''For the people who have not been introduced to the "Home Runs of the Day" yet, let me just clarify a couple of things: * The "situation part" (the part that states the score) is the score after the home run is it. ** And, on a second note, the first part of the score is the score of the home run hitter's team. The second number represents the opponent's team.''

Notes:
Carlos Pena of the Tampa Bay Rays still leads the Majors in home runs (6). Mark Reynolds (Arizona Diamondbacks), Mike Jacobs (Florida Marlins), Justin Upton (Arizona Diamondbacks), Raul Ibanez (Seattle Mariners), and Bill Hall (Milwaukee Brewers) are all tied for second place with 5 homers, along with Derrek Lee (Chicago Cubs), Pat Burrell (Philadelphia Phillies), and Chris Young (Arizona Diamondbacks), who hit their respective home runs today. *8 players now have 5 home runs: 7 from the National League, and 1 from the American League.

Jeff Francis of the Colorado Rockies still has 6 home runs with the lead for the most home runs surrendered so far this season. However, there is a new pitcher added to the picture for the most home runs surrendered: Scott Baker of the Minnesota Twins, who surrendered 3 long balls today to tie Jeff Francis for the lead in this disliked category. Bronson Arroyo (Cincinnati Reds), Brett Myers (Philadelphia Phillies, Roy Oswalt (Houston Astros) Jason Bergmann (Washington Nationals), and Todd Wellemeyer (St. Louis Cardinals) Andy Sonnanstine (Tampa Bay Rays) and Jason Jennings (Texas Rangers) are all tied for second place with 5.

Homer of the Day (April 14, 2008)
And the Homer of the Day of April 14, 2008, belongs to...

NO ONE YET

You guys have to wait until I post the home runs of April 17, 2007 (when I get caught up). That will give you guys enough time to vote for the "Homers of the Day" as well as enough time for me to post the articles I should've written over the past couple of days.

On a side note, I'd like some sort of a logo for the "Homer of the Day". Since I'm not great with pictures and stuff like that, I'm going to have to ask AGM for help. If it's all right with one of you guys, I'd like to have a logo. What would I like on the picture? Well, whatever you want, as long as it says "Homer of the Day" on there somewhere. Thanks a lot in advance.

Sorry guys, for the late article. Thanks for your patience. I'll be sure to catch up. It's my weekend, and I'm free, so... you'll be sure that I'll be working for the next couple of days.
