Let's cut to the chase here. I'm Eli Schoop and I'm here for all you men who get asked questions sports at parties or around the watercooler when you honestly don't care for sports outside of the occasional Super Bowl party or "that crazy highlight you HAD to see." If it's general enough that your co-workers or relatives will talk about it, I'll provide enough info that you can safely sound like you actually know what you're talking about but not overload the information to the point in which you sound like a fanatic of the game. Shall we begin?
Yankees 3 - Red Sox 2
The New York Yankees came back from 2-0 in the 5th to score 3 runs from plays by outfielders Curtis Granderson and Nick Swisher. Yankees manager Joe Girardi yanked starting pitching Bartolo Colon and used 5 relievers in a span of 4 and 1/3 innings to keep the Red Sox at bay. This match-up brought the Yankees one game ahead of the Red Sox in the American League East Division.

The NBA lockout situation
As the National Basketball Association nears closer to regular-season games being missed, several high profile players are considering offers from foreign teams. One such player is Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, who to keep himself from getting rusty in the lockout's time is considering a move to Turkish club Besiktas (that's besh-shi-tas). Another star of the NBA who is pondering going overseas to play b-ball is Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat, who has received an offer from Chinese club Zhejiang Guangsha (you're on your own).
HoF inductions
On Sunday, 7 of the National Football League's greatest were inducted into the National Football Hall of Fame. They are; former Atlanta Falcon and Dallas Cowboy cornerback Deion Sanders, former Baltimore Raven and Denver Bronco tight end Shannon Sharpe, former Chicago Bear defensive lineman Richard Dent, former St. Louis Ram running back Marshall Faulk, former NFL Films president Ed Sabol, former Washington Redskin linebacker Chris Hanburger, and former Los Angeles Ram linebacker Les Richter.
That's all for August 7th. Stay classy.
