The Day in Review

The Mark Teixeira deal isn't done yet, but it may as well be. Here's why:

Injury News

• Both Chipper Jones and Tim Hudson have hit the Atlanta DL. Brian McCann is also hurt, but not currently DL-bound. Still, they can't believe the team can compete in the NL East shorthanded.
• Jorge Posada is finished for the year - he will undergo season-ending surgery. Zach today: "Boy am I glad I didn't overpay for catchers this year."
• John Maine left the game with shoulder tightness, but it doesn't appear to be too serious.
• Michael Young will be out for a week or so with a fractured finger. He's been a surprisingly reliable option at shortstop this year.

Notable Performances

• CC Sabathia failed to record a complete game against the Cubs today, proving that he is, in fact, mortal.
• Justin Morneau drove in three to back Kevin Slowey's complete game effort for Minnesota.
• Adam Dunn hit a grand slam, his 30th HR this year. 
• Adrian Beltre had a 2-HR night for Seattle.
• AJ Burnett struck out 10 in what was possibly his last start in Toronto (agree or disagree??)
• Adam Jones drove in 5 for Baltimore; D-Lee drove in 3 for the Cubs; Pujols drove in 3 for St. Louis.

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