MLB - Well Interleague play is back again and hooray for Colorado who swept the mighty Royals in a game that wouldn't be possible if not for this 'innovation'....It must be a bad time to be a Giants fan, not only being swept by your bay area rivals but seriously, how can anyone give up 16 runs to Oakland?....whats up with Andruw Jones? Looks like he's stopped wondering why his parents don't like the letter 'e' and is absolutely raking it right now and boy do The Braves need it with their injuries....It must be tough when you can only hit .275 with 19 HR and 66 RBI but somehow Manny has managed to keep his spot in the Boston lineup when most teams would be sending him down to AAA. Honestly, who was it who started the whole Manny is struggling thing anyway? One things for sure, those people who doubted him are quiet now....Yankees avoid being swept by The Mets thanks to Braden Looper once again showing he is not a closer. Allows to many hits (especially to lefties), doesn't strike out enough guys despite having some serious gas and lefties are hitting .322 against him. It was also nice to see A-Rod score a clutch run so I guess thats him done for the year....Great to see Prior pitch 6 strong innings. You have to wonder if we'll get to see what he truly is capable of considering all the injuries he's had so far in his career....I don't care how many fans are going to these games, I still hate Interleague play and want it to suffer the same fate as Bambi's mum.....
Minor League Baseball - What happened to Kevin Barker? He used to be a top prospect but he's now 29 and on a tare down in Syracuse.....In Birmingham, Chris Young continues to spank it for The Barons with two home runs against Carolina and with Bobby Jenks earning his 17th save (why on Earth did Anaheim let him go?) you have to like the direction The White Sox organisation is going....Ryan Zimmerman is doing alright, with a streak of 8-13 with 2 HR and 6 RBI he has quickly been moved up to AA after just a month in The Nationals organisation....How's Delmon doing? Only leading the Southern League in most offensive catergories....
Japanese Baseball - Always nice to see a rookie do well, no matter what league and with the help of Tomoya Satozaki and Benny Agbayani (yes he is still alive), Yasutomo Kubo got a shut out win against The Orix Buffaloes as Chiba Lotte Marines continue to set the pace atop the Pacific Division....It must be great to play at the Yahoo Dome, at least it was for Keizaburo Tanoue who held The Nippon Ham Fighters to one run in a 5-1 Hawk win....Eagles 16 Lions 9 in 10 innings with a combined 33 hits over 5 hours 29 minutes. I hope the Japanese have comfy chairs.....
