11

Magic Number for the Dodgers, 11. Magic number for the Titans, still 15. Tennessee are 1 point underdogs at Cincy (Troy, we both want Tennessee to win after that whole Cincinnati incident).

Andruw Jones is done for the year. Ned even trashed him a bit it seems (rightfully so, though I don't see it improving his possible performance for next year, which I'm more optimistic than most about).

Saito is back, with the 4.5 game lead I'd give him a chance to find his groove as closer again before getting to the playoffs.

Grats to Andre, come back soon. Juan Pierre, you get trashed more than you deserve, but you handle it like a professional. Of course, I don't believe you should be starting over Andre, Manny, or Kemp, you have done nothing less than expected of you when you signed, and any and all frustration aimed at you should be taken out on Ned. I hope for your sake you are traded because you deserve to start on a smaller market and you don't deserve to be trashed for delivering less than what you were advertised to do. But for now, please do well in Andre's absence.
