PHILADELPHIA - Mike Pelfrey spent most of spring training preparing to raise the curtain on the new version of himself - mature, composed, reacquainted with the blessings of his power, two- seam fastball. Never mind Pelfrey probably was trying to convince himself instead of the world. All the Mets were looking for was a glimpse of Pelfrey's 10-1 start in 2010. The result? Pelfrey is 0-for-2: two starts, two more reasons not to trust the substitute ace who isn't. By his own merciless indictment, Pelfrey was "awful" against the Phillies in a 10-7 loss Wednesday night, allowing seven runs in two-plus inning, raising his April ERA to 15.63

Well, we had Gerald Purdie's 85th birthday party last Sunday evening at the Olgers store museum. Folks came from far and wide and it was one beautiful day. The museum was open and a lot of folks came in and took pictures. Yes I led the singing in Happy Birthday to Gerald and I gave it my best shot and everyone joined in. Thanks to Gerald's son, Jamie, and his wife Teresa, and the grandchildren who did all the cooking, and Teresa even made cake and it was wonderful. Gerald can't walk anymore, but we helped him to the porch to his spot where he has been for 50 or more years. Gerald is the oldest child, four children have already passed, there are three left. They had the best fried fish, potato salad, macaroni salad, hush puppies. I tell you folks did eat too and Gerald got some nice pr...

Funny, after a couple of years on the market, there still seems to be a few who don't recognize the "SRT" badging when they see it. Like this guy who pulls up next to me in a BMW 6 Series on Detroit's I-94 during a recent test run in the Charger SRT8 looking to race. The 2007 Dodge Charger SRT8 offers more than big-bore SRT power under the hood," noted Kipp Owen, director, Street and Racing Technology, Chrysler Group. "It's an all-around performance package - superb handling, tremendous braking and no-nonsense performance enhancements to the exterior and interior. In addition to clocking a 0-60 mph in the low 5 seconds, the Charger SRT8 is capable of a quarter-mile time in under 14 seconds. The vehicle features Brembo four-piston brake calipers and has a braking distance from 60 mph i...

Consider two recent examples of American justice. In 2009, after a night of bar hopping, a man named Ryan LeVin plowed his speeding Porsche into two British tourists in Fort Lauderdale, killing them. He fled the scene, lied to the cops, tried to pin the crime on someone else.

WIMBLEDON, England - Walking the Wimbledon grounds Sunday, wearing a stylish white jacket with gold trim, his collar turned up for protection from a biting wind, the tournament's six-time champion looked like the same old Roger Federer. True, there have been signs of slippage this month. Federer lost at the French Open in the quarterfinals, his earliest Grand Slam exit in six years. Then he dropped to No. 2 in the rankings behind nemesis Rafael Nadal. Then, at a Wimbledon warm-up event, came Federer's second grass-court defeat since 2003, extending his drought of nearly five months without a title.

Since the Black community presently spends about a penny of every dollar with Black-owned businesses, it is understood that 99 percent of our $700 billion spending power goes into someone else's hands. We are relinquishing tremendous economic and political power and $693 billion to others in this country, simultaneously stripping us of ours. Well it is only appropriate that we give it back to them because, after all, they do provide us with a major portion of the $700 billion through salaries and purchases. This is to say that whoever is employing most of the Black folk, fattening them up, stand to still retain their monetary status due to those same employed Black folk spending 99 percent of their salaries with the employer(s) and even spending a portion of future salaries in the guise...

Tuesday's heat and humidity were not enough to deter a gigantic crowd from showing up for the Guess Who, a band whose fan base spans generations but whose last real hit dates back to the last century. This gap between what was and what is should not necessarily be considered a bad thing, and the current edition of the group is a batch of pros with chops and years of giving crowds what they want. Bassist Jim Kale and drummer Garry Peterson are the only band members with a connection to the chart-topping years of the band's heyday. As a rhythm section, their familiarity with each other, honed by more than 48 years of togetherness, is manifested by the way they locked into the rhythms, giving the other, younger band members a firm foundation to build on.

CHICKENS AND I have been uneasy neighbors since I was about 4 and lived in the little house down the lane from the Majors' farm. In the late 1950s, my parents rented the former sharecroppers' cottage from Mrs. Major and her son, Charles, outside Hopkinsville, Ky. My dad was stationed for a year or so at Fort Campbell, learning how to jump out of airplanes.
