D.C. finally broke the streak yesterday with a 5-3 victory over Sardine City. They had to look to outside the organization for the win, as Justin Germano picked up the win in relief of the Shawn/Sean combo. Matt Kemp had a homer and 3 RBIs to lead the Slapper offense.
Philadelphia asserted some dominance over the Sugar Bears yesterday, blanking the defending champs 6-0. Brandon Webb held the potent lineup to only three hits in a complete game, the first time the Sugar Bears have been shut out all year (hmmm were they shut out last year?)...
Team Buddah was shut out for the fifth time this year, this time by Aaron Harang and the Blue Ridge Bombers. Harang pitched 7.2 innings of 3-hit ball and struck out 7.

Jim Thome's home run in Vegas' 11-7 win yesterday moved him into a second-place tie with Sammy Sosa at 436 for his career. Thome only needs 200 or so more to tie Barry Bonds for first place (642)!...Manny Ramirez collected his 2000th career hit last week and hasn't played since. His teammate Chipper Jones also collected his 2000th last week, but he's not in the manager's doghouse...Mariano Rivera's next appearance will be his 800th...Vancouver's Greg Maddux is two strikeouts shy of 2000, which would make him the sixth player to reach the mark.
