Quote of the day
"Sometimes four (runs) is enough, sometimes it's not." -- Washington manager Jim Riggleman, after a 5-4 loss in San Francisco

Daily blurb
After being one of the surprise stories for the first two months of the season, the Cleveland Indians are suddenly only 1-5 in June, and in danger of dropping out of the top spot in the A.L. Central. Detroit is now just 1½ games back and surging. The Tigers scored 13 runs yesterday. The Tribe hasn’t amassed 13 runs combined over the past five days. And they’ve been shut out for times in the past two weeks. Yikes!

After four days, the Draft$treet freeroll contest is still up for grabs, with the standings changing quite a bit each day. I think this contest standings link will work whether you are entered in the contest or not. Even with an off-day yesterday, Albert Pujols is the top point-getter for the contest period, with 41.2 DWP. Close behind are Brennan Boesch (35.6), Matt Kemp (34), Nelson Cruz (31), andCarl Crawford (29.1). Cliff Lee (25.5) is now the top pitcher, and with a contest price of only $4,300, will probably be one of the top pitching bargains.
