While the Mariner's continue to pray they don't lose 100 games, there are some big games being played this week.
With the Yanks having a doubleheader today against the Twins, it will be interesting to see how they do in a possible playoff preview. The Yanks have serious starting pitching issues, while the Twins counter with Santana. Should be fun to see who gets the upper hand. Meanwhile the Red Sox are still hanging around.
Meanwhile, David Letterman had Gary Sheffield read a Top-Ten List on his show that read:
