Go Sox!!!

[Will9]

A look the the NL players hitting over .300 shows that the list is dominated by Cardinals

Chipper Jones 		ATL 		.369
[B][color=red]Albert Pujols 		STL 		.352[/color][/B]
Matt Holliday 		COL 		.346
Lance Berkman 		HOU 		.332
Xavier Nady 		PIT 		.330
Ryan Theriot 		CHC 		.314
Conor Jackson 		ARI 		.313
[B][color=red]Yadier Molina 		STL 		.307
Ryan Ludwick 		STL 		.307[/color][/B]
Orlando Hudson 		ARI 		.305
Jose Reyes 		NYM 		.305
Carlos Lee 		HOU 		.304
Brian McCann 		ATL 		.303
Cristian Guzman 	WAS 		.303
[B][color=red]Skip Schumaker 		STL 		.302[/color][/B]
Ryan Braun 		MIL 		.300

Aaron Miles is also batting .317, but he doesn't have the enough plate appearances to get on the official list.

On top of that, the only 2 players in all of baseball with slugging percent over .600 are Ludwick with .623 and Pujols with .618.

I'm going to chant OBP until you change you chart (Cards may be leading in that too, you never know)

HUGE win for the White Sox vs the Tigers tonight. Coming back from down 6-1 early to tie it, falling behind 8-6 in the 14th, then winning on a walk-off HR by Swisher with two out.

HUGE!!

6 game losing streak...

[EPW]

9 game losing streak...

[Arrian]

Mussina wins his 15th. 7 shutout vs. the Rangers in Arlington. Wow.

I sure hope he gets to 20.

The next series looks hideous. LAA, at home, and they get to face Ian Kennedy and Dan Giese. Eep. Yankee pitching is in tatters.

Speaking of which... Joba to DL with "rotator cuff tendonitis." GULP.

Damn you Dan Wheeler. On a game where Sonnastine actually pitches pretty nicely.

[Ben Kenobi]

Wow, I thought the Jays were out of it, and now they are back to 4 games over.

I hope they can keep winning.

[Imran Siddiqui]

And 9.5 games back .

They are still "out of it".

[snoopy369]

Well, hopefully the White Sox can help them a bit (and more importantly, the Rays) tonight ... I'll be watching from the club seats

[Ben Kenobi]

And 9.5 games back .

They are still "out of it".

7 back of Boston.

[EPW]

A's broke their 10 game losing streak. Ziegler is doing great, 37 scoreless innings to start his career.

Yeah, 7 back of the Wild Card in the beginning of August is right where you want 'em!

The Sox-Sox game was fantastic... well, except for Dotel and Carrasco making it, erm, interesting. The winning run (which at the time made it 4-0) was scored on a very silly play ... AJ Pierzynski hits the ball down the right field line, with Orlando Cabrera on first. Drew retrieves it and hits the cutoff man (which he failed to do earlier in the game, nearly costing a run), which strands AJ between first and second, with OC on third. AJ realizes OC is past third, and gets into a long rundown - while OC scores, nobody on Boston paying attention

Now, if our bullpen could just keep itself together ...

[Imran Siddiqui]

On the threat of jinxing him, I just have to say WOW about Cliff Lee! Who could have predicted this? 16-2 and a 2.45 ERA for a team that is 52-64, and especially with Lee's recent history. This is just absolutely amazing.
