Ant Slayers have been slain

The Ant Slayers' winning streak has finally been snapped at 7 thanks to a 1-0 brilliant pitching effort from Jon Danks. The Mighty Men pitcher held the Slayers to only 2 hits over 8 innings, while striking out 7. Poor Jon Lester did all he could to keep the streak alive, pitching 7.2 innings of 3-hit ball, giving up only one unearned run. But it wasn't enough. The game's lone run scored in the 6th when Adrian Beltre singled in Kevin Youkilis from second.

Hoboken wished that they could break their streak. Yesterday the Cutters lost 7-6 to Team Buddah making it 7 straight losses. The Cutters had a nice 6-3 lead going into the bottom of the 8th, but the Buddahs exploded for 4 runs to claim the lead. Elijah Dukes was 2-4 in the contest with 3 RBIs. Hoping to get rid of some bad juju, the Cutters released transaction posterboy Matt Joyce. Joyce will now try to latch on to his 5th team this season.

D.C. recently cut the volatile Oliver Perez after a disappointing start to his season, but Philadelphia was quick to claim the lefthander. After passing through waivers, the Endzone Animals wasted no time throwing him into a game. Perez started yesterday's matchup against the Falcons and, well, the results were not pretty. Perez was torched for 7 runs (6 earned) in 1.2 innings. Perez said that it was not fair to make him pitch on Cinco de Mayo. The Mexican-born pitcher was all set to celebrate his new-found freedom with some friends at a local Chevy's restaurant when he got the call that he was starting. "Generalissimo Seguín would have been very dissapointed" said Perez in a post-game conference. "My corazon was not in the game. Perhaps next time they will think twice and check the calendar when they start me." After the game, general manager and owner Bocci Pucci said "We thought he would have been proud to start the game on such an historic date, but I guess he'd rather be eating tacos and guacamole."
