Top 10 MLB Takeaways of the Week

10) Jamie Moyer earned his ninth win of the year, proving that he's just as good as that Halladay guy

9) Carlos Zambrano's latest mind-blowing freakout earned him a suspension, a demotion to the bullpen if and when he returns, and the first truly entertaining Cubs' highlight of the year

8) Evan Longoria and BJ Upton got into each other, which should help to speed along the Desmond Jennings Era in Tampa

7) Edwin Jackson had 149 pitches and eight walks in a no-hitter that caused pitch count Nazis to file an unfair working conditions lawsuit

5) The Phillies won 2 out of 3 games against Toronto as the "away" team due to the predictable riots of the G20 summit, which could lead to historically insensitive puling from Brave and Met Fan later

4) The White Sox used their largest winning streak in 49 years to get back into the AL Central race, which is to say they've been fooled by two good weeks into ignoring their actual talent level

3) Jose Guillen's hitting streak reached 21 games, proving that such things get reported, even if they happen in Kansas City

2) Hanley Ramirez said he would miss fired manager Fredi Gonzalez, proving that he can also lie at an All-Star level

1) Umpire Gary Cederstrom admited that he blew a game-tying call on the Tigers, giving the greater Detroit area its first good reason to be depressed in minutes
