MLB Whistle Stops

Carlos Carrasco beats SWB for his 10th win: 7IP, 5H, 1UER, 6K.  Let's hope his resurgence at Columbus translates in to a better September on the lake than '09.

K-Rod placed on the disqualified list by the Mets.  That means no pay ($3mil this season) and no service time accumulation.  The MLBPA will challenge the move, while the Mets will seek to void the rest of Frankie's contract, nearly $30mil.  The DQL is reserved for players that have violated the terms of their contracts.  Likely, the Mets will have to prove that Rodriguez did so if they expect the move to be upheld by an arbitrator.

R.I.P. The Shot Heard Round the World.  Sweet dreams, Bobby, where the Giants always win the pennant.

The Rangers add former Indian Alex Cora.
