MIDWEST MEDIOCRITY – SCOREBOARD WATCHING
From the desk of Gavin:
Here’s your summary of what happened yesterday in our respective Divisions:
AL CENTRAL – Poor Detroit, we picked up a game, Hossa and Kopecky, you got Ben Gordon.
Detroit (43-35) lost 5-1 to the feast or famine A’s. Cust and Giambi both strike out twice and deliver 2-run HR’s.
Minnesota (41-39) won 5-1 in KC. Mauer ready to overtake AL batting title with a few more plate appearances.
Chicago (AL) (40-38) won 6-2 in Cleveland. Jose Contreras dominant since returning from AAA.
Kansas City (33-44) lost 5-1 pulling “a Cubs” getting 12 hits and scoring only once.
Cleveland (31-49) lost 6-2 to the Sox. Jeremy Sowers seems to have caught “Javier Vazqcular” disease, which restricts a pitcher from being able to get out of the sixth inning.

NL CENTRAL – Really you’re all going to let the Pirates back into this race?
Milwaukee (42-36) lost 1-0 to the Mets at home. This blowout might signal a reversal of fortune for both franchises’ seasons. Watch out Brewers fans, for falling batting averages.
St. Louis (42-38) won in 10 innings at San Fran 2-1. Another ex-Cub helping STL, Bob Howry served up the game winning HR.
Cincinnati (38-38) – won 1-0 at Arizona. Jon Garland the hard luck loser as Johnny Cueto outduels him with 6 innings of one-hit ball.
Chicago (37-38) – Cubs won 4-1 in PIT, July looking much better. Good to see Randy Wells finally getting some deserved W’s.
Houston (37-39) – won 7-1 in San Diego. How is Geoff Blum batting 5th for the Stros?
Pittsburgh (36-42) – lost 4-1 at home to the Cubs. Bucs don’t make trade and lose. Coincidence?
