Completely unrelated to anything, but I found this to be absolutely precious:

One of the dogs rescued from Michael Vick's dogfighting ring now being used to cheer up kids going through chemotherapy.

Don't look now, but the Brewers are only 5 games out of first. The Cards are only 3 1/2, but screw the Cardinals.

It's amazing what improved pitching will do. Whodathunk?

Thanks for posting that. It was a pretty good fan's lament. Have you heard "Green and Gold" by the Appliances SFB? It's the pinnacle of the genre. I liked the little triumphant "Mario Mendoza once hit .245!" Sorta shoe-horned in there like they forgot it in the first draft. Litt...

What horrible pitching tonight, by both teams. Suppan was godawful, and Liz was about as bad.

Bedard's name keeps popping here in Chicago, alongside C.C., Randy Wolf, and A.J. Burnett. I expect this talk to grow louder once Zambrano announces he's out for the season or some such shit.

Unbelievable.

I don't really know that they are on the right track. Despite their good start, they're only a half-game away from last place. Hopefully management recognizes that they're years away from contending and moves every veteran and arbitration-eligible player for what they can get. Well, I wasn't really...

I doubt he'd be #1 and I know he wouldn't have 800. He would at least be tied with Ruth and within 10 of Aaron by now. I don't know. He was at 438 through 2000. So, perhaps 800 was a bit lofty, yes. Regardless, his numbers should certainly be considerably more lofty. Looking at the list of all-time...

With Baltimore's 32nd win, I think it's safe to say they won't lose the 100 games they were expected to lose. The only way that this is a good thing for Orioles fans is if the team sells high on their veteran players before the trade deadline. They really don't have any high-price vets, except for ...
