Wednesday Night Roundup
I see Barry Bonds hit career HR 640 last night. That leaves him 20 to go for a tie for third place with his god father, Willie Mays. Your dad's Bobby Bonds, your god father is Willie Mays. What are the odds that you manage to eclispe them both? Also how many players can go down 90 points in OBA and 100 points in slugging percentage from one season to the next and still be the best hitter in the game?
How do the White Sox feel this morning? They add Roberto Alomar and Carl Everett, but they lose to in a row to the Tigers! Nice to see things going a little better for Alan Trammell, and nice to see Bonderman get a win.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox had a great comeback victory last night. That's two tough 1-run games they've won after that loss to the Yankees on Monday. Looks like Toronto's pitching isn't keeping up with it's offense right now. Can Ricciardi make some Beane like moves in July to shore up the staff? With so many teams still in contention, there may be less of a buyer's market this year.
The Reds lost their 7th in a row to the Astros last night. They've been outscored 53-22 in the streak, and the pitching staff has allowed at least 6 runs in every game. This coincides with the 2nd and third rounds of the Reds attempt to have a 4-man rotation. The interesting thing, however, is that the Reds four man rotation is working! The Reds started the rotation on 6/27. Before that, the starters' ERA was 6.34. Since, it's been 5.17. I hope the Red don't abandon the rotation due to the losing streak.
