pitcher of the game, Bobby Keppel, who recorded a big strike-out against Tigers catcher Gerald Laird. Keppel preserved the tie and gave the Twins another shot to win.

With two men on, the Twins’ Alexi Casilla hit a ground ball hit into right field allowing the winning run to score. The Twins comeback would be completed in front of a home crowd of over 54,000, in a stadium which was not supposed to see any post season action.

Last year, the Twins faced a similar fate, but lost to the White Sox in Chicago, 1-0.

Despite losing three starters to injuries, including All-Star first baseman Justin Morneau, the Twins have rallied to won their last 16 of 20 games and tie the best record in the AL Central. The Tigers, on the other hand, have won only 10 of their last 20 games.

“It feels good to come back… But it won’t mean anything if we don’t win Tuesday,” said Twins center fielder Denard Span, according to USA Today.

Most Twins fans on Twitter aren’t making predictions. Many just hope they don’t suffer the same heartbreak as last year:

The San Diego Padres-Houston Astros baseball game was delayed Thursday after a swarm of bees descended on the field. The game was stopped for 45 minutes as a uniformed bee keeper–they have these guys on retainer?–attended to the unusual act of nature.

Sam Fuld and Cubs hope July is better than June

As June turns into July, there are absolutes to the cadance of every baseball season. The Red Sox will be one of the best teams–Tuesday night notwithstanding…holy Dewey Evans!–another ‘roider will roll up on a heckler, and the Cubs will be making news for every other reason except for winning a World Series. Can someone get Ron Santo a Mars bar, please?

Just completing a 12-14 month, the Cubs enter July with a laundry list of ailments not even Michael Jackson’s doctor could prescribe medication for. I am not a, ahem, licensed physician trained to protect the best interests of my patients. No, I am a blogger, trained to spout off on sports topics rattling around in my brain. Today, it’s what ills the Cubs. Here are 5 ideas that if implemented, can get the Cubs back on track-

1. Aramis Ramirez chops wood like Joe Mauer. Great piece by Tom Verducci in last week’s Sports Illustrated on Twins catcher Joe Mauer. It appears Mauer’s therapy from baseball life is simple– retreating to a log cabin in the upper woods of Minnesota, riding a tractor and listening to hooting owls at night. Missing the first month of the season, Mauer is hitting over .400 since May. Now, I would be stunned of A-Ram spends his downtime sniffing the morning scent of freshly cut grass, but if helps him come off the DL firing, hand him an axe.

2. Jeff Samardijza finds an out pitch. Just back from his Des Moines exile, the bonus baby was supposed to be working on a 3rd pitch to compliment a fastball and change up. If he can get guys out this time up, he becomes a 7th inning option, or if Carlos Marmol continues to struggle, an 8th inning guy. Either way, taking endess bus trips through back roads in Iowa vs sleeping in luxury hotels should motivate Samardijza to figure it out.

3. Milton Bradley hits like Milton Bradley. You know I had to get a Bradley reference in this post, for no other reason than SEO. His keyword is killing it right now on Google! Honestly, Bradley’s lifetime numbers are worthy of the $10 million per year contract the Cubs gave him–.370 OBP, .452 SLG, .821 OPS. I perfect number two guy once A-Ram comes back. Bradley’s clubhouse confrontation with Lou Pinella may be a blessing, if it means his teammates will start paying attention to the mercurial, moody guy. If it makes him hit better, Soriano should take him out to Cold Stone Creamery after every home game, where they can look deeply into each other’s eyes and talk about life, loves and, well, what else is there?

4. Starting pitching doesn’t need to get better, just deeper. Although the Cubs starters are amongst the best in MLB in terms of quality starts, this is deceiving. Quality starts if one of the biggest crock stats in the game, drummed up by entrepreneurial agents like Scott Boras to get fatter contracts for clients. Ryan Dempster goes 6 innings, gives up 7 hits and 3 earned runs. This is considered quality? Yes, in the mediocrity soaked world of professional sports. It’s not the 7 hits or 3 runs that are the problem, but the 6 innings. An extra inning thrown consistenly by Cubs starters means less exposure to the abyss that is their bullpen. Eventually someone from the Marmol, Samardijza, Guzman mix will rise up and seize the 8th inning. The more often they have a lead to protect in the 8th, the more margin for error they give to Kevin Gregg, who can be effective when handed a 2 or 3-run save opportunity in the 9th.

5. This is more of a suggestion for fans–dieting. If you can’t stomach what you’re watching, then take the lead from one Cubs fan and eat less.

These are obviously not sure-fire cures. Although the Cubs are having a bad month, they aren’t suffering as much as this ball boy:

You want a piece of me, Milton? Huh?

What is your idea for fixing the Cubs? Is A-Ram’s return the answer? Send us your tweets @BTsports.

LSU captured their sixth national championship and first under Skip Bertman replacement Paul Mainieri, while the Tigers’ football coach looked on from the stands at Rosenblatt Stadium.

The 11-4 victory over the Texas Longhorns capped an exciting CWS, as usual, but this time the prestige of two storied programs took center stage, per NCAA.com.

Only one way to celebrate a championship: dogpile

(TwitPic by @jjsync)

The past three years have seen surprising champions Oregon State (back-to-back) and Fresno State knock the national seeds from the pages of history, but this year the sport’s Goliaths pushed back and reclaimed the throne.

LSU rightfielder Jared Mitchell– a first-round pick of the Chicago White Sox and wide-receiver on the LSU football team– got the Tigers off to a good start with a three-run homer in the first inning.

Texas responded later to tie the game, but a five-run sixth inning by LSU sealed the Longhorns’ fate, sending Baton Rouge into hysteria:

No. 1 Texas jumped onto the LSU pitching early then got an outstanding complete-game effort from starting pitcher Taylor Jungmann in the Longhorns’ 5-1 victory in Game 2 of the championship series, forcing a deciding game Wednesday night, per ESPN.com.

Weather coming across Omaha delays the start of Game 2:

Jungmann, after a brief, unsuccessful relief appearance in Game 1, shut down the LSU bats, allowing just one run and five hits over the nine innings.

Russell Moldenhauer came into the College World Series with no homeruns. The designated hitter connected for a homerun in a three-run third inning for Texas. It was Moldenhauer’s fourth homerun of the tournament, tieing a CWS-record.

The all too familiar “back, back, back, back…” would still be resonating in ears from Omaha across the country with the amount of homeruns hit during Game 1 of the best-of-three series.

In the end, it was a ninth-inning rally that saved the post-season undefeated Tigers (55-16) before capping off the comeback with a run in the top of the 11th inning, felling the Longhorns 7-6 in in front of 23,000 souvenir-happy fans, per NCAA.com.

Here’s a few tweets from happy Tigers’ fans:

It was only fitting that two teams which have a combined for 11 national titles would combine for seven homeruns– all solo shots  with three coming in the bottom of the fourth inning for Texas (49-15-1), setting the tone for hot, muggy night.

After loading the bases in the top of the 10th and not pushing a run across, the Tigers got a single with two outs from Mikie Mahtook, scoring the winning run from second. Closer Matty Ott recorded his school-record 16th save to finish off the ‘Horns in the bottom of the 11th.

Russell Moldenhauer had two homers for a Texas team that knows they let a win slip away and must now win Tuesday and Wednesday night to snatch the title away from LSU.
