The Day in Review

I cannot explain to you how sick I am of hearing about Brett Favre. I wish athletes would just retire with some dignity.

Injury News

• Billy Wagner's shoulder is being examined for tightness. No word on DL implications, but you might want to grab Duaner Sanchez if you're in the market for cheap saves.
• Jorge Posada is back on the DL. If you paid for his numbers last season in your draft, I hate to say it, but: We told you so.

Notable Performances

• A-Rod hit a two-run homer to help assure the Yankees life without Jorge will be okay.
• Scott Kazmir struck out 9 in seven shutout innings and BJ Upton stole bases number 29 and 30 for Tampa.
• Miguel Cabrera had 4 RBI and Gary Sheffield 3 more as Detroit scored 16 runs against KC.
• Javier Vazquez struck out 10 in seven, but Josh Hamilton brought his RBI total to 98 for the year as Texas defeated the ChiSox.

That's what you need to know about the day.
