    How many World Series did each team win during those respective streaks?

    I know you were joking, but I believe it was nine for the Yankees (1958, 1961, 1962, 1977, 1978, 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000).

    Not a bad move by the Giants picking up Brad Penny. He's been awful lately for sure, but going back to the NL might give him a boost. Also, he can't be worse than the guys San Fran had starting in the 5th spot in their rotation.

    Holy fucking christ, Pirates.

    You have a 35-29 record at home. How about winning a road game for a change?

    Now that it's almost too late, the fire sale is finally on at New Comiskey Park.

    Thome, Dye, Konerko listed as available in the story. Also, Heyman just tweeted, "an annoyed #chisox gm ken willliams has let teams know dye, konerko, thome, linebrink, dotel, others are available."

    You knew it was coming at some point.

    Under 2,000 at Great American Smallpark for the first game of a doubleheader with Pittsburgh.

    Good to see the acquisition of Penny and Smoltz worked out pretty well for the Sox. ::)

    Nothing happening in Miami. Not a no-hitter for Josh Johnson or anything else historic in nature.

    MLBN guys are debating whether it's classless for Matt Diaz to show bunt on the first pitch in the 6th inning here.

    I say no. Get on base any way you can. It's a 1-0 game. The two teams are tied in late August and both in the wild-card race.

    Never mind. Diaz on a clean single to center. No-no gone.
