Arizona Cannot Be Stopped

Brandon Webb didn't have his best performance of the year, but he can thank Augie Ojeda for helping him notch a seventh consecutive win. The Arizona reserve filled in mightily for the injured Orlando Hudson, driving in six of the runs in the 10-4 win over the Mets. Ojeda had three hits, including two that went for doubles. He also got on base in the seventh when Aaron Heilman drilled him in the leg for his trouble.

• Hank is happy again. Mike Mussina put together another solid start and the Yankees rode it to 6-1 victory over the struggling Mariners. Things could be going better for New York's pitching staff, but Hank must be happy to see his veterans holding steady while the younger find their way. The Yankees pounded out 13 hits on the day, 12 of which came off of Seattle's King Felix in 5.2 innings of work.

• The NL West is raking. James Loney was the hero last night in LA's 12-7 win in Colorado. The young first baseman matched Ojeda for the night's lead in RBI with six on just two hits, a double and a home run. Hong-Chin Kuo picked up his first win of the year, while striking out five in relief of Esteban Loaiza. Jorge De La Rosa took the loss for the Rockies, surrendering nine runs in four innings. Stupid humidifier.

And the Jays pitching staff has given up only 9 runs in the last 7 games, with Halladay going today.

Too bad they can't hit worth shit.

Augie Ojeda is still getting paid by a MLB team to play baseball? The world is a strange place.

What a horrible SEA-NYY game. The Mariner's offense is sickly enough to stay at the Ronald McDonald House on road trips.

Augie played well in the Cubs series last year.

The Dodgers have won 8 in a row, which is nice. And Juan Pierre sits the bench, which is fan-fucking-tastic.

Now the D-Backs...Feel free to come back to earth any time now.

So, if Brandon Webb gets to ten victories before Memorial Day, does ESPN put a "Beating Denny Mc Lain" countdown on Page 2? What if BW played for the Yanks, Sawkx, or even Mets?
