Cleveland Star *Sikora* Struggles with Injury
Cleveland's star shortstop Dominik *Sikora* injured himself in a game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, prompting the team to list him as day-to-day. The doctors are reporting the injury as a pinched nerve and the best medicine is a short period of rest. "Hopefully I don't get replaced by some hotshot wannabe," said *Sikora* with a smile as he talked to SION reporters.

Wednesday, July 25th, 2018:
500 Homers for Express Slugger
The Nashville Express defeated the Chicago White Sox 4-1 yesterday in a game that featured Iain *Bartholomew*'s 500th career home run.

In the clubhouse, the Express catcher spoke about the milestone achievement. "To be honest, I don't even remember my first home run," he said. "But this one I don't think I'll forget. Who knows if I'll hit another hundred, or fifty, or even ten?"

On his historic day, *Bartholomew* banged out 1 hit in 4 at-bats and scored 1 run with 2 runs batted in.

Sunday, July 29th, 2018:
Number 300 for *Nice*

St. Louis First Baseman Gets 400th Home Run
St. Louis's outstanding first baseman Jimmy *Giddy* joined the 400 Club today at Busch Stadium III with a booming blast in the Cardinals win over the Padres. They topped San Diego 3-0.

On his milestone day *Giddy* had 4 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 RBI and 1 run scored.

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."

*Giddy* is hitting .301 lifetime with 1749 hits, 330 doubles, 62 triples, 400 home runs and 1157 RBIs to date. He has scored 1301 runs, walked 1284 times and has a .430 OBP.

*Danger* Collects Hit Number 2000
Boston's Johnny *Danger* got the standing ovation -- but the Minnesota Twins got the win.
It was a historic day at Fenway Park II. A day when *Danger* notched hit #2000 of his career. The fans went wild when he did. Even the Twins fans applauded.

The Red Sox third baseman went 1-4 in a losing cause as Minnesota spoiled the party with the 6-2 victory.

In the postgame interview, a downhearted *Danger* told the media, "We lost -- It's not about individual accomplishments -- we lost."

When pressed further, he admitted his pride in reaching the 2000-hit mark, "A lot of great players never get there. I'm proud, but I would be happier if we had won."

In his career *Danger* is hitting .344 with a total of 391 home runs.

Major League Baseball News: Playoffs begin
What began months ago as a dream is now reality.
The trade deadline has past, along with all of the GM wheeling and dealing.
Contract negotiations are on hold until another time.
Front office work is all but on the back burner.
Now it's time for each club, player, coach and manager to put their own unique imprint on Major League Baseball history.
Nobody will remember the free agent who got away last winter.
No one will care about the trade that fell through right before the deadline.
People will remember just one thing about the playoffs -- the team that wins the World Series crown.
That's the reason they play the game.
The Divisional Series starts today with these match-ups:

Oakland Athletics versus Toronto Blue Jays
Kansas City Royals versus Boston Red Sox
San Francisco Giants versus St. Louis Cardinals
Cincinnati Reds versus Philadelphia Phillies
