- In their first 14 games with Derrek Lee, the Cubs scored 73 runs, and in the following 16 games, they scored 40.
- Colorado’s bullpen has allowed only five homers, the fewest in the majors. The best the team has ever ranked in this category at the end of a season is 25th, in 1998.
- The Astros have offered Roger Clemens $20 million for five months.
- Remember the name Tim Lincecum. The Washington junior recently struck out 16 batters in eight innings to become the Pac-10’s all-time strikeout leader and is a good shot at being the No. 1 overall pick in the draft.
- The New York Yankees are 11-0 in day games and 8-12 in night games this year.
- We are currently in the longest no-hitter drought since World War II.
- It’s a stat that Josh Towers doesn’t figure to change anytime soon; he sits at 0-7 on the year.
- I told you last week, but it’s worth mentioning again. If Cole Hamels is available in your league, pick him up yesterday.
- Kerry Wood reached 97 MPH in his latest rehab start; don’t forget about the guy.
- Is Jason Schmidt back? The impatient Cubs weren’t the toughest test, but the radar gun showed 95, something that certainly bodes well.
- Dallas McPherson has now struck out an astounding 55 times in his last 105 at-bats.
- The Kansas City Royals are 5-1 vs. the Indians this year. They are 5-21 vs. the rest of the league.
- Watch out for Sunday when many Major League players will be using pink bats to help with the fight against breast cancer. That’s right, pink is the new bat.
- Chris Paul was one vote away from becoming just the third player ever to unanimously win ROY honors. Who does this clown think he is? This person’s ability to vote needs to be removed immediately, as he is clearly not playing with a full deck.
- Although it would have been funny to see Artest play for free next year, firing Adelman was a move that had to be made.
- Speaking of funny, I cannot believe how good of a coach Avery Johnson has become. Seriously, he’s very good.
- And finally, we are going to do a mailbag early next week: e-mail any fantasy questions you may have to RotoScoop@gmail.com.
