Nice little comeback for the Yanks tonight. 'Course the Braves bullpen is just awful. Hard to believe it took so long to get the win.

Sox beat up on Pedro pretty good tonight, too. Hope he's not getting ready for his All-Star visit to the DL. 11 straight for the Sox. Longest winning streak in 11 years for them.

Cubbies won pretty convincingly, too. Dusty gonna make it thru the season?

Geeze, are you deliberately ignoring Dee-troit? They won again too; best record in beisbol. They whacked Rog-ah t'other night too. Looked good on him, phony jerk. Looks like the wild card might be coming out of the AL Central instead of the East- for a change.

Where was Billy Buckner last night?

I don't think they exactly "whacked" Roger, did they? He went 6 1/3 innings and only gave up 1 earned run. If Houston scored any runs for him, he'd be 2-0 now instead of 0-2. He probably would've won 25 games last year, too. (The Astros have been shut out 10 times in Roger's starts since '04, according to PTI.) His ERA was around 1.85 or so, the best of his career. Exactly the opposite of his 2001 Cy Young year with the Yanks. His ERA was 3.51; but he got 7 runs/game in run support, so he was the league leader in wins, with 20.

You're driving 800 miles to Detroit?

Deliberately?



Just kidding. New stadium....great young team...wise old coach....what's not to like?

Gotta say though, I kinda miss old Tiger stadium. Saw quite a few games there myself- going waaaaaay back. There was just something about it......

Well we know that he wasn't at the Red Sox/Mets game in Boston yesterday.

And just how do we know that?

[Someone please insert a picture here of the sign hanging on the outfield wall that has the word "interleague" misspelled.]


Chuck would have gone and fixed it or taken it down. No way he is sitting through nine innings staring at that!

Question-- "What has 4,000 eyes and an IQ of 24?"

I thought about Chuck as soon as I saw that sign. Classic.

How about those Bosox?!?! 2 homers for Manny, 2 more for Papi. Coco Crisp looking pretty darn good in CF. Wakefield improving with every start.

How about those Mariners? At least they had a great start last night. . .

Which is more than you can say for the Big Unit?

And the Reds keep plugging along, tied for first with the Cards.

And just so JR doesn't think I'm ignoring the Tigers, they lost yesterday, but still have a game-and-a-half lead in the division.

He's trying. Last week, he signed with the San Diego Surf Dawgs.

"Jose Canseco returned to baseball Thursday when he agreed to a contract with the independent San Diego Surf Dawgs, planning to be their designated hitter and -- get this -- pitch.

The Golden Baseball League announced the deal Thursday night, saying the former AL MVP and Rookie of the Year will make his Surf Dawgs debut Monday night on the road against the Chico Outlaws.

Canseco will make his debut at 10:05 ET on July 3."

Cubbies over the White Sox 15-11? Wow.

Yankees leading the Mets 13-4 in the 4th? Wow.

Big scores in those subway series tonight.

The key word is "independent". Iow, that team doesn't fall under the MLB drug-testing umbrella.

The Cleveland pitcher is the same guy who started against them a couple years ago when they beat the Yanks 22-0.

At least you haven't lost the first 2 to the Devil Rays. Sheesh.

I heard something on ESPN last night about the 19-1 score being the worst in the Yankees' history. I knew that just didn't sound right. I remember the 22-0 game.

Speaking of those freakin' Cubs...

I was watching the Cubs/Astros game, and Brad Ausmus, the 'Stros catcher, was in the middle of an 0-for-40 slump. It even set an Astros team record for the longest 0-for slump by a position player. I did like his quote: "I've been 0-for-40 before, just not consecutively." He then proceeded to hit one off a diving Ramierez's glove for a base hit, and his "supportive" teammates asked the umpire for the ball. I can only imagine the message that'll be written on it...

I guess being a Cub fan makes me more aware of futility.
