Covering all the bases from an unlucky night in baseball ...
Maybe I should lay off Tavarez Bos 7, NY 3 You know, Julian Tavarez has actually pitched pretty well this year, for him at least. 5.27 ERA is nothing to write home about, but if he has the occassional 2 run game Roger won't be missed. That might explain the very depressed state of Yankeedom this morning. Not only was Mussina's start a disaster, but losing to Julian in not good for anyone's pysche. By the way, did you see A-Rod's elbow to the groin of Pedroia?
Davies brings his bat Atl 8, NYM 1 Apparently Kyle had a bat to be feared as a 13-year old. Well, he revisited his youth last night with a big 3-run shot that added more than enough insurances runs for the win. Atlanta is just now 1 win behind New York.
Jake Peavy is way too good SD 5, Chi 1 It's really no fun to watch your team go up against a pitcher of his caliber. When you're just begging for a hit, you know it's not going to be a good night. Of course, it doesn't help when Rich Hill was auditioning for a role in the Home Run Derby.
Giambi failed test for other "stuff" Funny, he didn't seem to mention a failed amphetamine test last week. Is this the case of MLB leaking this information out as another attempt to bury Jason as a result of his statements last week? I sure think so. Why don't we know these things sooner? Either way, this makes Giambini slide further into d-bag category.
Feel free to add on to anything I may have missed.
