NATIONAL LEAGUE

THE GOOD

• Johnny Cueto Ks 10 in seven one-hit innings. He already is what most are hoping Francisco Liriano will come back to be
• Chris Burke is now 1B eligible in leagues with 1 game requirement - Great! Now I can move Derrek Lee to UT!
• Felipe Lopez is now OF eligible in leagues with 1 game requirement - More importantly, he was in the starting lineup!
• Jeff Keppinger staking claim to full-time SS gig in Cincy going 2-for-3 with a double and home run
• Brad Thompson throws 6.2 shutout innings with six Ks allowing six hits and two walks
• Ryan Dempster allows two runs (one earned) over six innings with five Ks, three hits and two walks
• Kerry Wood earns his first save in one inning of work, striking out two and allowing one hit
• Scott Hairston goes 3-for-3 with two runs a double and a triple
• Randy Wolf allows one earned run over six innings with five Ks, four hits and two walks

THE BAD

• Jason Kendall bats ninth behind David Bush
• Carlos Marmol enters the game in the 7th inning - he pitched well, but entering the game in the 7th inning isn't a good way to earn saves
• David Bush walks five over 5.1 innings. He never walked more than three batters in a start in all of 2007. At least he got to bat eighth!

THE UGLY

• Chris B. Young must own Johnny Cueto in the DBacks roto league, he wore the golden sombrero with four Ks in four ABs
• Mike Hampton is Mr. Glass from the movie Unbreakable
