Week 18

Hey All,

Wow, the year of the pitcher continues with Brandon Morrow's one-hitter against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. If Morrow had held on for the no-hitter it would have been the third time that the Rays had been no-hit this season. Let's look at the stats.

Once again, we see the standings have flipped again. That's due to two things. One, Roy Halladay had a huge week for the Phillies and two, Miguel Cabrera's zero point week up in Detroit really affected some teams.

Trivia: Brandon Morrow's one-hitter was the second in Blue Jays history. The first Blue Jay pitcher to hurl a one hitter was the great Dave Stieb.

Baseball Card of the Week: In honor of Dave Stieb we see him here pictured on his 1980 Topps card.

Until next week folks, remember we'll see how bad replay can be for baseball when the Little League World Series starts. I see some big problems coming there.
