MONDAY, MONDAY From yesterday’s action: one for the birds SCHEDULE  Several teams have days off today (including the White Sox, who just finished up 19 days straight!). Old Man Weaver has still got "it," if by "it" you mean low-80s "fastballs." Twins and Astros begin the Baseball Basement Brawl. Shields has 4 losses, as he continues to look for his first win tonight; the Padres are unlikely to help him in his quest. NLW is so mediocre that despite being 9-16, the Padres are only 3.5 back. Speaking of tire fire teams, Foltynewicz is back on the bump for Atlanta! Today in Baseball History courtesy baseball-reference.com 1876 - Ross Barnes of the Chicago White Stockings hits the first home run in National League history off the Cincinnati Reds' Cherokee Fisher. 1920 - The first game in the history of the Negro National League is played. The Indianapolis ABCs host the Chicago American Giants, managed by Rube Foster. 1939 - Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees does not play against the Detroit Tigers at Briggs Stadium, ending at 2,130 his streak of consecutive games played. An ailing Gehrig removes himself from the lineup, telling his manager Joe McCarthy that he cannot play because of continuing weakness. Doctors will later diagnose Gehrig with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a fatal disease that affects the muscles. Gehrig will never play again. 1995 - Hideo Nomo of the Los Angeles Dodgers becomes the first Japanese native to play in the majors in three decades. Nomo pitches five scoreless innings of one-hit ball, but the Dodgers blow a 3 - 0 lead and lose to San Francisco, 4 - 3. 2007 - Jarrod Saltalamacchia of the Braves sets the record for the longest name in major league history. 15 prior players have had 13 letters in their last names, with the record having stood since the 19th Century. 2012 - Jered Weaver throws the 10th no-hitter in franchise history for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, disposing of Minnesota, 9 - 0. Born on This Day  1887 - Eddie Collins 1985 - Jarrod Saltalamacchia 1988 - Neftali Feliz 1990 - Erasmo Ramirez 1991 - Jonathan Villar 1992 - Yadiel Rivera All-Star ballots available here!

Hey, remember that crazy Jays-Rangers ALDS last year? Remember that crazy game 5 with those crazy errors and the beer-covered babies and 50,000 screaming Canadians all hopped up on maple syrup and pennant fever and that crazy bat flip? Well, the Rangers are back in Toronto so prepare to have it all rehashed ad nauseum. Roof closed with Dickey starting so prepare your anuses, Blue Jays fans.

I did notice the wind picking up though so I guess theyre just making sure all the hits Dickey gives up stop at the track instead of getting a little boost to go over.

I want a batter to combine choo choo hands with Rizzos hump and Fowlers weird constant re-clutching of the bat. Who has a weird stance on the Cubs? Bryants is a little odd.

Mike Foltynewicz has given up 3HR in 0.1 IP after a callup to replace Bud Norris. This is the kind of start that breaks a guy forever.

As the game started, I decided to watch the 12-run inning from last week (I missed it live) on a separate screen so I've been living in a panopticon of Mets dongers for the past 30 minutes.
