***WHAT'S IN A NAME***
The San Francisco Giants are interested in the Marlins Dan Uggla. I don't know how good a player he is, but is there a better candidate for a name change in the league? I don't believe there are too many endorsement possibilities in your future, Dan.
***GOOD PITCHING BEATS GOOD HITTING...SOMETIMES***
7 teams scored 10 or more runs yesterday, led by the White Sox' 17, Dodgers 16 and the Tigers 13. Tampa Bay scored 10 and lost when Cleveland came up with 7 runs in the bottom of the 9th.
***BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL***
It belongs to the Dodgers, 31-15. Sure do miss Manny, don't they? There's $45 million well spent. Don't count on too many MVP votes, Manny.
***HE'S SMART AGAIN***
Apparently, there is a direct relationship between a manager's IQ and his team's won-loss record. Jim Leyland of the Tigers, is smart again after being "dumb" for two years. The "dumb" title probably belongs to the reporter who asked Leyland, "How do you feel about your team, now that your leading the Central Division?" What's he supposed to say? "We are? With these clowns? Can't be."
***THE RAYS PHENOM IS BACK***
David Price, last years World Series star is back up with the Tampa Bay Rays again. Yesterday, he threw 100 pitches, struck out 6, walked 5 and gave up two runs...all in 3 innings. He left with a 10-2 lead but couldn't get a win because he didn't last 5 innings. No matter; the Rays bullpen managed to blow the lead and the game anyway.
***SHEFFIELD HELPING THE METS***
Gary Sheffield is batting clean-up and is really a force in the Mets line up. Don't worry, sports fans, his 'sparkling' personality will take over soon and he'll be irritating people again.
***HAS ABREU LOST A STEP?***
Probably not. He's hitting .303 with 15 stolen bases. No homeruns, though, and he probably can't even tell you the color of the right field wall in Anaheim, because he hasn't gotten close enough yet.
