The Day in Review

Tonight, Zach and I began our transition to fantasy football - I'm happy to report that my team will be dominating his this fall (something I could never achieve this summer).

Injury News

• That jerk JJ Putz put Evan Longoria on the DL for 15 days (possibly more) with a fractured wrist. Zach's take: "That really hurts the Rays."
• I think I missed reporting Carl Crawford yesterday - he "felt his right hand pop," meaning the injury is mysterious. 

Notable Performances

• John Danks struck out nine in seven innings, throwing a no-hitter until Kevin Youkilis's single in the seventh. Still, he took the loss.
• Zach just recited Corey Hart's night to me: 2-for-4 with a homer, a steal, and 2 RBI... or something like that.
• Nick Markakis was a homer shy of the cycle. Realizing it's the second half, he's begun performing incredibly well.
• Derek Lowe - 6 1/3, 3 earned, 3 strikeouts. My take: pretty mediocre night, pretty much what Zach predicted.

Oh, and Adam Dunn is a Diamonback. He has 8 home runs left this season, and oh by the way his average is up to .233. That's what you need to know about the day.
