Eric Chavez pinch-hit single was a crushing blow, breaking up a Yusmeiro Petit perfect game with two outs in the ninth inning. Chavez took Petit to a full count, forcing him to give a decent pitch to the veteran. Chavez wasted no time delivering a line drive base hit to right field. Giants right fielder, Hunter Pence, who made an important catch in the Tim Lincecum perfect game, was unable to come up with the heroics tonight which cost Yusmeiro Petit his chance at a perfect game. Petit retired the next batter, A.J. Pollack, for the final out and a 3-0 Giants victory. Take a look:                                                           courtesy of mlb.com

Yusmeiro Petit is the 12th player to lose a perfect game with 2 outs in the 9th inning (2nd this season - Darvish) — ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) September 7, 2013

  Yusmeiro Petit is in his second year with the Giants and fifth year in the majors. He has a lifetime record of 12-20 with a 5.37ERA in the big leagues, so he has to be a little disappointed not getting that perfect game. Baseball is so fickle, Petit may never have an opportunity to make history again. He stepped up tonight replacing the injured Matt Cain. He had a Matt Cainlike performance throwing 95 pitches for his first career complete game. Needless to say, it was still a perfect night for Petit. 9IP 7Ks 0walks and 1Hit running his record to 3-0.

Brewers season ticket holders gets a personal phone call from Ryan Braun

Ryan Braun hasn't face the media since his suspension by Major League Baseball for using performance enhancing drugs. MLB and Braun did agree on a 65 game suspension that would keep him out the remaining of the 2013 season. Instead of sulking and hiding from the world, Braun has taken an odd approach you don't see everyday. According to cbs58, Ryan Braun is calling Brewers season ticket holders to apologize for using performance enhancing drugs.

Pat Guenther, the owner of Kelly's Bleachers, shared with cbs58 his phone conversation with Mr. Braun, stating:

He picked up the phone thinking it'd be a joke.

"Hey Pat this is Ryan Braun," Guenther recalls. "Right then and there I knew it was his voice based on interviews I've seen on TV. I knew damn well it was his voice."

So he did what anyone in the service industry would do.

"I said what can I do for you? He said, I messed up, in a nutshell, I messed up. I just want to reach out and say I'm sorry. I cut him off right there. I said you know Ryan, I think you're an amazing athlete and this speaks volumes to your character to reach out to a small business owner like myself and let us know that you are going to do better."

Guenther's bar is a popular hangout for Brewers fans. He's also been a season ticket holder for more than 20 years. "Who hasn't made a mistake? People move forward. I think that's what Ryan is trying to do. He's moving forward. He has no other option. Be better, help his ballclub win games and win the hearts of Brewers fans like he has for many, many years." "He was very humble on the phone. He wanted to reach out and for him to do this is an act of kindness. He wants the people of Wisconsin to support the Brewers and him."

Milwaukee Brewers organization has confirmed that they provided Braun with contact information for some season ticket holders at his request.

If anyone got a call from Ryan Braun today offering an apology, we'd like to hear from you @WISN12News, or reach out to me on twitter — Trey Daerr (@TreyDaerr) September 5, 2013

Personally apologizing to the Milwaukee Brewer fans is a clever move on Braun's part. Though he will forever have a tarnished legacy, he may eventually find some forgiveness when he gets reinstated back in the game.

Watch Eagles Cooper & Williams fight on the field

(AP Photo/Matt Rourke)

It's Not so Brotherly Love in Philly after all!  Thursday's practice in Philadelphia included a sparring session between the most controversial receiver in the NFL, Riley Cooper & newly acquired cornerback Cary Williams.  As both players were trying to make a play on the ball ended up in a altercation that may not have anything to do with football.  Take a look:

If you don't know by now, Riley Cooper has been under extreme scrutiny for his outburst at a Kenny Chesney concert.  A video went viral showing Cooper using the N-word.  Cooper recently took a leave of absence in July hoping for the story to die down.  Only problem is, a certain Eagles' player, who had issues with what Cooper said showed some aggression at Thursday's practice. Cary Williams, who is known for being a hot-head, made his feelings known by shoving, throwing punches, grabbing Cooper's face mask and pitching his helmet, all that before Eagles quarterback, Michael Vick broke up the incident.  If we could only read lips!  Folks are fooling themselves if they really thought the Riley Cooper incident that happen close to two months ago was all forgiven.  This incident isn't a big deal, teammates are known to fight in practice.  They are itching for the season to start and altercations do happen; but the timing may be bad as Philadelphia will entertain rival the Washington Redskins on Monday Night Football.  Guess what the topic of discussion will be?

NASCAR driver gets five fingers to the face by a female

     photo credit to foxsports.com

NASCAR driver, Max Papis found himself out of contentions Sunday afternoon when he collided with Mike Skeen's truck on the final lap of the Camping World Truck Series race held in Bowmanville, Ontario. As both racers were battling down the stretch for a second place finish, Papis said Skeen made an ill-advised aggressive move, which ultimately wrecked both trucks. Needless to say both drivers had verbal exchanges with one another that led to one of Skeen's crew members trying to grab him inside his truck. After Papis gave his post-race interview, he was greeted by a woman who wasn't quite a Max Papis fan! Take a look:

Wow! What did the five fingers say to the face? SMACK! Can she get away with that? Here's Papis response to the blow to the face: Papis did not retaliate.

"What do you do? You don't hit a lady," Papis said. "I was in disbelief. Complete disbelief. If she would've closed her hand it would have been a bad punch, because she hit me so freaking hard. I went to [Skeen] and said, 'I guess we know who's the man in the family here, because the guy didn't even have the [guts] to talk.' "

 

@maxpapis you showed complete class max proud of the way you handled a bad situation you didn't start.... — Bobby Lakatos (@timingloop) September 2, 2013

 

@maxpapis @TheOrangeCone -When a "girl" acts like a man don't that put her on the same ground ? #justasking #jackslap — Michael D. Tolbert (@redbarnfarms) September 2, 2013

I would have to agree with that. If woman can give a lick then she should be able to take a lick. The lady that struck Papis in the face is reported to be Mike Skeen's girl friend.

Watch: Jim Leyland's infamous moonwalk

The coolest manager by far has to be Detroit Tigers, Jimmy Leyland. When he's not openly smoking a cigarette in the clubhouse during major league baseball games, you can catch him showing off his latest dance moves. Prior to Saturday's game between the Tigers and Indians, Leyland had a dance off with the "King of

Pop." Take a look:

As you can see, the Michael Jackson wannabe didn't want any part of the infamous moonwalk done by Leyland! Who's BAD! Could Dancing With the Stars want the services of Jim Leyland? He looks to be a potential candidate! Okay, you got me; I'm lying, the moonwalk was a little shaky!

Someone please ask Dirk what day it is!

The "Hump Day" commercial has gone so viral in north Texas that Dallas Mavericks all-everything, Dirk Nowitzki has gone nuts at Maverick's headquarters. Nowitzki has reincarnated himself as the so-ever popular camel in the GEICO commercial. The seven-foot German strolls throughout the office asking overworked Mark Cuban employees what day it is. Take a look!

Did you hear that laugh? Priceless! Why isn't this guy on tv more. Dirk definitely has a future after his NBA career is over; maybe he can play the next Shaggy on Scooby Doo!

Ballet dancer Cervilio Miguel Amador demonstrates to the Major League Baseball the art of throwing the first pitch with elegance. It was "Cincinnati Ballet Day" at Great American Ballpark on Sunday which had to be a first of its kind. Amador, who defected from Cuba back in 2003, threw a ceremonial pitch to Reds closer Aroldis Chapman, who also defected from Cuba back in 2009. Take a look at the new way of throwing out the first pitch:
