Nice ending for the Brewers. Brewers put men on 1st and 3rd, get two strikeouts, and as soon as he swung, guy on first tried to take second, guy on third tries to take home and gets thrown out at the plate.

Now to hope I can get a few more points, and I might just salvage a win this week in fantasy. Damn Edwin Encarnacion though. Despising him this week.

Edit: And thank you Carlos Gonzalez. Texas, PLEASE bench Mike Napoli. He's sucked all week. I can't afford strikeouts tonight.

Edit 2: And thank you Napoli for your hit in the 7th. I needed you not to score -3. You had -2 going in thanks to your two strikeouts thus far. Now to hope you don't get any more at bats in this game. Or errors. Or caught stealing.

Los Doyers sweep the Nats.

Capuano (3-0) allowed three hits and two walks in 6 2/3 innings, helping send the Nationals to their fourth straight loss and first shutout defeat of the season after they entered the series with a 14-5 record. They had a combined total of three runs and 11 hits in 21 2/3 innings against Capuano, Clayton Kershaw and Chad Billingsley.

That's good stuff right there.

It's good to see that Derek Lowe's still doing well so far with a shutout start to close out the Angels series. He was the pitcher I was most concerned about going into the season, so I hope he can keep it up.

Wow, Braves looked dead in the water down 6-0 with Halladay on the mound, but just got 6 off him in the 5th to tie it up. Punctuated by a grand slam by Brian McCann.

So I'm watching the A's Red Sox game right now and I had a thought. Do the Sox suck this year or is this a continuation of the collapse from last season?

Then Carlos Ruiz hits a 3 run home run.

Damn, I turned the game off to watch a movie (was still 6-6 at the time). Turned it back on just after Chipper's 2 run homer to win it 15-13 in the 11th.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Jared Weaver no hit the Twins.

The Red Sox had one of the hardest parts of their schedule to open the season, now they're playing the dreks of the AL. Like Bob Ryan said on Kornheiser's radio show at the height of the Valentine stuff a week ago, if the Red Sox are below .500 after May 16, then they're doomed. They're like 7-1 in their last 8 now and Papi is possessed.

Incredible 2 games that rightfully pushes Beltran's 7 RBI night (yes to match Ruiz) to page 2 of the MLB section. This is one of those nights I love having access to MLB.tv on my PS3.

Even though the Phillies lost, that was still a really fun game to watch.

Aw man, Weaver throws a no hitter and I missed it. Damn you NBA playoffs.

The panda is out for 4-6 weeks ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH. Looks like our offense just got worse! Though, let us be honest here, our problem is getting a hit with runners in scoring position.

Mariano Rivera Had To Be Carted Off The Field With A Possible Knee Injury Sustained During Batting Practice

That's according to numerous reports out of Kansas City, where the Yankees closer slipped on the warning track as he was shagging fly balls before tonight's game against the Royals. According to CBSSports.com, the 42-year-old Rivera had to be carried to the cart by manager Joe Girardi and bullpen coach Mike Harkey.

Red Sox are 5-3 in their last 8 as of today. They dropped two to the A's and one to the White Sox. They're next series is against the Orioles who are 6-2 in their last 8 games and just took 2 out of 3 against the A's and at Yankee Stadium.

I know eventually the Orioles will fall off like the normally do but they are hot right now.

Mo...torn ACL...I'm gonna go cry now...

Mariano going down is a big hit to the Yanks pen. Robertson is definitely getting the closer role though. No question on that. and if he's as good as he's been the past year, I have complete faith in him. I think the problem is now going to be in the 7th, and maybe 8th. Who is going to be the guy there?

Honestly, what I have LOVE to see is Joba come back sometime during the season, and just be that guy. There was once a time when he was expected to be the closer when Mo retired. That time has long passed, but i think he can still bring back some of those memories.

Second freak injury to a yankees pitcher this season. Pretty crazy.

It's definitely not their year. Lots of injuries already and odd ones.

That sucks. Even as a Red Sox fan, Mo was a guy who I always respected and admired. If this is the end of his career, it's terrible for the game.

Mo stated clearly today that he's coming back next year. His words were "I'm not going out like this." That's at least good to hear, but it's not going to be fun rehabbing a torn ACL at 43 years old. Honestly, the thing is, you can call this a "freak injury", but he shouldn't be shagging fly balls at this point in his career. I know that he's "the best athlete on the team" and he's been doing it his entire career, but in hindsight, it's almost as dumb as Terrell Suggs getting injured playing basketball. It's not necessary and doesn't do anything to help his performance in the job he's actually paid to do. There aren't even any 42 year old outfielders in the league shagging fly balls, lol. So, why the does the greatest relief pitcher of all time need to be doing it?
