"NEW YORK David Newhan, five weeks short of his 31st birthday, finally played a game at Yankee Stadium. He showed up early on Thursday, exchanged his jeans for a gray pair of baseball pants, joined his teammates at a card table in the Baltimore Orioles' clubhouse, and began to kill time."

""I'm just glad that the news, even though there's something going on, he can be treated and recover completely," Torre said after the Yankees beat Baltimore 2-1. The team is optimistic that Giambi will return before the end of the regular season. "From a baseball standpoint, he'll be back playing sooner rather than later," general manager Brian Cashman said. "By all indications, he'll be back with us some time this year." Giambi, a former AL MVP, is batting only .221 with 11 home runs and 36 RBIs. He's felt fatigued virtually all season and tried to play through it. He hasn't been in a game since last Friday night at Boston."

"Ortiz, who is now one of the best hitters in baseball, recalls that nobody wanted to sign him until Jan. 22, 2003, after the Twins let him go. "I guess because nobody knew me. You know how that goes," Ortiz said. "I've been working on a different approach to hitting," said Ortiz, who signed a $1 million contract. I know that my friend, Yankees principal owner George Steinbrenner, recommended that his team sign Ortiz and got talked out of it by his people, something George hasn't let them forget."
Surprises in this year's AL: Zero

"This week's AL Roundup draws primarily on the year's most depressing development - the first-place New York Yankees. The most common theme of every baseball season for the last five or six years has been dethroning the Yankees. The Bombers go into every spring as the Series favorite, and this year has been no different, particularly in the American League, where no true challenger has emerged. The AL Central has produced its typical midseason outcome; the Twins and White Sox are battling fiercely to earn the honor of being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs."
