- There have been a lot of famous arguments between players and umpires in baseball history, but the one between Paul Lo Duca and plate umpire Marvin Hudson may be this year's best. After the New York Mets catcher disagreed with the umpire's call that made it 0-2, the latter tossed the former, and the former (that's Lo Duca, if you haven't followed) went ballistic. Eyes bugled, bats flew, shin guards soared - and now Lo Duca may be sitting. The rant that the catcher hopes his daughter didn't see has earned him two games. Lo Duca is appealing, but you'd have to think his chances are slim.
- Another absence could felt in New York in the next week, but this one is of gastric proportions. Champion hot dog eater Takeru Kobayashi has won the last six July 4th contests at the Nathan's on Coney Island in New York, but now may not attend this year's competition. Rumors swirled after the death of his mother earlier this year, but now there's a good chance that a recent development will keep him out of contention. Kobayashi has been diagnosed a jaw injury. Right now he's listed as day-to-day, and he's also the betting underdog. Coast2Coast will follow all the developments (and maybe even be there live for the eating extravaganza).
