      Bonds Snubbed by Baseball Commish

      (Newser) - Just two blasts shy of Hank Aaron's all-time record, slugger Barry Bonds has a chance to become the new home run king in his own backyard. But Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig has vowed not to attend Bonds' seven-game homestand in San Francisco that began last night—nor take part in his imminent coronation ceremony. More »

      Lester Will Pitch for Boston

      (Newser) - Boston will send left-hander Jon Lester to the mound against Cleveland tonight, marking the 23-year-old's first outing since being diagnosed with cancer last year. "I don't think it really  has sunken in," said Lester, who put up a 3.89 ERA in his 14 games with Pawtucket this year. Manager Terry Francona said the move will send struggling starter Julian Tavarez to the bullpen. More »

      Reporter Gets Autograph on Walking Papers

      (Newser) - Japanese reporters have become a familiar sight in baseball clubhouses, but hints of a culture clash endure. A Fuji Evening News scribe who wasn't up on the American rules about asking players for autographs got a refresher course this week after he asked Roger Clemens for his John Hancock and the Baseball Writers' Association of America revoked his membership.

      Franco Returns 'Home' to Atlanta

      (Newser) - Giving new meaning to the term "senior circuit," 48-year-old Julio Franco returned to Atlanta last night and drove in two runs in a 10-1 rout of St. Louis. Cut loose by the Mets on July 12, Franco says he's glad to be "home" with the Braves, who won five division championships with the slugger before releasing him in 2005. More »

      Jays Snap Yanks' Win Streak

      (Newser) - The Blue Jays snapped the Yankees' five-game winning streak yesterday in the Bronx, hammering ace Chien-Ming Wang in a 3-2 win. Wang, who had been masterful this season, blew a 2-0 lead by surrendering six hits in the seventh, and the Bombers' bats had no reply. More »

      Bonds Busts Out With 752, 753

      (Newser) - San Francisco slugger Barry Bonds knocked two balls out of Wrigley Field today, bringing him two away from tying homer-leader Hank Aaron at 755. Driving in six runs, the pair ended an 0-for-21 slump and saved Bonds from matching his career-worst hitless streak. Following a familiar script, the Giants lost to the Cubs despite their star's big day. More »

      Yanks Down Jays in 10 Innings

      (Newser) - The Yankees downed the Jays last night in the Bronx, taking an oddball outing, 3-2, in 10 innings. After Toronto's Jeremy Accardo balked in the tying run in the 9th, reliever Casey Johnson beaned A-Rod in the 10th, then sent him to second on a wild pitch. Two batters later, Robinson Cano singled to left, scoring Rodriquez. More »

      Cubs Grab Kendall Fom Oakland

      (Newser) - The Cubs nabbed three-time All-Star Jason Kendall from Oakland yesterday, a move that ousts struggling catcher Rob Bowen. Bowen was acquired from San Diego last month, and batted only .065 in his 10 games for Chicago. The 33-year-old Kendall, a career .298 slugger, is slated to join the roster for Tuesday's match-up with San Francisco. More »

      Philly Loses 10,000th Game

      (Newser) - Philadelphia became the first Major League Baseball franchise to reach 10,000 losses yesterday, after a lopsided defeat by St. Louis; the 127-year-old club is now 8,810-10,000, a record that reflects one championship season and many more of total futility. This year's resilient Phillies had stalled at 9,999 for three games spanning the All-Star break. More »

      Mariners Lock in Ichiro for 5 More Years

      (Newser) - Ichiro Suzuki is officially the highest-paid Mariner of all time. The 33-year-old Japanese import signed a 5-year extension worth $90 million this week and is now sewn up through 2012. Seattle worked hard to secure its leadoff man, who was a hot item with deep-pocketed clubs like the Yankees even before hitting the first inside-the-park homer in All-Star Game history. More »
