23 2006 | Finally the other team won Game 2. For the first time since 2003 the World Series won’t be a sweep. Eighteen-year veteran Kenny Rogers and his pet dirt smudge pitched the Detroit Tigers to a 3-1 win in Game 2 Sunday evening the Series after rookie Anthony Reyes had pitched the St. Louis Cardinals to a 7-2 win in Game 1 Saturday. Rogers co-starred with Craig Monroe who hit a first-inning home run with Carlos Guillen who had a single double and triple and with that smudge of dirt — or something — on his pitching thumb. TV cameras captured something brown and smudgy at the base of Rogers’ left thumb in the first inning when he gave up a walk and an infield single that should have been scored an error but escaped by getting Juan Encarnacion on a comebacker. In the second the smudge was gone and smudge-free Rogers didn’t give up another hit until the eighth.

Rogge said that the IC’s educational mission also include all the efforts made to inform both elite and amateur athletes of the disastrous health consequences of doping. "Scientists and doctors who through their anti-ethical behavior contribute to medicinal substance abuse must be stigmatised — which can be considered as another form of education" said the IC chief.

Here Politics Is the Game. Montgomery 27 a grass-roots organizer says she has “zero” interest in sports and is even less equipped to engage in the statistics-laden talk of fantasy sports leagues that dominates at many water coolers in sports-crazy cities like Chicago. The hours sports fans spend tracking their favorite players are for Ms. Montgomery devoted to scouring the legislative agendas of members of Congress.
