The Morning Fix

By Slim Pickens on Jul 30, 2008, 7:28 am

Carlose Delgado hit yet another big home run Tuesday night, continuing his torrid pace at the plate and helping the Mets to a 4-1 victory over the Florida Marlins.  I’d congratulate Carlos on his new found stroke myself, but he was seen leaving the clubhouse with this guy.

A late Yankee rally fell one run short on Tuesday, with the Bombers falling to the Orioles 7-6, and losing their third straight after having won eight in a row.  The Orioles were led by Aubrey Huff, who went 4-for-5 at the plate including a 9th inning solo jack off of Mariano Rivera that would prove to put the O’s just out of reach.  Mo looked frustrated and emasculated after watching the homer sail over the fence, but wouldn’t you be too if you just got owned by a guy named Aubrey?

The biggest trade of this year thus far went down last night, with the best team in baseball acquiring former All-Star Mark Teixeira.  Upon joining the Halos, the first baseman said he looks forward to helping the Angels come up short of the playoffs this year, and to being dealt again at next year’s deadline.

The Houston Rockets made a huge move yesterday, dealing for the often embattled but always hard working Ron Artest.  The gritty forward’s presence will instantly improve an already solid team’s rebounding and defense by leaps and bounds, and will also increase the number of security guards with tranq guns at Houston home games tenfold.
