The Day in Review

Sorry all for the Delayed Day in Review, it took a solid night of sleep for me to figure out why I had no internet connection (The Airport in my basement had been unplugged; yes, by me earlier that day). So now I can give you what you've been cravings, complete with some bad news...

Injury News:

• Carlos Lee is done for the season, opting to undergo the (very small) knife in finger surgery. It's got to be a pretty ugly break considering the amount of time missed.
• Orlando Hudson joins Lee in the category "players not likely to return this season" with a dislocated wrist. I actually didn't know that you could dislocate your wrist, and I sympathize with Orlando since it sounds excruciating. Look for the D-backs to trade for a second basemen.
• Jose Contreras ruptured his Achilles Tendon and will miss the rest of season and probably some of next season. Another trade seems likely as the Twins nip at the White Sox heels.

Notable Performances:

• Carlos Zambrano gave up four homeruns to the Cards, including two to Troy Glaus (the others to Schumaker and Pujols) in an uggly game in which he allowed nine earned runs. His own homer didn't make up for it, and for those wondering, the wind was actually blowing in.
• Miguel Cabrera had two bombs of his own, and if he comes on very strong he could justify his first round pick. I still think he's overrated though.
• Liriano had five K's in 5.2 innings, but gave up three runs to the Royals. As soon as his opponents don't make you salivate, consider trading him.
• Ben Sheets tossed the complete game shutout for the Brewers reliever's second straight day off.

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