Notes

Albert Belle has had an outstanding week for the second week in a row. He was named AL Player of the Week by MLB for the past two weeks. This past week has pushed his totals up to a .302 BA, and put him into the top 5 in the AL for home runs, RBIs, total bases, slugging percentage, and extra base hits. It looks like Albert Belle has finally regained his Cleveland Indians form, and is earning his salary in Chicago (well, almost).
The only thing to mar Belle's torrid week was being arrested on Sunday. He was arrested for allegedly beating a woman, and then ripping her phone of the wall as she tried to call for help. Belle claims that there is no validity to the charge. Yeah right Albert. This is certainly not Belle's first physical altercation. One does not have to think back very far to remember a group of kids being chased down the street by the slugger, for egging his house on Halloween. Or how about when he was fined for going into a fit of rage and spewing obsceneties at reporter, Hannah Storm. Last but not least, I'm sure Fernando Vina can still feel the bruises he received after being decked on the basepaths by Belle.
But remember, it has been a great week for Albert Belle. Let's just hope that he can limit his beatings to American League pitching.
