Random OOTS notes: JJ Hardy broke up a Smoltz no-hitter with a 2-run homer. Still the only Brew Crew hit, 2-2 in the bottom of the 7th. Toronto had a 3-2 lead over the Yanks but then gave up 4 runs in the bottom of the 6th...only to get 5 in the top of the 7th off the Yanks' pen. 8-6 Toronto, top of the 7th.
Updates: Beltran in the lineup. Milledge dropped the appeal, serving the suspension starting today. Wagner could pitch today but they will avoid him if possible. All as per John Delcos' blog for the Journal News.
I don't understand why Humber or Sele aren't pitching now either. I know, it's a crucial game. But still, you need to get some innings somewhere, I'd wait to use the key relievers if there was a problem.
Still a coupla arbitration years left I think. He won his arbitration case this year, his first eligible year. Cabrera sure seems destined to be an AL player though.
="Nymr83"]I wouldn't find a similiar jewish guy to be offensive, heck I'd be the first to buy the "Rabbi Chaim" logo hat. I guess that makes it ok then.
