Dye Cleanup, Swisher Walks

What the @&*$^&*#*&^% is Ken Macha thinking? Jermaine Dye is batting cleanup, and he has a broken thumb! Bat him ninth, for chrissakes.

Bases loaded, 0 outs in the third, Dye whiffs on three fastballs.

Sheesh.

Meanwhile, Nick Swisher has made his major league debut. Naturally, he walked in his first plate appearance.

UPDATE: Swisher doubled in his second PA, for his first major-league hit.

UPDATE #2: Holy Toledo, Dye popped out trying to bunt in the 4th with two outs and runners on first and third. Dude, if you can't play, don't play.

MLB Heavyweight Champion

If MLB champs were decided like boxing: beat the champ, and you're the champ.

The 2008 season started with the Red Sox as champs. They were beaten by the A's, who were beaten back by Boston, who were then swept by Toronto, who lost to Oakland, who lost to Cleveland, and so on, until we reached our current champion.

The Heavyweight of the Year is the team that wins the most title bouts at the end of the season.

Current Champion (as of 5/17):
Cincinnati Reds
