Donald Trump to Miss PA -- You've Got 24 Hours to Apologize ... OR ELSE!!! | TMZ.com - Former Miss Pennsylvania Sheena Monnin has 24 hours to retract her claim that the Miss USA pageant is rigged -- or Donald Trump will slap her with a nasty defamation lawsuit ... this according to Donald's lawyer.
Why the Braves could still use the unlamented Derek Lowe | Mark Bradley - AJC - Bobby Cox used to say (and presumably still does): “If you think you’ve got enough pitching, better go get some more.” This would seem to apply to the team Cox once managed, which believed it had so much pitching it could pay one pitcher to go away.
