9) The Cubs responded to Lou Pinella's resignation news by somehow playing even worse

8) The hottest team in baseball is the Reds, mostly due to their skill in scheduling the Cubs

7) Torii Hunter was suspended for four games for showing more interest in a game than any other Angel has this year

6) The Phillies kept pace in the NL East despite mising Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, Shane Victorino and Jamie Moyer, and having Brad Lidge

5) Oliver Perez continued to be the least vital player in the major leagues

4) Lance Berkman finally hit something in New York, but unfortunately for the Yankees, it was A-Rod

3) The Orioles won five of their first six games under Buck Showalter, because their only problem was clearly the manager

2) The Red Sox signed Carlos Delgado, because you can never have enough glacial, aging and injury-prone left-handed power hitters
