Sure will man. Have you heard anything or does the staff know about the color, smiley, size tabs not working? The search engines aren't working either now.

Waddell Struggles In Relief Role As A's Fall To Boston 6-4 In 10 Innings

Columbia Park,Phila,Pa.-Philadelphia Athletics starting pitcher Rube Waddell was forced into a cameo relief role today because of the injury to Andy Coakley and the results were predictably disasterous.Entering the game in the top of the 10th with the score 3-3,Waddell allowed 3 hits a walk and 3 earned runs in just one inning of work handing Boston the 6-4 victory.Afterwords,Waddell confessed that he just couldn't get it going and that although he'd do anything for the team to win,perhaps they'd be better served by using another pitcher in that situation next time.Perhaps, Rube.From one struggling star to another,Harry Davis showed signs of breaking out of his slump by going 2 for 5 with a home run,3 RBI and a run scored,Over the last 10 game Davis is only 6 for 41 with one home run,not the type of production you need from your best hitter.Here's today's box score

Players Of The Week For Week Ending July 9,1905

Monday, July 10th, 1905: NL Star of the Week Honored There's nothing like being in the prime of your baseball career -- and playing like it. Just ask Honus Wagner, the Pittsburgh shortstop, who swung a sweet bat all week to not only aid his team, but also pick up the National League Player of the Week honors. Wagner piled up 13 hits in 32 at-bats, 1 home run and 5 RBIs while hitting .406. Currently Wagner has 3 home runs and a .342 batting average.

Monday, July 10th, 1905: American League Hitter of the Week It can be difficult for a young player to step out of the shadows and assert himself in the American League, but last week Frank LaPorte of the New York Highlanders reminded everyone just why he's here as he threw up numbers that made him an easy selection for Player of the Week. LaPorte rocked opposing pitching for a .500 average (10-20), 2 home runs and 8 RBIs to come away with the award. This year LaPorte is hitting .256, produced 29 RBIs and 3 home runs, scored 21 times and gotten on base at a .276 rate.
