Thanks for following Jet, I'm pulling for you on that. One thing I love the most about long dynasties is all the reaction and being able to go back to the beginning and read it all again.

Streaking Reds Keep It Going!!!!!



Win streak at 4 for Reds, who defeat the Marlins on the road.

Playing under the lights on the road, the Reds crushed the Marlins 13-1 in front of 23,724 fans at Dolphin Stadium. Edwin Encarnacion homered and drove in 5 runs to lead the way for the Reds. Johnny Cueto collected his 6th win of the season, pitching 5.1 scoreless innings before turning things over to the bullpen.

Big gun Aaron Harang (5-5, 4.01) will get the nod for the Reds tonight at Great American Ball Park as the club begins a series with the Cardinals, while Adam Wainwright (5-3, 3.77) gets the tough assignment for St. Louis. Ken Griffey Jr. hopes to add to his 10-game hitting streak.

Mets Earn Non-Divisional Win!!!!!



Diamondbacks fall to Mets.

The Mets delivered a 6-4 win for their fans last night, beating the Diamondbacks in front of 50,504 strong at Shea Stadium. Joe Smith earned the victory (his 3rd of the season) working 2 innings and striking out 3 hitters in relief of starter Johan Santana. Carlos Delgado had only one hit, but it was a big home run, and he knocked in 3 runs for the winners.

The Mets and Diamondbacks play again tonight as Arizona offers up their best pitcher, Brandon Webb (8-1, 2.49), who faces off with Orlando Hernandez (1-3, 4.34).

Slump continues for O's as Sox score 9 times in final 2 at-bats!!!!!

Boston, MA - The game was tied at 3-3 in the 6th inning after the O's overcame a 3-0 hole to get even, then the pitching wheels fell off yet again. The Red Sox scored 9 times capped by a 7-run 8th inning to pull away. Boston got home runs from Kevin Youkilis, Manny Ramirez, and David Ortiz throughout the evening in the rout. Tim Wakefield picked up his 7th win of the season by going 7.0 innings. Along with the loss, Orioles starter Jeremy Guthrie left the game in the 5th inning with an elbow sprain and will be out 1-6 days. It's not determined if he will miss his next start or not. Jensen Lewis was atrocious in his O's debut, allowing 4 runs in just 0.1 IP. The O's will wrap up the series tomorrow night before heading home for some interleague action against the Pirates.

Guthrie sucks. If you don't get any trade offers for him, you should send him down when game 80 rolls around.
