First off, the funny baseball news that Pedro Martinez may be facing a career-declining injury due to an illegal undershirt. Oh yeah, and "substandard" Dolphin Stadium.

Secondly, check out this boxscore from George Steinbrenner's 76th birthday game at Jacob's Field.

The worst thing about this 19-1 loss?

Hafner: 4 runs, 3 hits, 1 walk, 5 plate appearances, 2 home-runs, 4 RBI
Peralta: 3 runs, 2 hits, 1 walk, 5 plate appareances, 2 home runs, 3 RBI
Jeter: 1 hit, 3 plate appearances

Guess which 2 of these 3 guys whom I have on my fantasy team were benched that game?

(As always, the worst thing is good reason: Hafner recently has been in-and-out with a bad elbow, and I have Thome/D-Lee as competing first basemen, so Lee was in the utility spot and Jeter took Peralta's SS duties. I hate when that happens)
