While nobody paid attention (or cared), the Astros lost their 100th game last night.

Washington and Cincinnati are first to clinch at least a wild-card spot. Cincy should clinch the division soon, Washington's got a bit to go.

The Pirates are apparently trying to kill their prospects:

Pirates prospects spent this past weekend in Florida performing military drills directed by former Navy SEALS, Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. General manager Neal Huntington and assistant GM Kyle Stark implemented the program, which started at 5 am daily and included running along the beach with a telephone pole, flipping truck tires, and diving into sand piles. Earlier in the year Stark emailed his players, encouraging them to “Dream and be creative like a Hippie. Have the discipline and perseverance of a Boy Scout. Be crazy and take risks like the Hells Angels.”
Kovacevic calls the Pirates' actions inexplicable and indefensible.
Players dreaded the activities and team officials feared them, Yahoo's Jeff Passan reports. MLB executives expressed skepticism about the program’s effectiveness. "I didn't like it,” one person told Passan. “Nobody did. They don't know what they're doing."
Top prospect Jameson Taillon once suffered a non-serious knee injury during the program’s hand-to-hand combat component, Passan reports.

Miggy now leads all Triple Crown categories (tied with Hamilton for HR's). I think he has a legit shot at winning it and the MVP along the way.
