News from around the league…
Ryan Zimmerman is halfway there, he increased his hit streak to 28 games, only 28 to catch Joltin Joe.
The Mets won their 7th straight game today on the back of Livan Hernandez who has pitched surprisingly well. The Mets were up 4-2 and added a big 8th inning to defeat the Pirates 8-4.
Joba Chamberlain had a scare with a bruised thumb coming into today’s game, but he started the game anyway. He has been having problems with the first inning this year and today was no different, giving up 3 runs. However, from there he gave up no runs in 6 innings of work. The Yankees in the 6th with a Damon HR, who is having a great year with 9 HR now, took the lead and the bullpen held it to give Joba the win. Mariano Rivera pitched a flawless 9th for the save.
Manny Ramirez apologized to the LA Dodgers owner today and is supposed to talk to the team in Florida in their next away series against the Marlins.

The White Sox want to demote Jose Contreras to AAA and will have to clear waivers. No one will likely pick him up with his massive contract.
