Down three to start the ninth, Mike Jacobs and Mark Teahen hit back-to-back homers, Miguel Olivo drew a walk (!), David DeJesus had an RBI triple, Willie Bloomquist a sac fly, and, just...

What is there left to say at this point?
Dayton's the most reliable man in baseball right now. We started making jokes about his position player ideas two years ago, and the hits just keep on coming. As the cliche goes, it would be funny, if it wasn't so sad.

It seems that day after day there are new claims made about Soriano. The one in Carrie Muskat's mailbag wasn't a new one, but it's easy enough to prove or disprove.
