Friday , 27th of July, 2007 - Interesting Baseball Factoid

Aaron Cook's (CO Rockies) 74 pitches in his July 25th outing, were the fewest thrown in a nine-inning complete game in the last 50 years. The only other person to do it: Carlos Silva (MN Twin)  on May 20, 2005, against Milwaukee.

Alex Rodriguez's 23-game hitting streak is over.

Alex Rodriguez's 23-game hitting streak is over.

The New York Yankees can't say the same about a slide that's dropped them into last place.

You really have to feel for the Yankees. Here they are struggling to compete in the eastern division with these small market, low budget teams, like, well like the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. The Devil Rays, who lost more than 100 games last season, have gone and beaten the Yankees twice. Of course, the Yankees were spinning already when they landed in Tampa Bay after being roughed up in Boston by the Red Sox who swept the Yankees three straight.

I have to pull out my calculator here, but I do believe if you add three and two together you get a five game losing streak for the Yankees. But at least Alex Rodriguez is having fun, and when you are only making 25 million dollars a year, its important that you can at least have fun while you are working.
