Blogging the bases from Monday's MLB action ...
Red Sox 3, D Rays 0 The knuckler was nasty. Tim Wakefield allowed just 2 hits, putting a halt to the Yankees escalation up the AL East, at least for a night.
Mariners 4, Twins 3 Even Mariners fans are shocked Richie Sexson is a positive contributor to a playoff hunt at this stage of the season.
A's 7, Tigers 2 Once Detroit has fulfilled it's obligations to the AL West, perhaps they can rest assured they'll remain in the AL Central lead. Tigers are 13-15 vs the West. When you're a reliever and your nickname is the "Gas Can," you've got issues. You have to wonder how Grilli keeps getting the call.
Pirates 3, Giants 1 (Game 1) You have to applaud Matt Cain for keeping it together this year. A guy with a 3.77 ERA has no business with a losing record, let alone 4-13.
2008 Likely the End for Barry Bonds Now there's a countdown I wouldn't mind seeing scroll across ESPN's bottomline.
Steve Phillips, Moron On baseball tonight he predicted that the Yankees and Mets would both miss the playoffs entirely and the Rockies would win the NL Wild Card. So what does that mean exactly? I think you know.
