This week's top 10 MLB takeaways

10) Matt Wieters came off the disabled list, just in time to remind all of his fantasy owners that he sucks

9) The Marlins had four walk-off wins in the week, delighting the dozens of Marlins fans in attendance

8) The Angels traded for Dan Haren, because the way to make up a half dozen games in the division is to bring in a big money pitcher with a 4.60 ERA from the weaker league

7) Andre Dawson was inducted into the Hall of Fame, because you can not tell the history of baseball without the extensive use of the Montreal Expos

6) The A's won eight of ten to pop over the .500 mark, proving that you can win more games than you lose even if you don't have a single outfielder that should be an everyday player in the major leagues

5) The Mets scheduled their usual September collapse early

4) The Phillies lost Jamie Moyer to injury, demoted Kyle Kendrick, didn't make a trade for Roy Oswalt, and... brought Kendrick back up to help rattle off a 4-game winning streak

3) Chone Figgins took a swing and miss at his manager, with the latter action surprising none of his current fantasy league owners

2) The Padres continued to not get the memo that they shouldn't be leading their division

1) Blake Wood, a relief pitcher for the Royals, earned the eternal gratitude of millions by hitting Alex Rodriguez, rather than giving him a shot at his 600th home run at home
