(MLB 8PM ET) Sorry folks, I got nothing on this one. All I know is, the Cubbies scored 129 runs since May 19, fewest in the majors over that span. All I know is, yesterday, their starting lineup featured four players who began the year at Triple-A Iowa. All I know is, despite all that, Chicago is only 3 1/2 games behind Milwaukee in the tightly bunched NL Central. Get your popcorn ready!
Peace out homies! Six Two and Even!

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Say what you want about Marian Gaborik. You can say he has been limited by injuries for most of his career. You can say he has never played 82 games in a season. But I’ll tell you something else you can say about Marian Gaborik. I’ll tell you this cat can put the biscuit in the basket. Gaborik may have only played only 207 games over the last four seasons but his average of 0.59 goals per game over that span is the third-highest among players who have appeared in at least 200 games since the lockout. The only cats with a higher goals-per-game average since the start of the 2005-06 season are Alex Ovechkin (0.68) and Ilya Kovalchuk (also 0.59, but slightly above Gaborik). That’s it. That’s the list. So say want you about Marian Gaborik, but he gives you some bang for your buck.

I’m winning. I’m winning. I’m winning. I’m winning and I don’t intend on losing again. -Santana
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Move over Phil Jackson, there’s a new sheriff in town. And I want the rest of you cowboys to know something, there’s a new sheriff in town. And his name is Joe Torre. So y’all be cool. Right on. Right on Joe Torre. The Dodgers’ win yesterday was their 50th win of the season. That’s the most in the majors. That’s also the fifth time in his managerial career that Joe Torre’s team was the first team to reach 50 wins in a season. How about that? How about this? Torre’s total is the most for a major-league manager since Walter Alston did it six times in his 23 years with the Dodgers. Joe Girardi? Feh!
Peace out homies. Six two and Even!
I’ve got the brand new doo-doo. Guaranteed like Yoo Hoo. I’m on like Dr John, yea Mr Zu Zu. I’ve got more action than my man John Woo. And I’ve got mad hits like I was Rod Carew. -Beastie Boys
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Like my main Calogero ‘C’ Anello always says, “The saddest thing in life is wasted talent, and the choices that you make will shape your life forever.” Last night, up in the Bronx, Alex Rodriguez and Ken Griffey Jr. both went yard at the new Yankee Stadium. It was only the second game in major-league history in which two players, each with at least 550 career homers, hit home runs. Holy cow! The other was in a Braves-Giants game in 1971, when Hammerin’ Hank Aaron and Say Hey Willie Mays both went deep. Alex Rodriguez has made some choices. Some not very good choices. And as far as we can tell, Junior made some different choices. It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.

(ESPN 8PM ET) I’m watching this game to get a little glimpse of Matt Cain. Matt Cain is insane! In 2007, Cain finished the season with 10th lowest ERA in the National League at 3.65. In 2007, the Giants went 9–23 in his starts with the bullpen losing leads in five of those starts and the team scoring two runs or fewer in twenty-one of them. In 2007, both Byung-Hyun Kim and Jorge Sosa had more wins than Matt Cain. Egads man! This year, Matt Cain is finally getting some run support and is becoming the pitcher we all thought he should be. Get your popcorn ready!

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! This is a sad one. A makes me feel bad one. A makes me feel bad from here to Chad one. El Flaco Explosivo is dead. According to the Sporting News, Alexis Arguello was found dead of a gunshot wound the the chest. Just awful. Before there was Manny Pacquiao and Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather and guys like that there, there was a guy like Alexis Arguello. A man among men. A champion among champions. A three time World Champion in three different weight classes. Yowza! Dennis Martinez may have been El Presidente, but Arguello was elected Mayor of Managua, Nicarargua’s capital city. Like my main man Lionel Hutz always says, “Homer, I don’t use the word “hero” very often, but you are the greatest hero in American history.” Alexis Arguello was a hero. Alexis Arguello will be missed.
