Foul Ball: Big Papi Is Being Sued By Jay-Z

Minnesota 8 Boston 0: Bad day for the Red Sox and Big Papi. The Red Sox were shut out against the Twins and dropped the series. Big Papi didn't play in the game, but found out he is being sued by non other than Jay-Z. Babes Love Baseball has the story:

"New York Yankees fan (and Boston Red Sox hater) rapper Jay-Z is suing the pants of David Ortiz.

Apparently, the rapper and his business, Juan Perez, partner filed a lawsuit against the slumping designated hitter on Thursday for copyright infringement. Big Papi opened a night club in the Dominican Republic and called it "Forty-Forty" which is similar in its name to Jay-Z's "40/40 Club" sports bars."

How petty is that by Jay-Z? That's as bad as wrestler Shawn Michaels suing porn star Sean Michaels.

St. Louis 1 Houston 5: Hey look! The Astros finally won a game. The Astros won behind starting pitcher Bud Norris. Norris struck out nine batters and held the Cardinals scoreless for the first five innings. Norris also knocked in a RBI for the Astros. Jeff Keppinger knocked in three runs for Houston.

Brad Mills Quote: The Astros skipper was relieved to pick up his first victory as a manager. From the AP: “On a scale of 1 to 10?” rookie manager Brad Mills said after the Astros beat St. Louis 5-1 Thursday for their first win of the season, avoiding a tie for the worst start in franchise history. “It’s pretty high. And that’s just being truthful.” It must be, especially how the year started for Houston.

Colorado 0 New York Mets 5: Mike Pelfrey shut down the Rockies in seven innings giving up only five hits, no walks, and six strikeouts. Pelfrey also knocked in a run at the plate to go along with RBI's from Jason Bay and Angel Pagan. Rockies third baseman Ian Stewart committed his third error of the season in the game, officially qualifying him as a Emilio.

Chicago Cubs 6 Milwaukee 8: Trevor Hoffman came real close to blowing his third straight save in this game. Hoffman entered the game with a three-run lead. Two flyballs dropped on the Brewers allowing the Cubs to score a run, before Hoffman finally closed the doors on Chicago.

Oakland 6 Baltimore 2: Ben Sheets won his first game since 2008 on Thursday night. Sheets pitched six innings giving up no runs, five hits and striking out four for the A's. Cliff Pennington drove in two runs for the A's. The Orioles left 10 men on base, including leaving the bases loaded in the sixth inning.

Florida 10 Cincinnati 2: The Fish pounded Reds starting pitcher Aaron Harang for 10 hits and eight runs in four innings. That is good ole Dusty Baker for you. He leaves his starting pitcher in the game to rot while the poor guy is getting pounded for four straight innings. I couldn't be happier that the guy isn't managing the Giants anymore. And we have Bruce Bochy managing the team. Not exactly the greatest manager, that's how much I'm glad Dusty is gone.
