It really stinks when you've got an eight-run lead with two outs in the fifth, and you don't get the win. Too bad for Gabbo, but the key thing is, the team held on to win the game, 14-9. The Wily Mo homer took the score from 9-5 to 12-5, and since the Indians ended up scoring nine, he gets my PotG award. His first, I'm pretty sure. (With his 4 for 5 night, he's just six points shy of Lugo's .225 BA.)

How 'bout them Royals? Finally they come through for us, pounding No Dice. We're back to 7.5 games up.

Tomorrow, at, well, who knows what time, really, the Yanks will finish their suspended game with the O's. The little schedules on the teams' sites have been messed up since that game was interrupted. First it gave the Yanks an 8-6 "W" and the O's a 6-8 "L". Now it just shows that game's "result" as "SUSP" on both sites. Then they show a 7:05 game--the regularly scheduled game. I guess the world will tune in to the O's or Yanks channel around 5 or so, and just sit there until baseball begins.

In the completion of the suspended game, A-Rod could hit his 493rd homer (he had 492 when that game started), which would make his most recent homer the 500th of his career. Could, mind you. Odds are he gets one at bat in that game, since it's already the eighth inning. I mean, it's not like the slim chance of this happening warrants an entire mlb.com article...or does it?!

Great job, sir. You're bankin' on an all-or-nothin' at bat by A-Rod. Should he do anything but hit a home run, you've written the most irrelevant article of all time. Also, nice job on the last paragraph:

"Rodriguez entered Thursday the Major Leagues with 35 home runs and 102 RBIs..."

I've got a proposal for an mlb.com article: "Yanks Could Win 2004 ALCS If Time Travel Is Invented And Brian Cashman Goes Back To The 60s And Keeps Dave Roberts' Parents From Kissing At The Fish Under The Sea Dance."
