i'm at 1-4 right now...yanks, rangers, sawx and cubs to go along with the 'stros... and the 'stros are the only ones ahead... but never fear...even though we're tossing a shutout, we probably have the pen coming up...and we are on the road ... that's gotta be scary in itself

Well, it ain't over yet, but it sure isn't looking very good.

On a positive note, the Padres are leading the Reds 10-5 after 7.

Sawx won, only 8.5 games out

A football score for the Angels - Texas game...

Believe it or not... not

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said his team can't handle a big salary addition like Cliff Lee, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reported Monday.

Club co-owner Hal Steinbrenner has stated a goal to keep the Yankees' payroll under the $189 million luxury tax line. New York opened the season with a $209 million payroll and already has $119 million committed before raises to Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, Phil Hughes, Brett Gardner and David Robertson kick in, as well as potential contracts for free agents Mariano Rivera and Nick Swisher, leaving little wiggle room should the Yankees remain committed to the $189 million line.

Oh my, the Dodgers are active...

Nearly eight years after losing Shane Victorino to the Philadelphia Phillies in the Rule 5 draft, the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired the switch-hitting outfielder Tuesday morning near the trading deadline.

Shane Victorino is batting .261 with nine homers in 101 games. (US Presswire)In exchange for reliever Josh Lindblom and Double-A right-hander Ethan Martin, the Dodgers added Victorino to play left field and bat leadoff...

Just heard Hunter Pence is now a SF Giant...ugh
