Last month, Amber went before the judge in her drug case — saying she’d rather go back behind bars than comply with the terms of her treatment program.

AMANDA BYNES CHARGED WITH DUI: TMZ.com reported that Amanda Bynes has officially been charged with DUI stemming from her April arrest when she sideswiped a car and allegedly tried to flee the scene.

First Nationals Shut Out Kearney

Guthrie, Rockies Ripped by D-Backs (LISTEN LIVE TONIGHT on ESPN Radio 1410)

Another stinkbomb of an outing from Jeremy Guthrie and a complete lack of offense doomed the Colorado Rockies in a 10-0 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks last night in Phoenix. Guthrie failed to make it out of the fourth inning, allowing seven runs on eleven hits, including a pair of two-run home runs. The Rockies’ opening day starting pitcher saw his ERA for the season soar to 6.35. On the other side, Guthrie’s mound counterpart, Arizona’s Ian Kennedy, was utterly dominant, scattering five hits and striking out 12 hitters over his six shutout innings of work. The Rockies and Diamondbacks play the rubber game of their three-game set tonight in Phoenix, with Josh Outman taking the mound for the Rockies against Arizona’s Wade Miley. ESPN Radio has the action with pregame coverage at 8:05 and first pitch at 8:40.

MLB Draft Day 2: Husker Recruit Picked By Braves Will Skip College and Sign

Two days and 15 rounds of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft are complete, and while no Huskers have been selected, one high-profile Husker recruit will be skipping college for a professional payday. Justin Black, an outfielder from Billings, Montana who was ranked as one of the top high school prospects in the nation, was picked in the fourth round by the Atlanta Braves. Black told head coach Darin Erstad yesterday that he’ll be passing up his Nebraska scholarship for a 300,000 signing bonus from the Braves. One other player with ties to the state did hear his name called yesterday. Creighton University pitcher Ty Blach was selected in the fifth round by the San Francisco Giants. The lefty was the ace of the Blue Jays this past season and finished his career with the second-best ERA in school history.

Tulowitzki Leads in All-Star Balloting

Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki leads all National League shortstops in All-Star game balloting so far. Tulowitzki is currently on the disabled list, recovering from a groin strain, but has batted .287 with 8 homers and 27 RBI in 47 games this season. His lead over St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Rafael Furcal is just over 20,000 votes. No other Rockie ranks in the top five in votes at their position, though Carlos Gonzalez is thirteenth among all outfielders.
