@27, Fireworks -- Well, no offense taken. I don't hate Francesa, exactly -- I just think he's a teensy bit (way, way, way) too pleased with himself. And sometimes he seems like a self-caricature.

Jeter's eligible to come off the DL on June 29th, which is the second game of a three game home series against Milwaukee. Beginning on July 1, the Yanks have a six game roadie against the Mets and Indians, then a four game homestand against the Rays leading up to the All-Star game. It's possible the Yankees could milk this thing and send Jeter on a rehab assignment which could eat up part of the road trip and hope he gets the hits he needs in those four games with Tampa. Immediately after the AS game is an eight game road trip, so it's unlikely he'd get the hit at home regardless of how the Yankees handle it.

@19
Duke, Mark Reynolds will get respect from the Jays this year. He is 3 for 14 against Toronto so far with 2 HR including a grand slam against Ricky Romero.

How did he blow it? 🙂

@22/ John A. - I agree, Wake is not close to being a HOFer, but definitely in the "Hall of Very Very Good".

The list of 1-0 games from this season is telling of the failures of the Twins' offense. If I count correctly, they show up 4 times on this list. Sheesh...

@21, Lawrence -- My opinion of Wakefield is actually quite positive. Over 3,000 IP with a 106 ERA+ is quite a career.

@18/ John Autin Says:
"@12, @17 -- Some Red Sox records that Wakefield already holds:
-- Starts, 414
-- Innings, 2,906.2
-- Batters Faced, 12,526
Wakefield is not among the Red Sox leaders in any of the "quality" measures."

John A., I agree with your opinion of Wakefield, but I also think that his holding the all-time Red Sox record in the above three categories is very impressive, even if they are "attendance" records.

Speaking of extra base hits, it was the Tigers' first game this year without any extra base hits.

Mark Reynold spoiled everything with a 1-4 performance, raising his avg ro .204. At this pace, he might hit .220
