    Create-a-caption: Fireplace tennis, anyone?
    By J.E. Skeets
    Ball Don't Lie

    Manu Ginobili and Fabricio Oberto celebrate fellow countryman Juan Martin del Potro's recent U.S. Open victory the only way they know how — with a game of Fireplace Tennis, "an ancient Argentine game played inside a living room using hot coals and shovels." Best caption wins a second serve. Good luck, Serena.

    San Antonio Spur Manu Ginobili re-injured his left ankle Thursday playing a game of fireplace tennis. Doctors are unclear on the extent of the injury at this point, which Ginobili himself described: "I served the coal to Fabri, and when he returned it I tried to run around my backhand and my shoe got stuck in the carpet."

    Spurs offiials were unavailable for comment. Don Harris has promised exclusive coverage tonight at 5:00, 6:00 and 10:00.

    (although it should really have been: "Don Harris copy/pasted this news first while taking his nap")

    (Ginobili)"Damn it Fab! What did I tell you about letting Eva in the house!!??!? You know Tony hates it when we pretend to play tennis in my living room while she tries on outfits in front of us when he's in Europe!"
    (Fab) "But it's just so awesome! Damn she's tiny!"
