The White Sox FINALLY win a game and spare Jose Contreras his 17th loss of the season when struggling former Met Dan Wheeler blows the game for the Devil Rays.

The Tigers are pummeling the Dark Empire in Detroit. Mike Mussina lasted only 3 innings and was hammered for 6 earned runs on 9 hits. Sean Casey, one of the slowest players in MLB, just opened the bottom of the fifth inning with a triple. Casey apparently exhausted himself and required a pich runner.

Currently Tigers 16, MFYs 0 in the 7th.

This outing - stacked atop all his other recent ones - could cost Mussina his starting slot.
Be interesting to see what they do with him. Their main problem is that he's signed for next year as well.

And 16-0 is the final in Detroit.

Verlander and Miner combined for a three-hitter. The only home run in this game was a solo shot by Polanco.

Silver lining for the night.

How could the NY tabloids make Yankees look better than the Mets tomorrow?

Easy. The MFY lost to a vastly superior squad than the Phillies. After all, the Tiggers went to the WS last year, and the Phils haven't sniffed an October for some time.

I mean, it's one thing to lose by 16 to the defending AL champs, but by seven to Philadelphia? Well, that something only the Flushing Nine could do.

Good job. This could be kind of a creative writing contest.

Each loss is much more costly to the Yankee cause.

Unfortunately John Lackey is throwing a shutout for Los Angeles and Seattle won't gain any ground in the wild card race tonight.

Ozzie Guillen takes lessons from Valadius:

This guy should lose his job. If it's the "same shit since April" he deserves the blame. Calling his team out like that is bull
