DID YOU KNOW...

TODAY'S NUMBER IS SIX

The Seattle Mariners used six pitchers to ho-hit the Dodgers, 1-0.

It took only six innings for Stephen Strasburg to strike out 13 Red Sox.

After six batters in the third inning, Johan Santana had given up four home runs,

Last week, Santana made history.  By the sixth inning last night, he WAS history.

## Can someone explain this to me?  Tony LaRussa, who retired after winning the World Series last year, will manage the National League in the All-Star exhibition game. Why? Just because he won the NL pennant? Would he manage the team if he had signed with another club this year? Would he be in the dugout if he'd gotten fired? There is this dumb rule that the winner of this 'game' gets the home field advantage in the sport's championship series. That's a big thing and the manager of the NL is a guy who couldn't care less. Every time I think Selig can't make any worse decisions, he lowers the bar another foot.

[Tony Chong has informed me that a quote attributed to him, actually was written by Janice Hough. Sorry, Janice. I don't know how I could have made that mistake. They don't even look alike....I think.]
