Seriously...you can't make this stuff up. That's his real name. The MFY have Hughes vs. Kazmir tonight in Tampa. And in case anyone hadn't noticed, we just dodged two bullets. Dan Haren pitched just prior to our series with Oakland and Santana pitches before our series with Minnesota starts. Let's hope out luck stays like from here on out.
Magic Number: 2

In other new, Young Buck is likely out of the playoff rotation. The comeback story comes to a close, unfortunately, The good news is that he was looking better and better every start until his last one (4.1IP, 4ER, 2HR, 3BB, 9K) and even his last one had a lot of optimism. He definitely projects to be a solid #2 guy behind Buchholz which, when you consider the ridiculous rotation we project next year, makes him a much more than adequate #4 or #5 guy.
"I think the strikeouts showed the kind of stuff he has," said manager Terry Francona. "I thought early in the game his cutter was strong, tight, and good. Then he got two outs, walk, home run. Then he gets behind Piazza, 2 and 0, and throws a fastball down the middle. Again, he's still a young pitcher who's developing, and he can work himself into some binds, but his stuff is still good."

Beckett, Dice-K, Schilling, Buchholz, Lester with Batshit and Timmy in the 'pen. Very niiiiiiiiice.

Another great name: Yorman Bazardo (Detroit pitcher)
Sometimes you wonder about these parents...
Yankees appear to be conceding this division now that they have the wild card clinched. Tonight no ARod, no Posada, no Jeter, no Abreu.
Manny on base 7 of 8 times since returning.
