VIRGINIA BEATS ST. JOHNS 10-2, CANUCKS WIN, RICHARD CHILDRESS & KYLE BUSCH SQUARE OFF

The Virginia baseball team is one win away from moving on to next weekends NCAA Baseball Super Regionals after beating St. Johns 10-2 last night.  The Cavs jumped on St. Johns early and never looked back.  The Cavs will face the winner of this afternoons East Carolina vs St. Johns game which will be played at 1pm, the Pirates eliminated Navy yesterday with a 6-1 win.  The Vancouver Canucks beat the Boston Bruins in OT last night 3-2 and with the win now lead the battle for Lord Stanley's Cup 2-0, the Canucks are looking pretty good right now but don't count the Bruins out just yet.  Kurt Busch captured the pole for today Sprint Cup race at the Kansas Speedway edging Juan Pablo Montoya for the top spot but thats not what everybody is talking about at the Kansas Speedway.  What everybody is talking about is a fist fight between Kyle Busch and Richard Childress which took place after yesterdays truck race in the garage area of the Kansas Speedway and after Busch roughed up one the RCR'S drivers on the track after the checked flag.  From all the reports that are coming out from Kansas is that Childress definitely got the best of Kyle Busch after he go him in a headlock and struck him several times in the face.  Also for all the reports that I have seen is that Richard Childress initiated the altercation and I am sure there will be some fines and suspensions handed down from this incident.  Well you can smell the smoke from the forest fire on the Dare County mainland again this morning here in Kill Devil Hills, the fire spread yesterday afternoon when the winds picked back up.  The new scanner is now running pretty good at least for the time being, there were some reception problems at times yesterday which I hope I have corrected.  I think I will be be heading back home about 11am.  MICKEY
