08:13 AM ET 09.13 | The sands are slipping through the hourglass for Jair Jurrjens. [Jurrjens] is trying to stay positive as he attempts a comeback from a bone bruise in his right knee, but with a little more than two weeks left in the regular season, the odds are long and he knows it. Jurrjens has been playing catch while wearing a specially-fitted knee brace for the past four days, and working on strengthening his right quadriceps muscle to take pressure off his knee. But he's got no immediate timetable to start throwing off a mound. ... When asked about his chances to get back this season, he hung his head. "I'm trying to stay positive and take it day by day and work on it," Jurrjens said. "It's something you need to check on reality too."

My fantasy team was losing by 42 points before last nights game. After the games, I won by 4 points. Thank you Welker, Gostkowski and Pats Defense.

Yeah, but the 'Fins still play like a pod of beached whales. Damn it sucks being a Dolphins fan.

But I agree...Slinky, Atro, AllStarz, and others target her for some reason. She ran the newbie gauntlet already and should not have to run it all the time.
