Nice Job Shannon

Not be to completely anti Red Sox or anything, but congrats to Shannon Stewart for breaking up Curt Schilling's No-No on the last possible occasion. So does that make me happy, why yes it does, because not only does that douche not get a no hitter, but the person that owns him in my keeper league will not get bonus bucks for having a pitcher throw a no no.

One person to thank is Julio Lugo who made an error in the fifth to allow the A's to get their first base runner. Had he made that play then Stewart would have never gotten up to bat, and Schilling would have had the 18th Perfect Game thrown in Major league Baseball history. Which I'm sure would have been all over his blog, but thankfully due to the combined heroics of Lugo and Schilling, we don't have to deal with such banter and Schilling going down in history. Woo.

Congrats to Shannon Stewart for being healthy this far into the season. That's more of an accomplishment than breaking Schilling's no-no.

I never realized how pathetic the A's lineup is. Do they have anyone hitting over .300? I don't think Kendall even has an on base% above .250.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
