Hope you like baseball, because that's about all we have to the next month.
As fun as it is to copy and paste old headlines, it gets a little old writing: Cubs pitcher has shoulder problems. No time to worry just yet, the rival Cardinals have essentially their entire starting staff on the DL and Chicago still sports the best record in all of baseball. .
That record is in perile with another game against the Rays tonight, who for the second consecutive night edged the Cubs by a run with fine pitching and clutch hitting. This team is more than legit..
Andy Sonnastine is now 8-3, allowing just three runs which was enough after his battering mates took advantage of a shaky Zambrano in the third inning with four straight RBI singles.
It's been fun to watch these two teams play and actually hear a loud and boisterious Tropicana Field. The thought of a potential World Series matchup makes one's head explode, so we'll stop here. After all, the Rays are certain to get to a WS before the Cubbies. Rays 5, Cubs 4
Gangsta Manuel Gets Win No. 1 Maybe this is the attitude needed to survive in Queens. Interim manager Jerry Manuel is choosing to deal with Jose Reyes slightly different than Willie Randolph: "I told him the next time you do it I'm going to get my blade out and cut you - right out there on the field. I'm a gangster now. You act gangster on me I'm going to have to get you." Well then. Meanwhile, the Mets did something that haven't done a whole lot all season, come back from a 9th inning deficit to win. Damon Easley will save them! Mets 5, Angels 4
J.D. Drew is the Masterson When JD Drew is on fire, you know you're going to have issues beating the Bo Sox. Drew was only a triple away from the cycle going 4-for-5 with 4 runs batted in. Justin Masterson continued his consisten five innings of good work and is now 4-1. Little doubt right now Boston is the best team in baseball with these efforts from unexpected players. Sox 7, Phillies 4
A Dose of Zito Tigers continue "streaking" back towards .500 and a dose of Barry Zito will always provide healthy benefits. Placido Polanco can't be stopped of late, tacking on four more hits and giving Zito his league leading 11th loss. Tigers 7, Giants 2
