[MantMaris]

Yanks get the win but a tough day. CC to the DL with a strained groin. Pettitte will join CC. 6 weeks with an ankle fracture.

 

[vwnut13]

Mastroianni with a HR.

Sweet!

 

[gt2590]

Weaver and Hammel should be fun tonite...

and Phils are going to use all Relievers tonite. Utley's first game back too.

 

[Frow]

Boooo.....game isn't televised today so watching it on Gameday.....but hey while I was writing this Butler just hit HR#15 to pull ahead...WOOT

 

[Pastretta]

Cubs pitching got smashed and I took the staff in ESPN Baseball Challenge. Cubs only have -44 points :benson:

Rizzo 1-4...Ike Davis took all his anger from last night and destroyed the baseball today along with Wright, Hairston & Murphy.

 

[Topnotchsy]

Wow, a lot going on today...

Mets score 17... that will end a losing streak in a hurry.

Desmond Jennings dropped from the lead-off spot (as he should have been) and has 3 hits.

Cano 3-4 with his 18th homer. He's red hot with 7 homers in his last 10 games.

Lester is now 5-5. He's been giving up a lot of hits and not K'ing a ton of guys but interestingly his control over his last half a dozen starts is as good as it has ever been which might mean his stuff is a little lacking this season...

 

[Topnotchsy]

Lincecum with a great outing. Hopefully turning things around.

 

[gt2590]

Utley HR (1) in his first AB back.

Also, HR Ruiz (11). He's out Posey-ing Buster so far!

And Jarrod dominates again and Cespedes HR (9) as A's win again. Too bad they can't get a "Mulligan" for those coupla bad Weeks awhile back...

 

[noaskiecards]

Hopefully Harper will break out of his slump soon:

Harper's last 12 games:
9/48 (3 2B, 6 1B)
.188
15 K, 4 BB
3 SB
0 HR, 1 RBI, 2 Runs

OPS has dropped from .943 to .837 (a 106 point drop in average) in addition to a 25 point drop in batting average

With that said, he is STILL having a very impressive year...hopefully he reverts back to his old self though

 

[gt2590]

Weaver and Hammel should be fun tonite...

For the Angels! 13-1 win for LAA and Weaver has looked great so far in his return.

HR Derby all over the place tonite...

 

[darocker80]

Lincecum with a great outing. Hopefully turning things around.

After his stronger outing vs the A's I predicted this. Great line 7 IP 4H 0ER 2BB 8K. Hopefully he keeps it up!
