*North* Hurt, Out for 2 Weeks
A blow for Michael Danger *North* today -- team doctors confirmed he will miss 2 weeks with a damaged meniscus. *North* suffered the injury making a defensive play. Although officials from the Chicago White Sox are confident he'll make a full recovery, doubts will persist about *North*'s ability to return fully fit with an injury of this nature.


Monday, May 7th, 2018:
*Marshall* Smacks 5 Hits for Angels
It's not something you read in the sports pages everyday -- a 5-for-5 day. It may only come around once in a career -- a lot of players never have one -- but James *Marshall* got one today. He scattered hits all over Angel Stadium of Anaheim to pace Los Angeles to a 12-1 victory over Oakland.

The Oakland skipper told reporters in the press room, "Tip your hat to him. He hit some good pitches. According to the scouting report, *Marshall* hit several that he is not supposed to hit."

J. *Marshall* singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off D. Rojas in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off G. Ryan in the 7th.

Some more financially prudent fans worried that the signing would burden the club down the road and might prevent it from being competitive, though many others were simply thankful that *Jay* didn't bolt.


Sunday, May 13th, 2018:

The Reds will have to decide over the next day or two whether the first baseman will go on the disabled list.


Friday, May 18th, 2018:
400 Home Runs for Chicago Slugger

Tongue-in-cheek he told the press, "Don't tell me when I get close to the next milestone. Just tell me after I reach it. It will be easier to hit that way."

In his career stats *Toner* has compiled a .331 batting average and collected 1790 hits, 400 home runs and 1194 RBIs.

Gene *Keurulainen* Hits #500
It was a historic day for Chicago's fine third baseman Gene *Keurulainen*. He slammed home run number 500 in the Cubs 5-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers at Wrigley Field.

He told reporters after the game, that he was disappointed in losing the game. "It's great to get that many homers, but I don't play for homers -- I play to win. That's the name of the game."

In his milestone-making game *Keurulainen* went 2 for 4, scored 1 run and collected 1 RBI. That home run put him in a select group of ballplayers.

*Blood* 5-5 for New York
There are moments in a player's career that are etched into their memories forever. Jonno *Blood* of the New York Yankees had one of those moments when he went 5 for 5 at the plate today in the 25-7 win over the Chicago White Sox at Yankee Stadium II.

The 30-year-old second baseman told reporters in the postgame interview, "This is a day I won't forget soon, but I'll settle to just get a hit or two every day...enough hits to hang around the league a little bit longer... like 10... 15 more years maybe."

J. *Blood* walked in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, hit a two-run triple in the 5th, singled in the 7th and walked in the 8th.
