Summer Heat

Finally, the summer has arrived!  And with it the frustrations and elations of the long MLB season...the Diamondback's Edwin Jackson threw a no-no gainst the Tampa (Devil) Rays...with a whopping 149 pitch count, which included 8 walks...the Rays are fresh off a whupping by the Pads and are still hurting...got to think, if the Ariz squad was in the hunt, he would have been lifted after the 7th...
Woooah!  The Cubs are struggling, as usual...and the former ace of their staff had a melt down...in front of all the baseball world...Carlos Zambrano, had another rocky start...fumed into the dugout, and called out his players for not making dives for the balls hit at them...oops, the wrong guy to attack...one Derrick Lee, the massive 1B, and leader of the team...chaos erupted...CZ was booted from the team for an indefinite time...oh my, the heat of summer...
Just merrily going along...the Padres...lefty Clayton Richard be bopped and scatted...left the Marlins in the dust as he paired with the GAB pen and shut out the host Floridians...3-0...quietly picking up his game, Will Venable with another dinger...real curious if they get today's game in...we called off our Cocoa Beach trip due to the weather...revised it and are going to stay in the wine country of Temecula...
