Shame to see Ichiro fading in his twilight. I'm glad I got to see him in his prime. One of my favorite players.

Me too. His style was see the ball, hit the ball in a poetic fashion. The moneyballers kept expecting his "luck" to run out...it took a while though.

Escobar hit a three run homer off Pineda after a two out rally.

Pitching fans may want to watch Cobb tonight.

Pitching fans may want to watch Cobb tonight.

Through five Cobb has thrown 59 pitches; an error on a lazy fly ball short of a perfect game.

Jeter just erred again.

[JR Oriole]

Cobb is probably as talented as Kershaw....just hasn't had the consistency yet. Dude should win 20 next year with that filth he throws. Of course, Pineda might win 20 also.

Myers thrown out at home.
