Today's Fantasy Rx: We're not pleased that we chose the losers of all three games yesterday, particularly since the Cubs couldn't eke out more than two runs after loading the bases with no outs in the first. Hopefully the Red Sox will recover from their heartbreaking loss last night to draw even with Oakland as New York likely also should tie their series today. My predictions for today's games(all times CDT):

3:00 on ESPN: Boston@Oakland
7:00 on Fox: Minnesota@New York Yankees

Also, we advocate thoroughly documenting each league in which you participate every year and find this record especially necessary for keeper leagues. If you haven't already printed copies of both league standings and your team's player stats, please do so immediately as some stat services don't necessarily keep scores on-line for more than a few days past the end of the regular season.
