The Mariners have to be worried after "The King", Felix Hernandez had to leave tonight's game in the 1st inning with elbow stiffness. Hernandez retired just 1 hitter, while allowing 2 hits and 2 walks. 3 of those runners came into score. Hernandez had allowed just 1 run in his 1st two starts.
The Phillies are spiraling out of control and are 2-10 after losing to Washington tonight. Manager Charlie Manuel nearly came to blows with Phils radio man Howard Eskin last night. With a struggling rotation, Brett Myers was moved to the bullpen. Early panic move? You bet! John Lieber will take his place.
David Wright extended his hitting streak to 25 games in the Mets win over the D-Train and the Marlins. John Maine tossed 6 no-hit innings for the Mets.
Things keep getting worse for the Angels. They lost Chone Figgins in spring training to 2 broken fingers. Vlad Guerrero has a badly bruised wrist after being plunked by Josh Beckett on Monday, and now Howie Kendrick is on the DL with a broken finger (I have both Figgins and Kendrick on my roto team - is this a bad trend?). On top of that, they were blanked by the A's 3-0 today to extend their losing streak to 6 games. They've scored just 6 runs in those 6 games, and have scored just 44 runs in 15 games to date.

Short Stops - 4/18
Alfonso Soriano's hamstring strain may be a blessing in disguise for the Cubbies. Lou Piniella wanted Sori to move from CF to LF. Only Sori said no (sound familiar?). With the injury, the Cubs brought up their number 1 prospect, Felix Pie (pronounced pea-ay, not like a dessert) to play CF. The Cubs are hoping to keep him there and move Soriano back to LF where he played for the Nats.
David Wright was 1-5 last night to extend his hitting streak to 24 games. Moises Alou hit his 1st two Met HRs in the same game.
Jered Weaver and Freddy Garcia made their season debuts last night, with very different results. Weaver allowed 3 earned runs in 6 innings in his loss to Oakland, while Garcia went just 4 2-3 (95 pitches), in the Phillies 8-1 loss to the Mets. Garcia allowed 3 runs.
Weaver's older brother Jeff had a much worse night, though it lowered his ERA. After being bombed by the Red Sox in his 1st start of the year, Weaver got hammered to the tune of 7 runs in 6 innings against the Twins last night. His ERA is now 15.43 and he's probably wishing he had stayed in the National League.
Up and down night for Torii Hunter last night. Hit a grand slam and then had to leave early with a bruised shoulder. He's day-to-day.
Dice-K made his 3rd start of the season against the Blue Jays last night. Though he only allowed 3 hits and struck out 10 in 6 IP, he came out on the short end of a 2-1 decision.
