Alex Rodriguez hit his 600th home run (youngest ever) today after 46 at-bats, 12 games and 50 ESPN programming interruptions since his 599th homerun. 28 year-old Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Shaun Marcum gave up A-Rod’s A-Bomb which means he will go down in the record books along with Alex. I think we can all agree this milestone is tainted with a capital T, but at least it is over and we can all move on to bigger and better things. It would be fantastic if we could just skip over to September so baseball actually begins to mean something and football season will be upon us.

Rolling with Cueto against the Pirates and Edwin Jackson in his first start of the White Sox today. Feel free to tail or fade, but you can’t win unless you are in. Good luck!

Buck Showalter manages his first game tonight with the Orioles so we expect a new attitude in the locker room and it should carry over to the field tonight. Joe Saunders pitches his first game with Arizona and we expect him to look solid against the Nationals. Good luck!

Hard to believe it’s already August, but today makes it official. Had some bad luck the last couple of days so hoping things go the other way today. Good luck!

Celebration Curse
Celebratory injuries in baseball seem to be getting out of hand, but this one might take the cake…err pie. Marlins left fielder Chris Coghlan celebrated their 11th inning victory Sunday over the Braves by slamming a pie in the face of teammate Wes Helms who hit the walk-off single. Somehow Coghlan landed clumsily after the pie caper and is now on the DL for a torn meniscus in his knee. If it is determined that Coghlan needs surgery he could be out up to 8 weeks for being a total clutz. You couple this with Kendry Morales shattering his leg after a walk-off grand slam and UCLA second baseman Tyler Rahmatulla breaking his wrist after celebrating a Super Regional victory (both season ending injuries) and you have an issue that should probably be addressed.

Really like Wainwright tonight against the Mets and Pavano should lead the Twinkies past the Royals. The only negative is they are both on the road, but should still prevail. Good luck!
