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.

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.)
