Mike Lowell heating up. Hit 322 in July. Only 2 hr and 14 rbi but signs of life are there.

Jenkins has been hot a long time now. Sexson apparently hot because his stats are rgeat and they werent good at all when I last checked.

Pettitte has given up 2 or fewere earned runs in SEVEN of his last 8 starts. I believe even 1 or 0 in most or all of those.

as I said... jenkins. He was 5 for 5 today. Sad part is I waived him a week or two ago and someone else got him. lol

RJ might miss next start. Oh well, he has sucked fat monkey arse all yr anyway.

Pavano is having his shoulder re-examined. More bad news for the evil empire.

rj and jaret wright both back for 2 starts nextw eek apparently.

David ortiz just had 4 hits, including 2 homers and 6 batted in. Rickie weeks has 2 homers. Barrett is hot for a ctahcer and had 3 hits, including a homer. Adam Dunn is hitting around .340 his past 22 games with 9 homers.

Podsednik DL'ed. i forgot to post it earlier when Megan told me. Guess thatw as why Aaron tried to deal him to me earlier last week.

Oliver Perez first rehab start. - 1 2/3 ip 7 er

Kevin Mench, whom I picked up late last week, is ON FIRE. Homering in 6 straight games, while kncking in 20 in the past week!!!

One of my fantasy teams has 8 players batting .333- .400! Including Vernon and Berkman having 8 homers each to go with averages of .350+. Then Andruw with 8, but under .300 average.

Before getting hurt, Harden already had 6 k's in 3 and 1/3 innings yesterday.

Also idiot Delmon Young HIT an umpire in the chest with a bat because he was mad at a strike call. That guy is stupid. I remember last eyar him making public statements bashing the d-rays for not calling him up also. He is asking for trouble. Reminds me of Milton bradley's personality. Or Carl Everett.

Kerry wood hit 95 mph on the radar gun in a 3 inning rehab start and gave up no runs!

Thank you.

Young is an idiot for the umpire thing but criticizing the Dbags for not calling him up is justified. The dbags are not calling him to maximize their service time on him. They have admitted this themselves. Thats plain cheap. Basically telling the fans they wont comptete yet so we're not gonna do anything with our best prospect until we are ready.

Oh ok, I didn't really know the whole deal on Delmon.

I hope Wood can get healthy enough. I have him stashed away in 1 league.

Remember how cold Corey Patterson and Johnny Estrada started?

Estrada is now up to .300 and Patterson is almost at .290. VERY hot players.

Erik Estrada plays baseball?

Patterson has a nice 3 or 4 game hot streak going. This wasnt meant sarcastically.

If you don't know that estrada has a streak just as good going, you aren't paying attention. he was 4 for 4 with a homer and 4 batted in yesterday also.

Aaron, tell me some players you think will be hot or are currently hot who could possibly be free agents in some leagues. I mainly need batting average guys and runs scored. I could always use other categories, but mainly those. Or even some good pitchers.

Just want your opinions, because it seems like every high average or run scorer player I pick up suddenly goes into a slump.

Orlando Hudson, Mark Elllis, Jay Payton, Delmon Young, Matt Murton, Macier Izturis, Frank Thomas, Emil Brown

I doubt any of those will be other than Delmon.

Chris Duffy is on fire though, with 2 homers and 4 steals in the past 2 days and he had 11 or 12 steals last month.
