Reyes' one-hitter is not enough to win

Reyes, a former Trojan, should be the next big star like Zito and Prior. USC has been consistently provide MLB excellent pitch stuff.
Reyes missed no-hitter by surrending a long shot to Thome, whose 24th HR leads AL.

Tony la Russa, manager of Cardinals, should keep Reyes in the rotation instead of sending him back to AAA.
Reyes' petoca card in BP ( http://www.baseballprospectus.com/pecota/reyesan01.php ) shows that he has excellent ability to fan out MLB players and still has good command of his pitches.

Do not make stupid move like Angels' manager Mike Scioscia did several days ago. He sent Jered Weaver back to AAA instead of put Jeff Weaver or Kevin Escobar into bullpens. Jered Weaver has won all of his four major league starts with a outstanding ERA 1.37 and WHIP 0.76. He stroke out 22 in 26.1IP while only walked 4. He should become the ACE in Angels' rotation soon. The problem of Angels' is their poor offense lineup. It is worth to trade their SP (excluding Jered Weaver) for sluggers.

Torre, stay there

昨日Yankees再戰Tigers
靠著Mussina的強投 六比零 來到九局下半 一出局
Polanco因為AROD的傳球失誤上到二壘
Torre這時候出來安撫一下
緊接著IROD二壘方向軟弱平飛球被CANO接殺
Ordonez打第一球 穿出三游支間的一壘安打 Polanco得到一分
使得Mussina的完封破局了 儘管是個非責任失分

這時候Torre又準備跑出休息區 想把Mussina換下場了
只見Mussina很帥氣的對著Torre叫到
No, stay there.
(雖然各大媒體都是報導 Get back in there 不過我怎麼看嘴型都是 no, stay there)

Torre也很識趣的雙手一攤 OK 回座位繼續笑笑的看球
接著Mussina用本場比賽的第100顆球三振了Guillen 完投無責失

This is the play of the day to me.
