I thought he was done and didn't start him, fantasy-wise, but I'll take it.

Yanks lost. Tex error at a bad time.

Watched a few innings on YES but got tired of the brainless chatter.

Switched to ESPN, also showing MFYs/Rays. Though I would mostly describe it as a glorified commercial for the Home Run Derby.

OotSB, 7/2

How did you spend your Mets day off? Cameron Maybin spent his this way..

Helped the Padres beat the Diamondbacks, 6-2.

In games with more local signif:
[list][*]the Cubs beat the Braves, 4-1 (yay!),[/*:m]
[*]the Brews beat the Marlins, 6-5 (yay!).[/*:m][/list:u]

A buncha teams with wild card hopes beat a buncha other teams with wild card hopes, so it's kinda hard to sort out a rooting interest in that regard. Cincinnati returned to the league-wide business of sinking the S.S. Dodger.

Marlins lost as well (to Brews).
Pretty nice night all around for an off day.

I'm on that Fan At Bat email list that sends out surveys occasionally. had one for the festivities and a couple of questions were about the announcers and the announcing team. This is either a broad survey or they're aware of a dislike for Buck/McCarver Berman..

An estimated 485 feet, making it the longest this year. (PLUS it was hit with such force, it apparently ushered Dick Enberg through a second puberty.)

You see that swing? That was one perfectly struck ball. Mantlesque.

Chase field really seems to yield some long ones. Here's a 30 foot shorter one, that's still completely massacre'd, but Beltran.
