WEEK 5 STANDINGS  Roughly 30 games in and the Cubs and White Sox lead their leagues. The Braves and Twins are playing some Bad Base Ball, whereas the Phillies have been surprising a lot of teams who thought they'd be easy pickings. MONDAY'S SCHEDULE  Today in Baseball History courtesy baseball-reference.com 1916 - Thirty walks are allowed at Philadelphia as Detroit overwhelms the A's, 16 - 2. Tiger rookie George Cunningham is lifted with one out in the 3rd inning after walking six batters. He is given the win, but leaves with a no-hitter and leading 9 - 0. Eighteen of the walks are issued by the A's - 12 by reliever Carl Ray - on their way to a season total of 715. 1984 - The longest - and slowest - game in American League history ends in the 25th inning when Harold Baines homers off Chuck Porter to give the White Sox a 7 - 6 victory over the Brewers. It is the latest homer in history. The game falls one inning shy of the major league record, but takes by far the most time to play: 8 hours and 6 minutes. 2010 - Dallas Braden pitches the 19th perfect game in major league history as the Oakland A's defeat the Tampa Bay Rays, owners of the best record and best offense in the majors coming into the game, 4 - 0. For only the third time ever, the reigning Cy Young Award winners face off. David Price and R.A. Dickey get no-decisions as the Rays top the Blue Jays, 5 - 4. The other match-ups had been Orel Hershiser vs. Frank Viola in 1989 and Tom Glavine vs. Roger Clemens in 1999. 2014 - Yu Darvish comes within one out of throwing a no-hitter as the Rangers' ace allows a single to David Ortiz with two outs in the 9th. Born on This Day  1960 - Tony Gwynn 1978 - Aaron Harang 1979 - Brandon Webb 1984 - Prince Fielder 1984 - Chase Headley 1990 - Jace Peterson 1991 - Oswaldo Arcia 1993 - Luis Perdomo

Joe Mauer is batting leadoff for the Twins. I don't even think I can remember seeing a 1B lead off.

From what I was reading since the Padres don't have a day off Thursday for travel and the two teams don't really have a ton of mutual off days that don't involve major travel issues they want to get these three in if at all possible - here are the potential mutual days off: 5/16 (Cubs home, heading to MIL - Padres @MIL, heading home) 5/26 (Cubs @STL, heading home - Padres @SFG, heading to ARI) 6/9 (Cubs @PHI, heading to ATL - Padres home, heading to COL) 8/4 (Cubs home, heading to OAK - Padres homestand) 8/8 (Cubs @OAK, heading home, Padres home, heading to PIT) 8/25 (Day off after 3-game Cubs/Padres series in San Diego, Cubs heading to LAD, Padres heading to MIA)

Z is only 34, he should be throwing junkballs, knocking dingers, and instigating bench clearings as a ROOGY somewhere

Also, I'm confused because I thought last week was the Week 5 thread. Shouldn't this be week 6? Or are the weeks regressing as well?

I guess it's not the worst thing to get a day off after a 13-inning game.
