The Rays win again and are at .500 for the season (9-9), even with Longo and Damon out of the lineup with injuries. I'm not gonna lie... that 1-8 start REALLY sucked the optimism from me, but they're playing with a lot more heart it seems, especially since the Manny fiasco.

During today's Rockies game, they did one of those in-game interviews with Jim Tracy. Thought it was funny that he kept referring to Jorge De La Rosa as "George".

Crawford looks to be getting his game back, and the Red Sox are 10-11. Just a few games behind the Yanks, and it looks as though we will have a very competitive AL East this year

I'm too hefty for my slacks. The zippers off it's tracks. I've stretched it to the maa-a-a-a-x.

While on the subject of C.C., as much as I was hurt by him leaving, I found it incredibly tasteless for LA fans to toss crumpled up dollar bills at him, as if he ever said "hey, I'm playing in L.A. and that's the end of that!"

Nice to see "Big Game James" go for the complete game twice in a row. He's now the all-time Rays leader in CG's.... 7, or Roy Halladay's yearly total.

There's that Pepsi Max commercial that spoofs "Field of Dreams". CC Sabathia walks into the corn rows and finds guys like Randy Johnson, Ozzie Smith and RICKEY HENDERSON. But what the hell does it have to do with Pepsi Max? Oh, there's a Pepsi machine there.... because....


OK, so I really just wanted to work in a RICKEY HENDERSON sighting.

All these gosh darn Pepsi Max commercials tricked me into buying a 12-pack, and then I realized... it tastes just the fucking same as any Diet Pepsi, or Pepsi One, or any other gimmicky low-calorie cola. Tastes more like flat Coke than a Pepsi.


Edit: Like we needed good excuses to make Rickey Henderson references to begin with?

Francisco Liriano tosses a no-hitter against the offensively anemic Chicago White Sox, walking 6 in the process. Not as bad as last year when Edwin Jackson did it walking 9 for the D'Backs last year against my Rays (Grumble, Grumble...), or A.J. Burnett doing it walking 10 while playing for the Marlins.

Or like Matt Young's 1991 losing-effort no-hitter, where he walked 7. He was in my queue for "(Professional) Baseballers of Lesser Note", but this is all he was famous for. And watch out-- I'm probably bringing that series back, soon.

More info, here:
Baseball Almanac- Matt Young's No-hitter

I remember Andy Hawkins' no-hitter with the Yankees was full of NY errors, but I can't find how many guys he walked.

5 walks. They commited three errors in the 8th, allowing 4 unearned runs and got shutout 4-0. Ouch. The 1990-91 Yankees really stunk.

Justin Verlander tosses his second career no-hitter, this time against Toronto. He had a perfect game going into the 8th, but a questionable ball 4 on a full count broke that up. Questionable because the umps usually give ANYTHING close to the pitcher in that situation.

Growing up through the last Yankee dynasty, it's noticably hard for me to watch guys like Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada struggling so much. I don't think I screamed louder for a 6th inninghome run than I did earlier for Jeter. I just want him to start producing so he can shut the skeptics up. Posada is still ice cold, though.

The Pirates are over .500... at 18-17. I'm sure no one expected that much out of them.

Mitch Williams actually has a decent column up on MLB.com, or as decent as his writing skills are. In a nut-shell, it' about Jose Reyes and his tendencies to celebrate achievements during games that comes across as immature and unprofessional. If it's not te biggest out of the game, then don't celebrate, and usually that out is a game ender, or, say, haulting a no outs bases loaded jam in the 8th. Something crucial.


It reminds me of Joba Chamberlain, who celebrated strike outs for no reason other than to do it. And playrs got pissed. And of all people, Aubrey Huff showed him up in retaliation. Aubrey Huff before he started hitting well again.

...or the kicker from the Tampa Bay Bucs who would shit his pants in delight every time he made a measly field goal.

I get a little sick of those guys who get a single, then point to the sky and hold their crucifix necklace when they get to first. Yes! Your Deity is proud that you're now 1-for-4 and hitting .234!



Watched MLB Network this morning and have to say that Kevin Millar looks like he should be in a country band with that bleached blonde top and facial hair.

Oh, and today's Rockies/Mets game in Denver is officially rained out. I'm sure the Mets announcers will refer to it as a "SNOW out", simply because it's cold.

Yes! This is the year the streak ends! Raise the Jolly Roger as Capt. Clint sets sail for October with the Battlin' Buccos and...

Current record as of Wednesday:
Pittsburgh Pirates 18-18 .500 3.0 GB


Bitch. You jinxed them.
