Manchester City vs Liverpool, I don’t think it would be any less than loads of excitement as 2 mighty clubs Machester City meets Liverpool. The 2 clubs shared encountered way back in November and have shared 4 goals each at Anfield Park. The fourth place game will be interesting nevertheless at Eastlands.

Roberto Mancini has taught his boys to go more defensive and Liverpool on the offensive. The Sunday’s match is a tough one to predict although a draw is on call by most betters.

Fernando Torres is ruled out because of an injury and Tevez went on a leave. Manchester City will also miss Patrick Vieira who was under suspension. Still the Reds will be hopeful of their win and will not allow Rafa Benitez men to over power them. Liverpool has some promise though in Yossi Benayoun.

The forthcoming league fixture looks crucial for both although Liverpool is in more danger than Man City.

Shaun Tait devastated Pakistan to help his side to sweep one-off Twenty20 International at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Tait’s quickest delivery is understood to be the fastest recorded in Australia and the third-fastest of all time, as only Brett Lee and Shoaib Akhtar have bowled quicker.

Pakistan after winning the toss opted to bat first to restrict the opponent at 127 with Umar Gul took three for 20 with Shoaib Malik snapping two wickets with the cost of 31 runs. The tourist were outstanding in the field – a rare exhibit by the visitors who however has lost each and every match on their awful tour.

Australia bounced back strongly to recover from 5-78 to post 128 all out as only Micheal Clarke (32), David Warner (24) and David Hussey (40 not out) reached double figures. Pakistan never really let the hosts dominat as some tight bowling from Gul (3-20) and Malik (2-31) and rare sharp fielding, which included three run-outs wipe through Aussies line-up.

But Aussies were bounce back with the ball, as besides Tait, Dirk Nannes, Shane Watson and Mitchell Johnson all bowled timely all important maidens and Nannes conceded just two runs in the penultimate over to dent Pakistan. Watson finished with 2-24 and debutant legspinner Steven Smith took 2-34.

Gul (10) was the only Pakistan batsman to reach double figures behind the Akmal brothers as both Kamran (64 off 33 balls) and Umar (21 off 25 balls) helped the side to surpass 100 mark but with timely departure of both blasters, Aussies curb back Pakistan two runs short to secure a sizzling victory.

Aussies skipper Clarke said he had to keep attacking if Australia were to win and paid tribute to his bowlers’ efforts. “We got there. It was an amazing performance with the ball and in the field as well. The guys did really well,” he said. “The Wild Thing (Tait), it’s great to have him back in the team and bowling like that. He led from the front and Taity got the results tonight, but I also thought Dirky, Mitchell and Watto and young Steve Smith on debut did a fanstatic job under a lot of pressure tonight.”

Tait said he was keen to one day surpass Akhtar’s record mark of 161.3 km/h. “There’s only certain moments when you’re bowling in your career when you’ve got a chnace to do it,” he said. “I was saying to the boys before you’ve probably got only two balls in a game – tonight it was my third ball – and I had a crack the next ball after that just to have a go, but after that it’s hard to get up to that pace.” Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik said the defeat was another missed opportunity by his team.”

But IPL official Lalit Modi had announced that players from across the border would miss the third edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2010) because they did not get their visas before a deadline.

Butt said he would talk to Modi to try and get him to reconsider.

“I hope they will consider this latest development,” Butt told AFP.

Modi had ruled out Pakistani players’ participation in the league after the Monday deadline for completing all formalities including obtaining visas for the March 12 to April 25 event elapsed.

Eleven Pakistani players — Gul, Kamran, Tanvir, Misbah, Younus Khan, Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Asif, Shoaib Malik, Salman Butt and Mohammad Hafeez — featured in the first edition of the IPL in 2008.

Carlos Monasterios, Big news this morning: the Mets pitcher was Carlos Monasteries in Rule 5.

Do not worry, not supposed to have heard of him. The fun part is that he took in organizing the Philadelphia Phillies.

Monasteries is a 23-year-old right-hander (will be 24 March) of Venezuela, which produces a hard burden of the 90 low. It was acquired by the Phillies in the deal that sent Bobby Abreu to the Yankees, and has performed with mixed results since.

Originally a starter, he moved to the bullpen in 2009 – which appears 29 times in relief and making 8 starts. Of the 37 games, 35 came to Clearwater in the Florida State League (A). He threw a total of 7 entries for AA Reading last year. He had two saves and pitched a Clearwater.

Overall, his ERA was 3.73 last year more than 89 IP, 75 K, 29 BB, 4 HR, 79 H, to 1.21 WHIP. You can see their full statistics here.

Monasteries Personally I have never seen release, so I can not comment beyond what is available on the interweb super highway. Seems to be a very big leap to go from one ball to MLB, but it has done before.

Latest news updates about , George Steinbrenner cheers for Yankees as Yankees win the Pennant. Yankees outright victory over Angel was in sharp contrast to their outing against the same tem that they played two days ago. At that time Angels had tamed Yankees 6-7 giving a body blow to one of the best teams in the sport.

He was there on the field, applauding for his boys and supporting them throughout.

George Michael Steinbrenner III is an American billionaire businessman, and owner and the former principal executive of Major League Baseball’s New York Yankees. His outspokenness and role in driving up player salaries have made him one of the sport’s most controversial figures.

Steinbrenner is known as a hands-on executive, earning the nickname “The Boss”. His tendency to meddle in daily on-field decisions, and to hire and fire (and sometimes re-hire) managers led then-Yankees skipper Dallas Green to give him the derisive nickname “Manager George”.

While writing about George Steinbrenner, a biographer says, “Abusive, cruel, philanthropist, loyal, disloyal, good samaritan, phony, vengeful, manipulative, vindictive, delusional, a guy with a heart of gold, a real giver, financial deadbeat, bully, kind-hearted… Tampa Bay’s most famous resident, George Steinbrenner, has probably been called all these things and more at one time or another, but rarely have so many conflicting characterizations appeared in the space of one book. Now they have — in George: The Poor Little Rich Boy Who Built The Yankee Empire, the laugh-out-loud biography by St. Petersburg author Peter Golenbock”.

On Halloween 2006, 18-year-old Nikki Catsouras reportedly got into an argument with her father and he took away her car keys.  She then took her father’s black Porsche 911 Carrera and while driving at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour, she lost control of the vehicle and smashed into a concrete tollbooth. She was killed instantly and then just a few days later, nine graphic Nikki Catsouras car crash photos were published all over the internet.

Just days after the accident, her father Christos, who is a real estate agent, reveived an e-mail that he thought was a property listing, but turned out to be pictures of his daughter Nikki’s blood-covered face accompanied by the following caption: “Whoohoo Daddy! Hey Daddy, I’m still alive.”

California Highway Patrol apologized for the leaked photos blaming two CHP dispatchers.  One of the men’s attorney said that he sent the images to relatives and friends “as a cautionary tale” to warn them of the dangers of the road. “Any young person that sees these photos and is goaded into driving more cautiously or less recklessly-that’s a public service.”   One was suspended and the other one ended up quitting.

Since then the Catsourases have spent thousands of dollar in legal fees  attempting to stop the photos from being published and sued the CHP for negligence, invasion of privacy and emotional distress, but in March of 2008, the case was dismissed by a California superior-court judge.
