What they might be doing ...

Justin Morneau might be wearing a Canucks jersey and finding a comfortable spot in front of his TV on the Twins' day off.

Your $2 bet from Saturday might be the best investment you ever made if you hit the superfecta at the Belmont ($74,052) or the fourth race at Canterbury ($45,358.60).

Shane Carwin might be wishing he hadn't filled in for Brock Lesnar at UFC 131, considering what his face looked like after Junior Dos Santos was done with him.

FIVE THINGS

Tony La Russa managed his 5,000th game Friday, second all-time to Connie Mack's 7,755. No active manager is near either of them; the top five:

• Jim Leyland, Tigers, 3,078

• Dusty Baker, Reds, 2,757

• Bruce Bochy, Giants, 2,640

• Mike Scioscia, Angels, 1,849

• Terry Francona, Red Sox, 1,847

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"I've been pumping his tires since the series started, and I haven't heard one nice thing he's had to say about me."

-- Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo, griping that Bruins counterpart Tim Thomas hasn't shown him any respect.
