- After going 0-for-4 on Sunday, Vernon Wells snapped a 29-game streak of reaching base safely. Wells’ hot start set a major league record for consecutive games of reaching base to start the season.
- Edgar Renteria’s 22-game hitting streak (and counting) is the longest to start a season since 1976.
- According to Bill Arnold’s Beyond the Box Score, Creighton University has the only active switch pitcher in Division I. Pat Venditte Jr., a reliever, recently retired six Kansas hitters, half with each arm. He even had a strikeout apiece from each side.
- Mariners right-hander Joel Pineiro threw a complete game last week against the Twins without recording a strikeout or walk. No pitcher had done that in the majors since 1994.
- The San Diego Padres don’t have a single player on their entire roster with an OPS over 800.
- Something tells me the Tigers’ team ERA of 3.38 is not going to last.
- Casey Kotchman has Mono.
- Bobby Crosby better start picking it up if he is going to win the MVP this year like two ESPN analysts predicted.
- Will someone please tell LeBron to quit chewing his nails like a nervous schoolgirl.
- Ben Wallace’s back-to-back airballs from the free throw line on Sunday were pretty impressive. And by impressive I mean I could shoot left-handed with my eyes closed 100 times and not have that happen.
- Bam Morris, the NFL would be a better place, if in fact you do return.
- It’s official; Danielle will be the winner of “Survivor.” Speaking of which, shouldn’t the producers just go ahead and give everyone razors at this point. Trust me CBS, shaving would bring better ratings.
- I hope to soon have updated rankings up for baseball, so keep the look out.
