Philadelphia second baseman Chase Utley extended his hitting streak to 32 games in the Phillies' 15-2 loss to the Marlins.
And, Boston must beat Cleveland tonight in the return of David Wells to hold on to the yellow jersey in the AL East. A loss gives the yellow jersey to the Yankees. But the Red Sox won on a 9th inning, 3-run homer by David Ortiz to maintain the yellow jersey. The Yankees hold on to the checkered jersey.
If the Red Sox lose, they may have to share the checkered jersey with the White Sox, who are playing the Royals tonight.
Finally, in the AL West, Oakland and Los Angeles play showdown game for the yellow jersey. Dan Haren takes on Ervin Santana. Los Angeles Times columnist Bill Plaschke tabbed the Angels as the team to beat in the AL this year on today's "Around the Horn" on ESPN.
Update - The checkered jersey of Team Croatia had its first trip through the washing machine. I can tell you this: These colors don't run
My then-girlfriend was MORTIFIED, in all caps, bold, italics, with a number of exclamation points and made me swear not to leave the hotel that night.
Good story.
By the way, the colors on my Arsenal away jersey don't run, but the letters do come off. Sigh.
