Thanks guys. Trachsel has pitched really well for me other than that one outing where he didn't make it out of the first. It's starting to come together a little bit. I'm getting the feeling of another Major League movie in the making. LOL!!! By the way, those transactions and standings are nuts. The Nats are already 16 games out of first!!!!!

Pittsburgh in 1st place in the NLC? wtf?

[Heisman316]

Highheat, I seem to be going through what you was, I'm struggling to find a team, nobody was reading my Braves 'chise. So I polled and people voted for Pittsburgh. Wish me luck, but do you mind me copying you house rules over into my page, I'll give credit to ya.

Don't mind at all man. I put them on here and if anyone thinks they are good enough to use, feel free to. I'll be following along. Can't wait to check it out. Go Bucs!!!!

Cardinals Drop Ace Right-Hander!!!!!



The Cardinals get the better of Johnny Cueto in win.

Last night at Busch Stadium the Cardinals scored a one-run victory (4-3) against the Reds, sending the crowd of 35,907 fans away from the stadium in a good mood. At least until they get into traffic, and then we can't promise anything. Rick Ankiel crushed a big home run -- his only hit in 4 at-bats -- and drove in 2 runs to kick-start the offense. Branden Looper worked only 5.2 innings, but he was able to get his 3rd win of the season, giving up 3 runs on 6 hits before the bullpen took over.

Following an off day today, the Cardinals will play host to the Cubs starting tomorrow night, with St. Louis going with Mike Parisi and Chicago turning to Jason Marquis.

O's rally late but come up short as Rays take series!!!!!

Baltimore, MD - Edwin Jackson earned his 2nd win of the year tonight in silencing the Orioles offense. Edwin delivered 8.0 scoreless innings, allowing only 3 hits in the process. He got help from 3 solo home runs throughout the game by Cliff Floyd, Carlos Pena, and Johnny Gomes. The Rays took a 4-0 lead to the 9th inning when they decided to pull Jackson and things almost fell apart. Reliever Trever Miller allowed the first two Orioles to reach base. Troy Percival then came on in relief with one out and allowed back to back singles by Ramon Hernandez and Nick Markakis to cut the lead in half. With the winning run at the plate in Jay Payton, Percival got Payton to hit into a 6-4-3 double play to end the ballgame and send the O's packing their bags as they prepare to head west without a day off to face the Angels tomorrow night.
