The Lowlights: Hey, A New Record!

  • Kansas City blows it in the seventh when the Red Sox's Mirabelli homers, sending home Coco Crisp. Mark Grudzielanek makes an error, ending his 95-game streak without any. And finally, in the latest of dubious achievements, Kansas City earns its 20th blown save, a high for the major leagues! Way to go, Royals!
  • The Pirates are on a tear! Kip Wells returned for eight solid innings, Freddy Sanchez hits an RBI double in the eighth, and Pittsburgh, 3-1 since the break, beats the Rockies, who endured their eighth straight loss. All the Coors in Colorado probably can't cheer them up.
  • The Cubs had today off to stand in a corner, reflect on yesterday's game, and think about what they've done. Hopefully, they'll cool off and rest up in anticipation of a certain trouncing by Houston tomorrow night.
  • Finally, this isn't really within the scope here at RttB, but Peter Gammons was moved to a rehab facility today. Baseball Tonight hasn't been the same without him, so I'm hoping that the good news keeps on coming.

Comments:
Hey, great new blog, Stevie! I'll enjoy watching the debacle to the very end. (I can say that because of the incredible post-All Star Break run my Braves have been on, which will now end because I have publicly acknowledged it, leading me to avoid coming back to this blog because I will be too bitter about the Braves.)
