"0-7 with 12 LOB? HAHAHAHAHA"
Yankees 3 Blue Jays 2 – A week ago, the Yanks were staring at a 5 game losing streak and about to embark on a 6 game road trip. Well, the Yanks completed that trip winning both series after knocking off the Fraudtastic Blue Jays. CC Sabathia pitched another 8 strong innings, and looks to be regaining his form and earning his paycheck. Welcome to AL BEast play, Jays.
Angels 5 Red Sox 4 – Completing the trifecta, the Sox lost to Anaheim. According to Mike and Mike, it was the first time the Sox, Bruins and Red Sox all lost on the sameday since May 17, 1992. David Ortiz continues to show that he sucks without Manny behind him. And by behind him, I mean shooting him up with a little prick. And by little prick I mean…
Twins 6 Tigers 5 - Justin Verlander was badass yesterday afternoon, the Tigers bullpen? Not so much. The Tigers bullpen has never got out of meltdown mode ever since the 2006 World Series. Surprised Leyland hasn’t had a heart attack in the dugout.
Cubs 11 Padres 3 - Adrian Gonzalez is so damn good, as he hit his Major League leading 14th HR. Too bad he plays for the pathetic Padres, who were drubbed by the Cubs. Just looked at the stats, I have the two best HR hitters in baseball on my team with Gonzalez and Carlos Pena. I drafted both kinda late, I rule.
Brewers 5 Marlins 3 - The Brewers continue their hot streak, winning 8 of their last 10. The Marlins continue to fall into nothingness. April seems like eons ago for both of these teams.
Rangers 3 Mariners 2 - Felix Hernandez did his best Johan Santana imitation yesterday, by throwing 7 shutout innings, then having his bullpen suck it in the 9th. Matt Harrison went the distance for the Rangers, holding the Mariners to only 2 runs. Hank Blalock hit a solo HR, and that was followed by a walk-off 2-Run HR by Chris Davis to win the game for Texas.
Indians 11, Rays 7 – Just check out the hitting studs.

The Red Sox would be better off if Ortiz got suspended for 50 games like Manny did.

I think Ortiz will be headed to the DL soon with a pretend injury.

.618?

it is real, he just doesn’t have the juice anymore to make him better.

sparty–I was looking to pick up Adrian Gonzalez a bit later…might’ve had him cued up for my next pick when you nabbed him…nice one.
I now have MLB network (at least for this season) and their recaps are better than ESPN since they just play the clips with the real announcing for it instead of talking through the clips themselves…might be turning that on every morning during breakfast.

rek-MLB Network is awesome. Plus they have HR.

The Orioles still exist? I thought they were a myth.

oh. granted, A-Rod has played 1 week, but whatever.

Dodgers still have the best record, amazingly. As has been said many times before, who hasn’t used ‘roids? Does anyone really care anymore? Keep the testing and suspensions in place, and let the stats and wins from the past stand.

I agree Fiesta. People are so outraged over this when it seems everyone was in on it. The key is to have good testing and then get on with it and not worried whether some bullshit record was broken unfairly. How do we know Ruth or Maris weren’t using whatever was available in their days?
(Quote)
R’roids were just part of the games’ progression, until the rules decided to stop it. Most other sports have the same technological evolution: swimming with the new suits, golf clubs and balls, shoes, bicycles, cars, etc.
Each sports decides what is allowed, and usually upholds results with the new technologies before they decide that ban that technology.

Good point, CD. Ruth was high on Coke with coke. You never know.

I know this is non baseball but I read Shammy’s column and he actually recommended that the Pac-10 start having games at 12 eastern time, 9am pacific. Dude that doesn’t even come close to working
