I wouldn't be much of a baseball fan if I didn't mention New York's 22-0 loss to Cleveland last night. As the recap says, the Indians handed the boys in pinstripes "the largest loss in the 101-year history of the Yankees". Any team versus Steinbrenner's $180 million roster is an automatic underdog, but a victory on this scale by Cleveland, a team once synonymous with perennial losing and twice parodied in film, is extra sweet.

On a more local note, the A's are on an eight-game winning streak. Meanwhile, the Giants are tied for the wild card spot in the National League. I didn't realize it, but there's a special page dedicated to Barry's pursuit of No. 700. His career home run count currently sits at 696.
