Day 415

• The Kentucky Derby is today -- and Shiekh Mohammed's undefeated horse is the 2-1 favorite.
• And more coming out on the Roberto Alomar/AIDS angle:  Settled a lawsuit in 2009 with an ex-girlfriend over having the disease and having unprotected sex with her.
• Then, the ex-wife sues him in 2010 for the same thing!  Hat-tip to my anonymous baseball-historian friend.  Something is BAD WRONG here.   
  
• Two years in a row now:  An EFL points deduction will result in the probable demotion of a Championship team to League One (third-highest tier).  The apparent victim this year:  Sheffield Wednesday, docked 12 points to start the year, is now three points behind Derby County, the lowest team safe, with only one match to play (at Derby County!).  And there's a team one point behind them with now two matches in hand!  Wednesday's points-deduction came as a result of Sustainability Rules violations -- gee, does this not sound familiar??  To stay up, Swansea must beat Derby County, then Sheffield Wednesday must beat Derby County, and Rotherham United cannot get five points in their final three matches themselves.
• And another reason to root against the undefeated favorite today:  Essential Quality's jockey -- Luis Saez.  THAT Luis Saez, who was disqualified for almost taking out half the field with Maximum Security two years ago!!!
