THE GIANTS IN SECOND PLACE?!
Sanchez' 0.69 ERA is pretty impressive but what has me more impressed is the Giants are manufacturing some runs. Even Jose Castillo has at times done a pretty decent job of hitting the ball. Fred Lewis, Velez and now Burriss make this team exciting to watch. I know the pressure is on for the offense since the starting pitching and even relievers are winning the games. Aurilia...

Yankees after Washburn
ESPN's Buster Olney is reporting that the Yankees are taking a look at Jarrod Washburn. This is from MLBTR:
Washburn, 34 in August, has a 4.75 ERA in 110 innings this year. For what it's worth, he has a 3.03 ERA in 62.3 innings since May 25th. That's cherry-picking, though - 4.50-4.75 is Washburn's level. He can chew up 190 innings at the back end of a rotation...
