Andre Ethier’s hitting streak went the way of the Buffalo today, which is unfortunate because Frank McCourt needed the advertising revenue and publicity to pay for the janitorial staff.

Hoooooot prospect Eric Hosmer collected a hit today, a consensus top-ten prospect, he is worth a look for fantasy teams that are struggling.  Although sometimes Royals prospects take awhile, see Alex Gordon.

Also, a happy belated birthday to the “Say Hey Kid,” Willie Mays. I have a special connection to Willie, as I easily did three book reports on his autobiography in grade school. Thank god, the teachers never shared notes.

The bearded one, Brian Wilson collected another save today. Look, I was skeptical about the dark beard, but the ladies love it. As my fiance told me today, it reminds me of your back. Well then.  

Cleveland continues its hot and unexpected start. I hate going back to the well, but I just picture an American Express commercial and a manager saying “I think we are a contender right now,” with hyjinx from Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes and Tom Beringer.

On the maybe the "Mayans are not right" line, Lance Berkman did not add to his ridiculous batting average. But weighing in the Mayans favor, he still reached base twice.  

Carlos Pena, who can’t even hit the freaking Mendoza line, slammed his 3rd homer in the past 4 games.

Yovani Gallardo picked a bad day to throw an eight inning 1-hitter. Some bum named Verlander had to go one better. 

Julio Teheren's 1st major league game wasn't the most spectacular thing in the world. He lasted 4.2 innings, giving up 3 runs and only striking out 1. 

Seattle’s Doug Fister gave up a whopping 14 hits in 5.2 innings against the White Sox, but the Sox only converted that into 6 runs, which was plenty for the win since the Mariners scored a big fat zero.

To jump topics, as someone who remebers the early day of Arturs Irbe, Let’s go Sharks, time to take away the title of “Hockey Town USA”.
