Throwing Like a Girl  —  What a woeful job the press did on covering Randy Johnson last night.  None of them state the obvious, that Johnson's mechanics are screwed up.  The Boston Globe, New York Daily News and New York Newsday all basically have the same story.  Here's Posada in the Globe:

Billy gets his money's worth  —  'THERE'S A closer, Billy," the one guy shouted at Billy Wagner, as Phils reliever Tom Gordon left the adjacent bullpen and headed out to pitch the top of the ninth inning.  The Phillies fans, shouldered in along the railing above the Mets'  —  bullpen, were hoarse and happy.

Phenom Hamels to be called up to Phils  —  Lefty to start in Cincinnati on Friday; Madson sent to bullpen  —  PHILADELPHIA — The International League may throw as big a party as the Phillies faithful, who have been waiting for this day.  —  Cole Hamels is leaving the baffled hitters …

Pelfrey striking on farm  —  BINGHAMTON - The Mets may be hesitant to bring up Mike Pelfrey, the jewel of their farm system, but the 22-year-old righthander may force their hand after another impressive outing for Double-A Binghamton last night.  —  Overpowering at times and poised beyond his years …

Bonds gets some love, but even Giants fans seem to be tiring of this act  —  Bonds gets some love, but even Giants fans seem to be tiring of this act  —  SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — By now, it's apparent no one really knows quite how to deal with Barry Bonds and his steroid-fueled rush into the record books.

Martinez finally gets his control  —  PHILADELPHIA — Pedro Martinez always has been considered the key to postseason dreams for the Mets, but with the back end of the rotation in turmoil, it seems even more so these days.  That's what made the first few innings of last night's 5-4 loss …

Daily Dish: May 10  —  It was just another night for the Yankees' Jose Tabata.  The 17-year-old had three more hits, including a double, for low Class A Charleston to extend his hitting streak to eight games and raise his season line to .368/.398/.552.  —  "He is just a pretty special kid," Charleston manager Bill Mosiello said.

Even Francoeur walks  —  Atlanta Braves outfielder Jeff Francoeur entered the three-game series without a walk in 133 plate appearances.  But that streak didn't last long against a Marlins staff that has been averaging nearly five walks a game as Brian Moehler managed to do in the sixth inning …

First Person  —  Dontrelle Willis, Marlins Pitcher  —  As told to Ben Reiter  —  On being 24 and having six younger teammates  —  I have a good time with these younger guys.  They tend to have more enthusiasm.  But it's not like I'm the wise owl or anything.  I'm still learning myself.

Under The Knife  —  Game Shortage  —  Short days stink.  There aren't enough games, and seldom any day games to let me spread out my baseball pleasure.  With the lack of games usually comes a lack of injuries for me to talk about.  While I'm all for an injuries shortage, I want it to be an issue of quality, not one of quantity.

Pujols does it again  —  Chris Carpenter would be among the first to tell you that considerable luck is involved in winning 21 games, although when he won that many last year there really weren't any he didn't deserve to win.  —  But bad luck can skew this equation, too.
