Shutouts are AWESOME!!!

Apparently tonight was shutout night in MLB, so here's the tale of the tape:

Chicago Cubs 14, Florida 0

Hey, Sergio Mitre wants to be the Cubs' fifth starter! What's more shocking is the Josh Beckett implosion.

NY Yankees 9, Pittsburgh 0

Mussina shuts out Pirates. This is actually his second shutout of the year, you might recall that he was the one to finally throw a shutout after that long shutout-free Yankee stretch.

Milwaukee 4, Tampa Bay 0

Tomo Ohka throws the shutout! Apparently he's pretty glad to be going to a team that stays in one place, even if it is the Brewers. I actually think that Milwaukee's staff is pretty good: Santos, Davis, Capuano, and Ohka have all been decent this year, and of course Ben Sheets is dominant when he pitches. Nobody on that staff has an ERA above 4, which is remarkable.

Boston 7, Cincinnati 0

This was a one-hitter by Boomer Wells, and you would figure that the hot and cold Reds might play a part in it. If anything, they're excellent candidates to get no-hit sometime this year.

St. Louis 7, Toronto 0

Chris Carpenter dominated the Blue Jays tonight; I guess he's getting some revenge on his former team. Ten strikeouts, one hit.

As we speak, Oakland's Joe Blanton is shutting out the Mets through six, and there's no score in the Washington/Anaheim game through five. It's a good night for pitching, I reckon.

UPDATE! Joe Blanton completed his shutout last night, but the LA Angels/ Washington game ended up 6-3. I guess you really can't win them all.
