Rockies 3, NAAAts 1: Aaron Cook, mistakes aplenty, sink the S.S. Acta. Or just blame it all on The Curse of Jamey Carroll?
Hey Manny, Zimmerman should be benched today for his rally-killing brain cramp in the 8th.
Meanwhile...
Injury Shocker! Alex Escobar is hurt again! Da Meat Hook is clearly faking a heel injury because he doesn't want to be traded! Simontacchi heads to the 15-day DL!
Stadium Shocker! NAAAts locked in a nasty dispute with the D.C. Sports and Entertainment Commission over who's gonna pay for the gold plated toilet seats and light fixtures in the new stadium. There may yet be baseball at RFK in 2008!
Farewell to the Chief! NAAAts expected to recall new closer Chris Booker from Columbus today in preparation for the deal that'll send Chad Cordero packing tomorrow...
