20, 16, 1, 6-3

Twenty being the number of runs the Rangers scored tonight. Haha Twins! Schadenfreude!

Sixteen being the number of games in a row Seattle has lost. 10-3 losers tonight in New York; the same outfit that swept the Pretenders in Safeco in June. (Schadenfreude!)

One being the number of managers tossed in tonight's 6-3 Tigers loss in Chicago. Skipper Leyland once again getting the thumb for pointing out to the plate umperor that the strike zone in the fifth inning wasn't quite the same as it was when the game started.

They had Carlos Quentin struck out. But the ump said no, Quentin doubled in the go-ahead runs, and the rule of thumb prevailed. A rewarding night at US Cellular it was, for everyone who came out to watch Jim Wolf call balls and strikes.

One (game) also being the Pretenders' lead in the AL Central after the Indians' 3-2 walkoff win over the Angels.  Jason Kipnis plated the winning run with his first major league hit, something no indian had ever done.
