so despite the best efforts of Bud Selig, it looks like a one-week battle for AL East supremacy.
Hopefully, it comes down to a head-to-head matchup. I'd rather have the Yankees AA starters and Boston's AA relievers decide this thing rather than the freaking Glorioles and the Leafs.
And speaking of Baltimore... wow. Has a team ever self-destructed this badly and so entertainingly? I mean in modern times, when theoretically the game isn't run by degenerate gamblers and failed businessmen (see: NHL). Anyhoo, the point is that, at least for me, Raffy's recent shenanigans are pretty reprehensible. Even if Tejada personally milked an Albino Rhino's nuts to procure sacred go-juice for the athletic machine that is Palmeiro, you don't rat out or blame a teammate, ever. Luckily, Lee Mazilli knows this, so sent Raffy packing. Depending on how the truth comes out, and how the media decides they want to spin it, I can now see a very real chance that Raffy's not let into the hall of fame. The current voters might be pissed at the steroid-inflation issues he represents, and given his Tejada-backstabbing, there's no chance in hell the veterans' committee is letting his ass in, no matter how far he drives that wonderful flavor savor up their collective asses.
In other news, show of hands: who else can't wait to pick up a copy of Carlito's Way: Rise to Power?

Lee Mazzilli was fired two months ago. But who can blame you for not knowing whether the guy at the helm is the one who steered them into the iceberg?
The extent to which the Orioles have quit is pretty remarkable. I just hope they get the memo to fight harder over the next few days...

I thought Mazzilli was fired, as well he should have been, but was too lazy to look it up. Shoddy work. That said, if the O's are looking for a manager come April, I hear that Mattingly guy is pretty good. If nothing else, he'd give Palmeiro someone to talk to in the locker room (it's a 'stache thing, you wouldn't understand).
Oh, and as for the O's fighting harder, that memo must still be in the mail room, judging from last night's performance. Hopefully it stays there a while, and no one sends up a blue letter.
