- Pittsburgh Pirates (65-91 5th NL Central Ian Snell 14-10 4.67) vs. Houston Astros (78-78 2nd NL Central Andy Pettite 13-13 4.31)-The NL Central is so horrible that the Astros six-game winning streak has not only gotten them to .500, but within 2.5 games of the "division" leading Cardinals. God, I wish the White Sox were in the National League. I'm taking Pittsburgh tonight, and if that doesn't prove that I'm not taking the easy route to 100, I don't know what will. (7:05PM Est)
- Washington Nationals (69-87 5th NL East Ramon Ortiz 10-15 5.40) vs. Philadelphia Phillies (82-74 2nd NL East Brett Myers 12-6 3.94)-The Phillies suffered a minor setback last night against the Astros, and are now tied with LA for the wild card lead. Tonight, the Wifebeater takes the mound and looks to teach those Nationals a lesson about "keepin' her ass in the kitchen." For those who doubt my sincerity in rooting for the Phillies, I'll have you know that I've been booing Pat Burrell non-stop since Friday. The Phillies win tonight. (7:05PM Est.)
- Minnesota Twins (93-63 2nd AL Central Johan Santana 18-6 2.79) vs. Kansas City Royals (58-98 5th AL Central Odalis Perez 6-8 6.06)-Well, now that the White Sox are officially eliminated from the postseason, I can finally admit I'm now rooting for the Twins to win the AL Central. Not cuz I like them or anything, I just want to see them play against the Athletics. They're the two hottest teams in baseball, and I figure it would be a great series. Tonight, Johan Santana goes against the Royals, and I'm going to take the Twins, but who knows what kind of hangover Johan may have from last night's celebration. (8:10PM Est.)
Yesterday: 1-2 (W-Twins L-Phillies Athletics)
Season: 91-85
Nine wins left, eighteen games left to get there.
