Today is one of those days that keeps me living in New England.

The Red Sox are still a game ahead of the Rays in the AL East and they are tied with the Pirates for first place in the MLB. The Red Sox and the Pirates are the only two teams above .600 with The Braves and the Rays only a game or two below .600.
This means that there is some pretty damned good baseball being played right now.
And speaking of baseball being played, seems that several players have been suspended for the remainder of the season because they just can't stay away from the stuff. Actually, they have been suspended for 50 games which is pretty much the end of the regular season. One or two of them may have to miss the first game of next season or, if their team makes into the post-season, the first game or two of the playoffs.
Alex Rodriguez, however, ended up with a 211 game suspension which equals the rest of this season plus all of next season. He will appeal the decision and play during the appeal but I don't think his teammates are going to be happy with him playing.
Let's face it, the man is a first-class jerk but he's still the best third baseman the Yankees have and they need him if they want to even think about a possible post-season shot.
