Quick Hitters....

It's pretty late and I'm pretty tired, but here are some thoughts from the day that was:

- Edwin Jackson is still not own-able in anything other than deep mixed or NL only leauges.

- Papelbon looked terrible tonight, blowing that game in pretty amazing fashion. The Red Sox need some major bullpen help. Dice-K also doesn't look like he's ever going to figure things out again.

- Doesn't it feel like every game in the NL West has 5 runs or less scored? There are so many amazing pitchers in that division, but the offenses seem to be atrocious.

- Am I the only one who didn't realize the Dodgers were on a 7 game winning streak that they made 8 tonight? I guess that's what happens when you actually have a decent offense in the NL West, but how long will it hold up without Ethier?

- How awesome was that Dan Uggla tag out today in the Diamondbacks-Marlins game? I have never seen anything like that, and it was awesome how he kept his glove between Tony Abreu's foot and the bag. If you haven't looked at this play, I highly suggest it.

- Hanley Ramirez should be embarrassed after that play tonight. The only way that's excusable is if we find out that he was hurt much worse than he led on. I think Freddie Gonzalez did the right thing, and that sends a message to a great young team.

- Did that Ryan Howard grand slam land yet?

- Another win for Cincy, and another great starting performance by Cueto, just sayin'...

- Nats have dropped 4 in a row, how will a team that doesn't have a track record of winning that's gotten off to a solid start rebound from a losing streak like this? Do the wheels fall off now?

- Justin Morneau might be one of the most underrated players in the league. There are a lot of people who forget that the guy has an AL MVP.

- Jason Heyward has shown that he's much more than a power hitter: He's hitting .367 in May and getting on base at a ridiculous .512 clip. If only the rest of the Braves offense produced as well as he was.

- For some reason, I can't stop watching Pawn Stars on the History Channel.

That's it, everybody have a good one. Get ready for Roy Halladay to embarrass the Pirates tomorrow, should be great.
