Redemption for Skip Bayless.
Skip Bayless redeemed himself today with his sports version of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," a lovely little satire that had me snickering for some time. Stuff like this is why he's a sportswriter and I'm a marginally-employed student jetting to grad school... ah, well.
In other news, those wacky Nationals are on a losing streak, and the A's are continuing to make me look stupid. I kind of think that Washington's luck has run out; they simply aren't going to hit enough, even with Preston Wilson. Oakland, however, has Rich Harden and Barry Zito, and those guys are the Clemens/Oswalt of the AL; they'll win enough games to keep their team in the race regardless. I really should have recognized that earlier, but I think I've got it now.
Speaking of teams who should keep trading, now would probably be a good time for the Rockies to trade Todd Helton. He's hitting again, just like he used to, and he could completely change the complexion of any race he gets thrown into. He's also currently batting .407 in July, which is remarkable.
Is anything more important in the AL than the 10 times that Oakland and Minnesota play each other in the next two months?

Joe Randa has been traded for a box of corn flakes; namely, one Justin Germano (who?), a marginal minor league starter, and one Travis Chick, a highly-rated prospect who's doing real bad in Mobile. Nice.
