Projections for eight new big league hitters, including Dustin Pedroia, Kevin Kouzmanoff, and Delmon Young.

Rick’s weekly review of baseball’s injuries

On a day when the master (Barry Bonds) hit his 729th HR, Ryan Howard and Albert Pujols showed him how to really put on the home run fireworks.

Every road team won their game in the American League. In the National, Bonds hit home run number 728.

Team rosters could expand beyond their 25-man limit yesterday, so there was more action off the field than on it.

Ryan Howard hit the fifth-longest home run of the year and broke the Philly record for home runs in a season…before the end of August.

The Cubs score two in the 11th, then give up three in the 11th, the Astros beat the Brewers on a brain freeze by catcher Damian Miller in the bottom of the ninth and games go into extra innings in Texas and Cleveland. But none of those games are our Game of the Day.

Barry Bonds hit two home runs in one game for the first time since 2004 (career total=727), Ryan Howard tied Mike Schmidt’s HR club record with his 48th and Delmon Young homered in his first major league game.

Rick checks in with updates on Aaron Rowand’s ankle, Gary Sheffield’s hand and more.

The Devil Rays bring up Delmon Young for the first time. Plus, Derrek Lee returns, The King throws his first career shutout and lots of season-ending surgeries.
