Baseball Update

1) O's losing to yankers again tonight. I tuned in last night just in time to see Tejada's 2 run error lose it for the Os who will need to go 65-45 the rest of the way to make my 80 win prediction.

2) Phils' offense has hit the skids. Crazy -- 14 runs in the last 11 games. No one could've predicted that. The Braves have taken over 1st in the NL East. Phils need J Roll back and Utley's gotta start hitting again. But count on Ryan Howard to explode as the weather heats up in Philly.

3) Junior is retiring. 1st ballot Hall-of-Famer, no question.

4) Get to know Ubaldo Jimenez. The Rockies' 26 year old righty SP is 1/3rd of the way through the best season for a starter in 42 years.

don't forget the umpire robbing armando galarraga of the 21st perfect game in baseball history on the would-be last out.

oh man, i was just going to add that comment. what a terrible call! as Kenny Singleton said on the yes network -- if it's a bang bang play for the last out of a perfect game, give it to the pitcher! *BUT* (he continued), that wasn't even a bang bang play.

And don't forget Strasburg bringing arguably the most exciting night of baseball in DC since 1933.

as Brendan said, the O's (Royals) picked a bad year to only lose 98 games.

Gasburg looks like the real deal. What's the over under on the date of Harper's MLB debut?
