      America's Top 10 Mascots

      Mascots have danced, tumbled, and roused American sports fans for decades. Some have even gained a little prestige over the years. Forbes lists its Top 10: Phillie Phanatic. Around since '78, this green creature once scuffled with Tommy Lasorda and inspired an announcer to say that "baseball is being invaded by the Muppets." San Diego Chicken. The first modern mascot, he was fired by the Padres after (some say) he got too big for his feathers. He later sparked fans in other sports and became a mini-celeb in his own right. Mr. Met. This baseball-faced mascot has been soothing the pains of New York's "other" team for more than 40 years. More »

      Red Sox Pedroia Top A.L. Rookie

      He batted .172 in April, yet Dustin Pedroia didn't lose faith -- and today he was rewarded. The Red Sox second baseman was named A.L. Rookie of the Year by baseball writers, easily topping Tampa Bay's Delmon Young. Add that to a World Series win and moving into a new house, and you'd say life is good for the 23-year-old. More »

Lilly, pitching on short rest, allowed just two runs and five hits against the Reds.  The Cubs won the game in the 8th on Matt Murton's pinch-hit fielder's choice that scored Ryan Theriot.   More »

      Colorado Rocks Milwaukee, 19-4

      Rookie Brewer Yovani Gallardo had a string of quality starts disrupted by a 2.2-inning, 11-run massacre in Colorado, the most runs given up by a Brewers pitcher in almost five years. Despite a miserable two-out walk-double-triple-double-single-homer sequence in the second, Gallardo was sent out to start the third to protect a weary bullpen. More »
