Afternoon Balks

1.) Due to the previously reported trade of their seats for fans, the Florida Marlins just completed a 3 game home series 2,734 miles away in Seattle. I guess Tampa Bay was taken. -Confused fan who showed up to watch the game in Miami.

2.) Due mostly to his cool name, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga came from 2 sets down to upset Roger Federer in the Quarterfinals of Wimbledon. Jo-Wi, as FCSL will hereby refer to him, is the 12th seeded player in the world after a strong showing in the 2008 Australian Open. FCSL likes him to become the next superstar in Tennis... unless, of course, he realizes he is French (or that he plays Tennis). -Napoleon, the last relevant Frenchman
Update 2:50 P.M.: Oh, wait....

3.) Eight players were suspended from Mexico's Copa America soccer team on Wednesday, citing female guests in their hotel rooms. At least they were actually women -Ronaldo (Brazil: refer here)

4.) As the exclusive provider of Kansas City Royals news, FCSL is the first to break the story that the Kansas City Royals are currently playing the San Diego Padres -FCSL exclusive report ($).

5.) In an effort to compete with the coverage of the NBA draft last Thursday, the Philadelphia Flyers traded Jeff Carter to the Columbus Blue Jackets and Mike Richards to the Los Angeles Kings, dealing their two top paid and leading point getters for the past half decade.  When they realized the ploy didn't work, the Flyers feverishly tried to reacquire the two players.  Failing, they decided to sign a 31 year old goalie for 9 years. -A laughing  37 year old Tim Thomas.
