Sigh, probably nothing will really happen to him. :beatyou: Didn't they get Palmeiro with a perjury charge too? Don't think anything happened to him either, hopefully the HOF voters can rectify things. :victory:

Yeah, probably not... Just public humiliation.

Which often is good enough. :applaud:

Nope. They said "insufficient evidence":http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2219460

Either way, I don't think Clemens, Palmeiro, Bonds, or McGwire are getting in the Hall anytime soon.

You could probably throw Sosa's name into that mix too. :doh:
Sox took on the chin against the Halos tonight, getting pounded 7-2. :puppydog: Beckett continues his woes at Fenway, need to just start him on the road. Yanks :usuck: win again against the Tigers, pushing them 6 1/2 behind.
Guess things could always be worse, Pirates lose again tonight dropping their record to 40-81, making it 18 straight non-winning seasons. :bleh:

Fine by me. :victory:

Texas still has a big lead on the Angels (7 games), but they seem to be trying hard to blow it, losing their fourth straight, 4-0, to the O's. :shakehead:

They should be thankful for playing in the weakest division. :bow: They have the biggest lead of any team yet have the worst record of the first place teams. :sweat:

Ted Lilly pitches another gem: a two-hit, 11-strikeout, complete game shutout over the Rockies, 2-0.

Very impressive. :applaud:

He's always been solid, just not your ace but has seemed to get better with age, he's the kind of starter Torre likes, :mrgreen: actually came up with the Yanks :usuck: when he was there they just had too solid of a staff back then for him to break into. :bow:

Pedroia is on the DL again, it's just been that kind of season. :sweat:

Oh wow, just came off Monday! Him, Cameron, Ellsbury were all put on this week. :doh:

1B- Youk
2B- Pedroia..twice
SS- Lowrie
3B- Lowell
OF- Ellsbury...3 times
OF- Cameron...twice
OF- Drew
C- Varitek
C- Martinez
P- Beckett

Looks like an entry in next year's Guiness book. :grumble:

Daisuke was on the DL too.

Right now, he's looking like the Dodgers' ace, but it's too late for them... And it's their relief pitching that's really been their downfall. :sweat:

And there's still almost 40 games to go. :sweat:
The good news: Yanks lose. :dancing:

39 games left for the Dodgers. If they go 38-1 they'll have a 100 win season!! :woot:

And congrats to Konan High School of Okinawa beating Kanagawa Tokaidai Sagami 13-1 to win the summer high school tournament. First school to win both the spring and summer tournament since Yokohama in 1998 with a team led by some kid named Daisuke Matsuzaka. :victory:

Very possible if they don't have to go to the bullpen. :beaten:
