In the NL West: Dodgers-Seattle just under way; Oakland-Arizona tonight; Angels beat the holy hell out of Rockies. Gianta 3 1/2 behind for now.

Comments: Ummmmm, good pitching beats good hitting most of the time.

Injury news: The horrific Edlefsen back to AAA where he maybe belongs; some bloke called up. His name escapes me. Jimbo von Crammy Poo, or something like that. George Kontos? Is that it? Jesus Christ. Never heard of him. Oh wait, I looked it up on this Internet thing; Kontos came from the Yankees in the trade for Chris Stewart (who is getting a lot of playing time in the bigs, by the way, good for him).

Baseball quote of the day: "Sympathy is something that shouldn't be bestowed upon the Yankees. Apparently it angers them." (Bob Felller)
