Kevin Millar is a golden god!
God bless the horrid Cheeto-colored Hulkamania handlebar on Kevin Millar's little face. At this point in the season, who could've known that he had it in him to bust out, not one, but two (2!) homers in one game? Right off the Coke bottle on top of the monster! Oh, hell yes.
Wakefield got off to a shaky start, giving up a lead-off home run in the first, and two more homers in the the third. But he pulled it together admirably, saying after the game that he made some adjustments to his hands. This lends credence to the theory that the last major league knuckleballer is indeed a robot.
Other things have been going on with teams that aren't the Red Sox. Let's take a look at them:
Unfortunately the Mariners couldn't get anything off of Randy "No, I'm not Jeff Foxworthy" Johnson, so we're still just two and a half games in front of the MFY.
Speaking of ex-Mariners, it makes me giddy that Ken Griffey is having a hot streak. I kind of thought he was done, so it's good to see him doing something again. And maybe he'll be in Chicago next year? I dunno. He says no.
It's also pretty awesome that the Nats picked up a game in the super-tight NL wildcard (Seriously, they're in fifth for the wildcard, but they're only two games back. Toronto's in the same spot in the AL, but they're a full nine games out).
Just in case there was any question: October looms, and it's time to get obsessed.
