Running the Bases
This is a new feature where I'll run down some events throughout MLB, not necessarily just from Yankeeland.
Barry Bonds hit his 24th homerun of the season, and 732nd of his career. Does anyone outside of San Francisco really care what steroid-boy is up to? 23 to tie Hank Aaron's record, 24 to break. What a shame. In other news, Greg Anderson, Barry Bonds' personal trainer and alleged (ha, ha) steroid supplier, is still rotting in jail for refusing to testify to the grand jury investigating the tainted slugger. Why is this guy taking the fall for Bonds? I hope he's at least getting a good pay-off (but I doubt it).
Derek Jeter's hitting streak is still alive, and now stands at 23 games. Jeter is flat out having an MVP season. Average, OBP, RBI, defense, stolen bases, runs scored, leadership. About the only thing this guy isn't doing for the Yankees is mowing the infield grass (and for all I know, he very well may be).
Dr. Z. It's been at least a week since I've seen a Dr. Z. commercial. I want to thank Daimler-Chrysler for pulling these ads. I can just see the big-wigs at Chrysler being pitched this ad campaign and thinking it was just so clever, one of those campaigns that wins awards and has people standing by the water cooler (or the modern-day equivalent, the printer) talking about how funny it is. It isn't. It wasn't. I mean, what was Chrysler trying to sell me, a car or Dr. Z? Here's a question for Dr. Z.: Did you at least get a new car out of the deal before they axed you?
Francisco Liriano and the Twins got good news and bad news. The bad news is that the lefthander (12-3, 2.16) is out for the rest of the season and playoffs due to a strained ligament near his elbow. The good news is that an MRI showed no structural or ligament damage. He has already begun a rehab program with the hope of being ready for the start of next season.
Wild Card The wild card leaders going into today: San Diego by 2 games over Philadelphia in the N.L, and Minnesota by 2 games in the loss column over the defending World Champion Chicago White Sox.
That's all for now.

I didn't know whether to buy A Chrysler or lie back on a couch for psychoanalysis.
That is so f-ing funny.
