Yeah, those poor, first place in their division Tigers. You really gotta feel sorry for them.

Geeze, what would you two do if you both weren't in first place in your respective divisions?😃

Well, unlike Chuck, I'd be real quiet. 😉

Not sure you ever heard the answer, but the ruling was "running lane interference," as the batter-runner did not have both feet within the running lane to first base and subsequently interfered with the first baseman's opportunity to make the play. The ball is dead, the runner is out, and other runners (if any) return if the interference is not the third out (as I think it was in this play).

Rule 6.05(k)

and Dodger and Royal and Mariner and Twin and Philly and Met. . . I don't see you busting Rocky's stones over this.

BTW, Shelley Duncan?

Looked like Mariano and Dice-K were equally bad yesterday.

Mets scored 5 in the first, 5 in the ninth and nothing in between. First time any team's done that in 50 years.

Well that's an easy one. I like Rocky. 🙄

Pretty cool, eh

Which brings up today's news in the wonderful world of beisbol......

MLB is thinking of sending both Seattle and the BoSox to Tokyo to open the 2008 AL season. Great idea (as long as they don't bring 'em back).

Oregon State is talking about sending their team and another team to do some exhibition in China. Something about making the world series truly world...

China?

Maybe they can bring back something to eat or a nice painted toy for Chuck?

Thanks Dan!! And Offerman may have been on the Mariner roster for a while, but he acts like a RedSox! 😠

Sox beat up on Tampa Bay. They now lead the AL in shut outs. Yankees lost, dropping a game to the Sox. So that's good.

I saw a great sign at the Yankee game, tho. It had the Yankee logo in a car mirror and said, "Warning, Boston fans, objects may be closer than they appear." Kind of clever.

And how about this guy from Arizona, Brandon Webb? Friday night, he pitched his third straight shut-out. He's thrown 42 consecutive scoreless innings. He's 18 innings away from breaking Orel Hershiser's record. When a reporter informed of this, Webb responded, "Just two more shutouts? Oh, I should have that no problem. It's in the back pocket," while rolling his eyes.

I don't know about the Beavs, but the Ducks now could afford playing on the moon with the $100 million Phil Knight just pledged to them.

Geez - if he's got a "spare" $100 million, you'd think he could afford to annex into Beaverton! (inside joke for Portland area people)

Gee, Chuckles, you left out the Bobby Jenks story. He tied the MLB record for most consecutive batters retired(41), held by the immortal Jim Barr(who?). The 42nd batter got a hit, ending his chances to set a new record. I'm sure that all of the numerous(4) White Sox fans around are upset that you missed this in your daily report.

And I see that Wiley Mo Pena of Washington just homered for the second straight game. Seeing that Bah-ston is having big trouble with their power stats this year, ya think maybe they could trade for Pena to get a big bat in their lineup? I hear that you got a spare relief pitcher available that ain't doing much.😃

Jim Barr was Roseanne's first husband. He died of suffocation. 😉

Love story of the week......

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7141730

The young lad arranges with the Jumbotron operator at the Astros game last night to show him getting down on his knees and proposing to his honey. His honey sez "f**k you" and dumps her popcorn on his head before stomping up the aisle and out of the stadium.

It's kinda nice to read a sports story these days with a happy ending, isn't it?
